Death or the Wife or the "W,cke,iest

uo NcW 1OIA AEAOuAOs oCpSs So
Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of John Allen,
known as "the Wickedest Man in New
York." died of dropsy, at her home in
Roosevelt street, on Saturday last. Her
health had been declining for some time,
property where her family resided is valued
at about SG0, 900, and is the fruit of Johns
nineteen years of labor in the dance house
business in Water street. The funeral took
place Mt tho residence yesterday at 2! D. M.
A goodly number Of people were pre-
sent, for most of Mrs. Aliens old dance
house friends had come to take the last
farewell OF their old companion. Only five
or nix men were to be seen; all tho rest
were girls or women. Three Catholic
priests had been in attendance mp to the
time of her death. The Rev. j. G. Arnold,
formerly Superintendent of the Howard
Mission, and an old friend of the Allen fam
lily was preeent. A large proportion of the
mourners did not appear to manifest much
grief for the loss of an old friend, Some

was removed he went ont and got a drink
Many Of the women walked MP TO the
coffin, gazed q moment, then bent over and
kissed the. face OF the dead three times.
Little Chester, a boy Of about eight years,
seemed deeply affected, and he could
scarcely believe that he WAS never to see
his mother again in this life. The husband
kissed his dead wife for the last time, and
then said: There is the hest friend I ever
had, and that is all can do for her." As
tie coffin was being taken down stairs he
remarked, ''she is going to the grave feet
first" The burial took place at Calvary
Cemetery.

The Corn Land OF Northern Germany.
A correspondent of the New York Even
ing Mail says:
At Bromberg the road branches off to
Dantzic, due north and to Warsaw on the
south, but our way lay on the left OF the
Vistnla, though at quite distance from
it, and through q most beautiful country.
One who looked for hills. and Wales, wind,
ing streams and romantic waterfalls, bold
cliffs aud dark ravinss, would look in vain;
he would be utterly disappointed, but the
landscape had quiet beaqty Of its own
There were immense fields, acre upon acre
of ploughed ground, regularly furrowed, as
far ~ the eye could reach, as if the ocean
waves had been stayed in their reverend

This extended several miles, aud is part

unchecked by hill or tree. However, as
soon as we fairly entered the valley OF the
Vistula the country Was much better wood
ed, and thrifty farm houses appeared at in
tervals, and pretty little lakes, covered
with white water lilies, by the road side
we should call them ponds at home, but
here in Europe, any sheet of water larger
than pocket handkerchief il dubbed
lake. At about o'clock the sun began to
sink through bars of crimson, gold, and
pearly clouds over the dark pine woods of
the West, but it was long time in going
down, and it seemed to us, unaccustomed
to these very long twilights, which have
none Of the greyness of ours, as if it never
went down at all. At ten the haymakers
and reapers were still at work in tho fields,
the women wearing three cornered white
kerchief on their head, tied under their
chins, and the men in wide-brimmed straw
hats; while standing in the barns were huge
wagons heaped with hay, aud near were
pensive looking oxen slowly chewing their
end.
