MELANCHOLY ucCURMNx At THE saAMsHcY PARK HOTEL.

Soon after six O'Clock on Tuesday evening very
melancholy affair, resulting In the death OF one
Timothy G. Allyn, . wealthy gentleman engaged In
the fire insurance business at No. SO william street,
occurred at the Gramercy Park Hotel. On Saturday
last Mr.. Allyn tooK drive In the Park and while
there some recklessy drove against his carriage
crushing and nearly running It and injuring him
severely Since that time Mr.. Allyn has been con-
fined to his room and the accident has seemed TO
annoy him very much. aside from the pain and in
convenience it caused him.
AT the time named on Tuesday evening Mrs. Allyn
went down to her dinner, leaving her husband
alone In the room. shortly before seven O'Clock
she returned, and on opening the door OF
the room, was Mortified TO see her husband
lying on his bacK on the floor, with blood over his
face and on the noor where he lay. MIS- Allyn
screamed for help. which soon arrived, and upon
examining the body life was found to be extinct: a
pistol shot wound in the centre OF the forehead was
TO be seen.
Mr. Allyn had long kept pistol in his bureau
drawer as q protection from thieves and burglars,
and from the fact that the drawer was open ana
blood on the clothing inside 1t rs presumed that Mr.
Allyn examined the weapon, and while doing so IL
exploded, thus driving bullet into his brain.
Almost instant death must have been the result
Coroner Rollins, on being notified, held an inquest
on the BODY, and the jury returned verdict Of
death from accidental shooting. Mr.. Allyn was
forty years OF age and native OF Connecticut. lie
has left widow and one son, about fourteen years
of age.

A RASH MAN.-The name of the Rev. Mr..
English is not known to the public. Suffice
it to say that he dTeils ia Milwaukee and
that he attended the woman suffrage meet
ing in that city at which Mrs. E. @. Stanton
and Miss Anthony were speakers. The re-
suit we learn from a letter written by the
latter to the Revolution. She says:
Rev. Mr.. England also profanely claimed
the Bible on the side of tyranny, and seemed
to think with George w. Downing. that ''Na
ture intended that the male should dominate
over the female everywhere" As Mr.. e. is a
small, thin, shadOwy man, without much
blood, muscle, or a very remarkable cerebral
development, we would advise him always to
void the branch of the argument he STUN
bled upon in the Milwaukee Convention,
"the physical superiority of man." Untor-
tunately for him, the platform illustrated the
opposite, and the audience manifested, ever
and anon, by suppressed laughter. that they
saw the contrast between the large, well-de-
veloped brains and muscles of the women
who sat there, and those of the speaker.
Either Madame Anneke, Mrs. Livermore, DR..
Ross, or Susan B. Anthony, could have taken
the Rev. gentleman up in her arms and run
off with him. Now, mean nothing invidi-
Gus towards small men, for some OF the great
est men the world has known have been
physically inferior, for example, Lord Nelson,
Napoleon, our own Grant and Sheridan, and
ex Secretary Seward. All mean to say is,
that it is not polite or in good taste for q
small man TO come before an audience and
claim physical superiority that branch of the
argument should be left for the great, burly
fellows six feet high and wellproportioned
who illustrate the assertion by their over
powering presence.

The CLERKS AT WAsHINGToN.-Office
seekers may be interested to know that there
are eight great government departments in
Washington, employing, according to the last
issue of the Blue Book, 4,400 clerks. This
does not include the heads of bureaus, nor the
messengers and laborers, nor heads the un-
known number of mere temporary clerks en-
gagged at special times in several of the offices,
and paid out of the contingent expense
fund. These clerks are divided into first, Sec
ond, third and fourth class. The pay of the
first class, contrary to the usage in England,
being the lowest-namely, 81 200 per annum /;
the second class, 81 400, the third 81, 600 and
fourth 81, 300. The pay of heads of bureaus is
from $1,000 to $500 per year; that of chief
clerks usually $4,000 or $4,000. The District
of Columbia furnishes 115 of these clerks, be-
sdes the day laborers and almost all the mes
sengers in the departments named, and the
employees for all the other public works, of
fees and places located in Washington. In
eight departments named some of the States
have but one clerk some twe three, four, five
six, seven, and so on, the highest number of
any one of them being New York, which has
100. Many families in Washington have four
and six members in the different offices. Some
of these people have been satirized in the
Washington daily papers as the "Grab-all fam
ily" One branch of this patriotic family, con
sisting of father and six brothers, are all in
office but one, who is studying for the minis
try-whether foreign or domestic is not known
The aggregate compensation of this famil J
was $8, 900 per annum. s

DEATH OF GEN. PHIL KEARNEY.-We are
informed by a prominent lawyer of this city,
that while sojourning in Amboy last night, he
passed pleasant hour in company with for
mer rebel officer, who was attached to Stone
wall Jackson's division of the Confederate
army during the war, and who related an in
teresting "Reminiscences of the death of General
Kearney of which sad event he was an eye
witness.
"The gallant Kearney," he said, received
his death wound from private in my COM
mand, and when he fell from his horse,
hastened with many others to the point where
he lay, not supposing that his wound was
mortal one just as we reached his body
however, his limbs gave one convulsive quiver
and then all was over. Seeing that he was
Major General word was sent to headquarters
to that effect, and General jackson ceming 10
the spot Immediately gave one glance at the
dead officers features and exclaimed, My
God, boys, do you know who you have killed?
You have shot the most gallant officer in the
United States army. This is Phil Kearney,
who lost his arm in the Mexican war. He
then involuntarily lifted his hat, every officer
in the group following his example, and for a
moment reverential silence was observed by
ALL Subsequently the body OF the dead sol
dier was placed upon two boards, and when
being removed to headquarters was followed
by General Jackson, General Ewell, and other
officers, while regimental band proceeded it
playing dead march. ."-NeiUdrk Courier
