The recent defection of Senator Trum?
bull from tho Republican ranks, upon
the Ku Klux bill, is moro mourned over
than the secession of either Schurz or
Sumner. Mr. Trumbnll hos the reputa?
tion of being more conscientious than
most of his fellow-Senutors, and wields
an influence accordingly. He is, moro
j over, known to be among tho most far?
seeing and politic statesmen of tho day,
and tho bold, defiant position he has
taken in defence of the Southern poo plc,
and in behalf of n general peace policy,
is supposed to be indicative of a marked
change of sentiment among the people
he represents. The natural identity of
I commercial interest between tho West
and South has always boon oousidered
] by the Radicals a source cf danger, until
the present time negatived by n miuority
j representation at Washington. The
next apportionment will go fas, tow i
equalizing tho respectivo strength of il ?J
West and East, when a revolution
against the thraldom in which the for
mer is now held by tho latter will be
I imminent. In view of this crisis, a de
I feotion, so marked and important as that
of Mr. Trumbull, is not without signifi?
cance, and deadly significance at that, as
far as Radical rule is concerned. It is
generally admitted that the hedge be
I tween Democracy and Mr. Trumbull's
Republicanism is one. of the narrowest,
and as a general ton don cy toward conser?
vatism IB now being manifested through?
out the country, he is likely to be
brought into uncomfortable prominence
for the echemos now meditated. When
such men, whose high standing and de?
voted loyalty gave color to the advocacy
of many questionable measures, with?
draws from further association, it is a
plain intimation that the extremes medi?
tated are not only generally distasteful
to a very large class of citizens, but that
they will not be tolerated. Deprived of j
this power, tho tiger loses its teeth.
Unless means and ways are speedily de?
vised to bend the broken broach now so
rapidly widening, even the blindest of I
the Radicals must foresee destruction as
inevitable.
The hatred of Germany and every?
thing Gorman, which has been engender
od in Franco by tho recent war, shows
itself in a variety of ways. The hardest
thing which the Paraisiuus can bring
themselves to bato with sufficient cordi?
ality, is tho boer of Bavaria. Now this
is most decidedly a Gorman production
and ought not to hove the love of any
patriotic Frenchman, but to bato Bava?
rian beer is a test of patriotism too rigid
for unman nature, especially French na?
ture, to bear, so it is proposed to do
away with the difficulty by presenting ti
still stronger motivo of patriotism for
drinking tho beer. Tho Figaro has pro?
posed a duty of five centimes per glass
on nil imported German beer, tho pro?
ceeds of the tax to bo accumulated for
the expenses of a future war against Ger?
many. Nothing could bo moro ingeni?
ous and satisfactory thou this pinn. It
is thereby made a merit as well as a plea?
sure to drink Bavarian beer, patriotism
is nourished by every glass, and then
there ia poetic justice in using the Ger?
man beverage for the accumulation of
funds and fury to avengo tho wrongs of
1870-*71.
AFIUID OF FITJUDUSTERS. -Tho Austra?

ports to prepare for a descent of this
kind.

MANUFACTURING NAILS.-An,English
inventor has taken ont a patent for a
new method of making nails. From his
specification, we learn that the method
is substantially as follows: The inventor
forms flat bars or strips of wrought iron
in the ordinary way, and by tho nae..of
ordinary machinery'.' While the bars or
strips so formed is still hot, he passes it
between a pair of shaping rolls... .One of
these rolls ia plain cylinder, .and the
other roll has the general figuro bf a cy?
linder, with a series of incline or steps
made on its cylindrical surface, the.said
incline or steps of the roll having such a
conformation that the bar roiled between
it and the plain cylinder roll has,in-long?
itudinal seotion the figure of. a aeries of
headless nails joined together shank to
point., While still hot, the shaped' bar
or strip is slit into nail rods by a series
of oiroular slitters, the whole bar being
simultaneously slit up by the said slit?
ters into nail rods." These ' nail" rods
when cold are fed into a beading ma?
chine, by which the nails are beaded'and
cutoff from the nail rod. -The heading
and cutting off maohine which ho em?
ploys differs in no essential respect from
other machines commonly used for head?
ing and cutting off nails.
THE NARROWEST GAUGE YKT. FOB A
RAILROAD.-A new style of railways will
shortly come before tho public in Eng?
land under the title of tho Pennier sys?
tem. A single row of piles . carries a
continuous girder, on which tho train
runs, the carriages hanging ' dowh on
each side to within a short distance of
the ground. The carriages are BO
arranged that inequality of weight on
one Bide to the.extent of a ton will not
affect the action." The.small quantity of
land'required, cheapness of construction,
and speed, are 'advantages claimed
for iL
Portland, Me., can boast of ono smart
woman if no more. In 'order to save
her husband's taking the poor debtor's
oath, he being in jail on a debt in favor
of an illicit liquor dealer, she visited the
saloon where she purchased and drank a
glass of whiskey. After she had paid
for the liquor she demanded, with con?
siderable fire, the rel?ase of her hus?
band, and the crest-fallen dealer did so as
aa alternative to a liquor seizure and
prosecution.
A citizen of Kentnoky beibg unex?
pectedly called upon to.address aSunday
school, ros? to his feet in some -confu?
sion, and after some desperate but vain
efforts to say something appropriate,
hoarsely murmured, "Dear children,
never fool with powder."
A fellow got permission to leave a bag
of potatoes in a New York grocery over
night, and when the grocer went home a
burglar got ont of that bag and helped
himself to the pennies and scrip.
Moro than 200 murders have been
