A STRANGE IMPOSTER. STORY OF A LONDON BAKER AND HIS ! RODORR.: . s ' On my arrival in London: Ii took lodgings in Half Moon street, Piccadilly. The proprietor of the house was a baker, well to do in the world, and like many of his country-men, an in< tense admirer of - everything that pertained to rank or nobility. He was a fat, jovial fellow, and often invited me to the parlor to have a talk over a pot of “’alf and ’alf,” observing with much pride that noblemen and. gentlemen -who had been his lodgers had often honored him with a sociable chat over the beverage. 1 e gt One evening, while he was entertaining me amith anecdotes of & certain lord, a respectable looking man called and engaged the rooms on the ground floor, which were then vacant. 'The stranger, seeming satisfied with the Erice, said that as he had just come up tom -Banbury, he should occupy ’t.hg rooms that same evening., .~ ‘. . . “Banbury, Banbury,” said the baker, “why, that’s my native place.” “Indeéd,” said the lodger in surprise, “then I suppose you have heard of Mr. Wickham ¢

“Although I have no personal recollection of the gentleman,” replied the baker, “I know his family as well as I know my fingers and thumbs.— Why, sir, he is the richest commoner in the country. It must be now fifteen years gince I lived at Banbury, and 1 am somewhat in ignorance about affairs down there, but if you are a friend of Mr. Wickham, you’re as welcome to my house as flowers in May orjcoals at Christmas.” = - If an angel had suddenly descended through the ceiling with a clap. of thunder, no ' deeper impression could have been produced upon' thé baker than he evinced when the person he accosted:s informed him that he was the veritable Mr. Wickham himself.— The, baker seémed 6bgequiousness and respect, and rushed éut of the'room to call up his family, for his guest to see them. After giving a_détailed aecount of the manner in. which he first met his wife, and the respective ages of his children, he ingisted on all drinking to the health of the new-com-er. |He did not for a moment «doubt his having Mr. Wickham for his lodger; | yet he could not help wondering that/neither footman nor portmantean appeared. The next morning he made bold to ask how a gentleman of his estatc came to be unattended.

“ITush,” exclaimed Wickham, holding up his hand in a posture of admonition; ‘“my servants are not in the way at present, as I don’t want my arrival to bes known. lam going to arrcst a merchant who owes me three thousand pounds. ' If he should know of my pregence in town, my purpose would be deteated ; 8o keep quiet, and don’t mention my name, whatever you do. You ghall know all in good time.” ' That - night a servant came, and Mr; Wickham fell into a great rage at Lim for allowing the porter to put his trunks in the wrong train. 2)

“Phis, sir, will cost’ me a delay of three days,” shouted the irate Wickbham, go that everybody in the house might hear him.- “Have you telegraphed to warn them of the mistake.”

“Jeames has just been to the office, sir,” replied the valet, with a submissive defference, “‘and he says the baggage will be here the day after to-mor-row.” Yt e ;

#And what in the name ot Heuaven am I to do in the meantime?”’ resumed the bewildered Wickham. My friend, Lord Grosvenor, and others, are out of town, and here I am, owing to your stupidity, without money or clothes, and cannot attend to my business. You had better send James at once to Banbury to bring me/some linen; and tell him to get fifty pounds from my secretary.” aTh

When the servant had taken his departure the baker ran to his drawera, and laying hands on the best linen he had, carried it to Mr. Wickham and begged the honor of his wearing if. He also laid fifty pounds on the table, and expressed a hope that his est would not take it amiss if he of-%eli-ed these slight tokens of respect and regard. -Wickham at first refused, but was not proof against the pressing solicitations of the obsequious baker, Three days afterward the footman * arrived ‘in gorgeous livery with the misain§ trunks, and the baker, more satisfied ‘than ever that he had to do with. :Wickham, one of the richest and noblest :of j.g‘en:ieemeg. in the kingdom, made it more and more his ‘business to give fresh marks. of ‘his respect and attachment. ' In short, Wickham did the baker- the honor of accepting from him three hundred and Bixty guineas, for all of which’ he gave B diefiater <oty - e E |, About six weeks after the opening 'of this adventure, the affable and conidescending Wickham, while enjoying 'himself at a tavern, was seized with ‘a violent headache, accompanied by a ‘burning fever. - As'soon as hé found 3hi'm_3el§ ill, he went home to his lodg‘ings, where he was waited upon by one of his footmen, and assisted in ‘everything by the good baker, who advanced all money that was wanted, and passed his- word to the doctor, apothecaries and ‘everybody else,— In the meantime ‘the patient grew worse and worse. The baker grieved, to the heart at the condition of his illustrious friend, felt bound ‘to tell him, though with much reluctance, what _the doetor thought of his condition, Wickham received the news calmly, -and with all the resignation of a true Christian fully prepared for death.— ,He desired a minister to be sent for, and received the communion the same day. %M“m‘g&* omper and Ik% reaging to an alarmo, Reteht, Wickliand sold Stk that it was not enough |g?

'ﬁ‘be b.oi)&“was 1 not to bfeidte\-f‘ed until the fourth day after death, and all ‘was' ready by the second”” The baker had now timé te look for the lawyeribefore: helaid ‘his benefactor in the ground.;, Having put. the body into a rich. quﬁp,f,gwerf ed with velvet, and plates of silver, and made all the other arrangemetts, 'he began‘to consider-that it'Wwould not e improper to reimburse bhimself a 3 enon as. posgihle and to aleie poses, gion of :hie;,new,estateg-,;ﬁg phlerqugc went and communicated the ,‘wﬁ:ofe"af} : fair to his lawyer. ' This gentleman, being of a shrewd ‘and suspicious turn, expressed ‘much astonishment at the manner in which his client had come into possession of sgo large an estate, and immedia_teiy inst‘itute"ﬁ an~i£qu’firy. He requested the baker to call next morning, when he would be enabled ta: advise. him . on: the subject. Wie may.. easily imagine the disappointment of the baker, when at the hour appointed the lawyer informed him that according.to a telegram’ received the evening before from Banbury, the true My, Wickham - was in perfect health, The film fell from the poor | baker’s eyes as he at once saw that | he had been badly “bitten’’ ‘b%r'a. vil- | lain and ‘a hypocrite.

They dug a hole in a corner of St. Clement’s” church yard,. where they threw in the body with as little ceremony as-pussible. = |

The repudiation of the public debt ‘either how or heréagtér' may resulgin great individudl ‘havdship and suffer‘ing. ~ It would be diﬁicgt to conceive any great change in the political or soeial condition of a people, no matter -how' beneficial to the masses, that would not be attended with hardships to some. - The abolition of slavery in this country may regult in the general good, but'its overthrow has cost a half million of ,l,ivc; and more monéy ‘than tho' pectiniary value of all the ‘slaves in'the Republic.” The losses inflietéd upon wives ‘and mothers and children are irreparable, ‘but the few ‘must suffer for the good of the whole. Thero are a few thousand bondholders, and, as a class, they have made very little sacrifice during the war; they would be subjected to a pecuniary loss by the nun-payment ot t#ic debt. That he may get his gold shall the millions who labor be consigned to hopeless servitude for generations? T'he producing class: must pay the debt if it is paid, and the lion’s share ‘of their earnings must be a?proprjated; to satisfy the demands of the public proditors, . ¢ o

If, as decreed by the. Republican partay,' twenty-five hundred millions of bords must ‘be paid in gold, it becomes a graye question whether the ftei'pét,uzill robbery and ‘enslayement of labor is preferable to repudiation, or, in ‘other words, whether it is just, right, or golitic’ ‘to impoverish those who toil that wealth may be" concentrated in the hands of the few. |~ @47 |

The " interests' of "thé ‘masses ‘and ‘those of ‘the’ bond-holders are in direct'antﬁonism. 'The moneyed aristocracy of Englaid would’ have the ‘principal of thedebt paid if it'was _practicable. They live: upon-interest wiung from the toil and 'sweat of la‘bor. If the debt was wiped-out or paid off, their, condition would be pitiable, while the millenniam would come to the hewers of wood and drawers of water. - So in this country, ' the money power, the bond-holders t@‘nd,_‘National bankers never wish the public debt paid off. ' They are for funding bills, or any and every contrivance which abatracts the earning of labor for their benefit. ©. oi by *lfit were practicable’ and possible to'give to the bond-holders their fall share of the real and' personal .i‘;qfrbih ety of the mation and cancel their ‘bongde, they would object to the transcéivesonly the percentage which a judicious and frugal management of ‘their property would afford instead of three times ‘that amount which’ their ‘bonds now yield. The net annual ad“dition to the nation’s wealth is about -three per cent. . Estimating .the preseht wealth at twenty billions: of dollars, it will be increased in a:year to twenty billions six' hundred ‘millions.

" The twenty-five hundred millions of bonds, by this estimate, would entitle the holders to a deed for one-eighth of the .whole property. Transfer this one-eighth of the realty and personalty in exchange for their borids, and by usual diligence and economy they will réalize for. their, investment in one year seyénty-five, millions of dollars, whilp they now receive, without effort, one. hundred and -fifty =millions.— Again, if they had the property it would. be subject to taxation, but, as their bonds“are exempt, seventy-five millions ‘more must be added, rendering their bonds three times as productive as would be the same sum invested in other property. . The moneyed aristocracy being interested in theperpetuation ‘6fithe phblie: debt: o long ag it retaing gowerfnq schemé for its liquidation will find favor.

- Charles II closed the exchequer and wiped out the debt, amounting to. two millions eight hundred thousand £.

Notwithstanding all this the spiritrof the French nation was not destroyed, nor did she lose the: confidence or the respect. of other nations. . The idea_that a people will esteem themselves and be esteemed by others in proportion to their craven submission to be taxed to support a moneyed oligarchy, is wholly false.

The Michigan Bou?ﬁern Road is alréady earning five millions of dollars pér annum, a sum almost equal to the cost of construction of a first-class road from Toledo to' Chicago.
