British, steel Plated War -Ships.---
We notice that the British Admiralty,
following the example of Napoleon1lI,'
has commenced building steel-plated
war ships, but it seems unsettled To
what extent this may be necessary. Tho
London Observer announces that tho
Admiralty ''have decided upon COM
mencing the building Of, another steel
plated ship, of very large proportions,
and fitted with engines of power calcu-
lated TO give her very high ratio of
speed The new ship is Intended to bo
400 feot III length, which is nearly dou
Bile that Of many Of the line Of battlo
ships, and considerable gr eater than
other ship at present existing in the ma
Wy, Every device to render her as
nenrIy shot-proof as possible will DO
adopted, and as she is to be armed cX-
clusively with heavy Armstrong guns
ofgreat range, she will .bo the most
formidable ship aAout."

Talking of panic,
Must have never seen

Whose matrimonial boss,
At home among the kettles,

SO early, oh dear me,
How black appears the steeple,
Yet one can scarcely see,
The markets. for the people.
SO gliding, here and there,
Such crowds of pretty ladies.
Each face, and form, as fair
As Photographs at Bradys-
The Butcher, for their bills,
To.trade with them, are willing
Tho he's the chap 1Ohat Kills
He finds their charms more killing
That dark glance seems to speak
Why venus couldn't touch her
She whecdles that prime steak
At prime cost from the butcher.
Here, those who make our clothes,
Or who our hods have carried,
Or Bencdicts and beauX,
Our single men, and married,
Our dandies and our swells,
Our sisters and our brothers,
Our cousins and our bellies,
Our fathers and our mothers,
Our merchants and our clerks,
Law, Physic and Mechanics,
A heavy basket jerks,
Yet people talk of panics.
Why lord you must be sick,
To call this dull time, sir,
A BREAKFAST, for pic
A dinner, for a dime sir,
"F'our bitS"-you lie, that's fiat,
1t may be for some gluttons,.
Who'd swallow Jumps of fat
As big as ivory buttons,
Here turtle is washed down
With lightning draughts incessant,
Why Wales would trade his crown

With vegetable fixins,
A better sausage line,

Stretch further still, and further,
Showing their CHASTITY sights,

Here epicures may get
A frog, with leg for handle,
Or little canine pet,
But out upon such scandel.
Our family, you say,
Are getting so volcanic,
They threaten fight each day,
And that's what makes the panic:
Here's Georgi, on a spree;
Well let her rip, what matter,
And Miss Carolina be
As mad as any halter;
Virginia, too. shows fight.
And Madam Mississippi,
Once held the Union tight,
Now goes it rather slippy.
And there's Mis-, sour, too,
Yes sour indeed, her Eye looks
An amalgamating shrcw,
That at Pompcy throws sly looks,
Mary, land, of Ugly Plug,
And KentUckec, la-long Rife
They look on with serious mug.
And don't squall out for a trif1e;

Sugar Pct'ce, for her nanny,
She may yet for many a year,
Keep house for Uncle SAMMY.

Ing tale of fiction could be wrought. woman named
Ellen Welch found last night by one of the police
men, rowing bOut the streets slightly intoxicated. She
arrested upon the charge OF vagrancy Parties who
are knowing her history inform US that some five or
six years ago. Ellen away from Ireland in company
with dashing young lrishman, whom her parents had
forbidden her to marry Her father lived at Castle Kear
ney, and was man of opulence and influence and
Ellen had been well brought up. But with that per
verseuess which is ALWAYS characteristic of love,
bent upon marrying the young officer She accordingly
eloped with him and came TO Philadelphia, where she
was married She lived with her husband about year.
at the expiration of which time he died She then came
to Chicago and married again, but again was doomed to
misfortune. Her husband, who had the reputation Of
being an excellent man. drowned IN the river by fall
ling from a schooner Ellen maintained herself BY sew
ing for time but finally fell in with dsreputabe cha
racters who heeced her out of her clothing, and al
owance of $50 which she received every three months
from her father through the priest She took to drink

Mary OConnel being his sister. Her parents, as we
said before occupy Castle keaney, in Ireland and are
known through the length and breath OF Ireland

acts of kindness.
Thus this woman descended from ilusious line of
ancestors has gone down through the various stages OF
life until she has reached the bottom, and in this
city of Chicago thousands of miles away from her native
home this representative of nobleriamiy, connected
most intimately with the most vstrous genius Of Ire
land is a common street vagrant. How wonderful are
the relations of this life and how intricate and myseri
are its workings.
