Steel Pens.

1t is said that upwards of a thousand mil

yearly in Birmingham, England. One esta.

and puts each dealers name on the pens he
orders The sheets of steel are reduced to
the requisite tenuity by successive transits
through the rolling. mill operations. tended
by men and boys. When reduced TO the
thinness of steel pen-length about two #.
breadth two and half to three inches-the
sheets are ready for punching out the blanks.
The process is performed with great rapidtv
one girl of average industry and dextertv
being able to punch out about one hundred

the blank in n concave die, on which slight
touch from convex punch produces the re-
quisite shape-that of the semi.tube The
Sits and apertures to increase the elasticity
and the makers or vender's name or mark,
are5produced by similar tool. Previously,
however, the pen undergoes a variety of
other processes. When completed all but the
slit, it is soft and pliable, and may be bent or
twisted in the hand like piece of thin lead
Being collected in the crosses or great gross,
es, the pens are thrown into little iron square
boxes, and placed in a furnace, where they
remain till box and pens are of a white heat
They are then taken out and thrown, Kissing
hot, into pals or tanks of oil, when they may
be broken like so many waters; after drain
ing. they are made to revolye rapidly in a

FRfGHTFUL DEATH IN WAsHINGroN about
half past ten o'clock on Friday night, officers
King and Rabbit took shelter from n shower
of rain in BARRIERS shop, on seventh, be.

colored men in partnership. Rabbit sat
down in one of the BARRIERS chairs, and as he
did so, the breast of his overcoat opened and
the end of pistol which was in his side
pocket became displayed. Talley one of the
partners, seeing it, asked the officer to let
him look at it, to which he consented Tai
ley, on getting the pistol, began handling the
lock, but the officer cautioned him not to do
SO !; but the warning had scarce escaped
from his lips, when the pistol went off, and
the ball entered the face of Brown, (another
of the partners) near the eye, and taking an
upward direction it passed out through the
back of the head.
The unfortunate man fell back and died
instantly, without uttering word or a cry.
He was in the act of putting piece of to.
baeco in his mouth, and was sitting within
four feet of Talley with whom he was talk
ing pleasantly at the time. Taley was i'm.
mediately conveyed to the watch house by
the officers, and on their return they met the

Lola MOntez in Ireland.

A Dublin correspondent of the New York
Tablet writes:
Lola Montez delivered her second lecture
last Friday evening, the subject being The
comic aspect of Fashion" She began at the
beginning to some purpose, commencing with
Adam and Eve. and tracing the various twists
and changes of fashions from those early
times down to the present epoch of peg top
trousers, "hoops" and crinoines which bv.
the bye she stood up for boldly Il mean the
"hoops" and crinolines), on the ground that
they are an improvement, in a sanitary point
OF view, on the injurious practice heretofore
pursued by ladies of heaping a fabulous num-
Der of garments on their persons for the pur
pose of giving them a graceful outline The
lecture contained little that was new, much
that was coarse, slangey, and otherwise OBJ
Jectlonable. She thought proper to take up
the cause of morality and modesty, which she
said were perlled and frequently outraged
by fashion. One cannot help thinking, how.
ever fantastic the notion be, that if these
localities known to us as morality and mod.
esty would be put into some human form, and
enabled to give expression to their feelings,
they would in all probability quote the spiri-
ted observations of Rolla when addressing the
Peruvians, and intimate that they sought no
aid, and least of all such aid as she would
give them. She was particularly down" on
America in connection with fashion, where
she said it ruled ST. universally that the gos
pei should be tricked out in kid gloves and
broadcloth Of stylish cut if it wished to make
way. Some of the morning papers having
reported her first lecture at some length
Lola iutimated to the editors of these Jour
nails that she considered the proceeding an
infringement on her copyright, and desired
that it mi ght not be repeated. The editors,
who no doubt had heard of horse whipping
and bulldogs in connection with the lady,
promptly complied with her request in deal
ing with her second lecture. Her third and
last discourse was ION the English and Amer
lean Character" which did not contain any
thing calling for special remark. She will
re deliver her lectures in Cork after Christ

A WONDERFUL PARRoT.-A certain lady
who was famous for making good picked
walnuts, and was very fond of eatiug them,
too, on one season discovered that her Jars
were empty before she had fairly tasted her
fivorite pickles She called her servants to
account, but each one denied having meddled
with the jars, and the good lady determined
if possible, to find out the thief So she
made another fine lot of pickles, and placed
them on the shelf in the same store.room,
keeping daily watch upon them. To her
great surprise, she discovered no other than
her pet parrot to be the pilferer of her pickle
jars. She caught him hooking out the wal
nuts with his crooked beak, and in her an
ger she dashed upon him a pitcher of hot
water, which she CHANGED to have in her

Poor Phi was in a sad plight, both in suffer

SECRET OF THE "SECREr SOCIETIES" IN IRE
LAND.-Whatever may the opinion in regard
to the English government in England, there
will be no demur to the allegation that the
English government in Ireland is an abomi-
nation. The chief duty of that government
and its agents seems to he the keeping M of
antagonistic feeling between the different
classes of lriShmen, the keeping alive reli-
gious dissension, and making the rich mis-
trust the poor man and look upon him as his
natural foe All. from the Viceroy and the
Secretary Of State to the Stipendarv Magis-
trate and the Police-Constable labor with
this intent. They are never to allow feel
ing of security to pervade the land for any
length of time
The late proclamation Of the mock chival-
rOus Lord Lieutenant and the arrest of some
dozen youths as members of secret societies
are some of the tricks of the trade of mis-
governing Ireland. The violence and clamor
with which few enthusiastic Young men
who, even though they had indulged in the
illegal pastime of drilling and training. ."
could neve. have done as much harm to their
peacefully inclined fellow subjects. as the
soldier of England do in their drunken
street-brawls, shows that the policy of the
English government in Ireland is still the
same infamous scheme of Spreading terror and
distrust throughout the Island, and making
their own work the pre'ext for Withholding
from ireland rights, which can no longer be
refused to the aroused Public opinion Of
Englrnd proper The unmistakable deter
mination of the masses in England to wrest
from an unwilling aristocracy measures of
electoral reform, renders legislation in that
sense imperative in the coming session OF
Parliament. To have an excuse for refusing
the extension of such reformatory me sures
to Ireland, explains the endeavor on the
part of the government agents to attribute
undue importance to the Insignificant move
ment of few rash and enthusiastic youths
by the ecldt Of their arrest. Add to this the
growing jealousy of English spectators
aroused by the awakened commercial enter
prise of Ireland, and the consequent desire to
frighten monied men, English as well as
Irish, from investing their money in enter
plises in Ireland. and the motives of the late
proclamation as well as the late arrests are
patent.
The long list of Trelands wrongs is well
calculated to fire the hot blood of the youth
ful student of her history, and drive his in
experience into errors which the prudence oI
maturer years condemns Were ireland
honestly and wisely governed, the English
government would recognize this fact and
make it the basis of their legislation-M Y
