 Allen street was entirely blocked with people on Saturday evening who had assembled for the purpose of wit messing party of minstrels who were giving an out door performance, and one of their number walk the tight rope in total darkness. The troupe got about fifty dollars for their trouble and those who contributed were satis- fled that they had got the worth of their money.
 Joseph Allen, minnr, departed this life on Saturday evening, and was buried this afternoon. His funeral was attended by large number of friends and acquaintances, who laid him away in his narrow home to await the call of Him who will soon suIu- mon us all before him.

.Great Many Widows.
From the New York Sun.

The report of the Commissioner of Pensions presents some curious facts. At the close of the last fiscal year there were on the rolls "2,945 survivors. of the war of 1872, and 17,212 widows oft those who Served in that war" In other words, the widows 7outnum bered the,s6rYiyors six to one.
 According tothe same authority the total number of applications fied'from 1871, when the law took effeet for this class of pensioners, to 1885 vas Sur vivors, 34,673; widows, 53,6S3. This shows how rapidly the survivors widows have gained on the survivors.
 When it is remembered that the war of 1872 closed over seventy years ago, surprise may be we'll excited that there should now be more than 20,000 pensioners on the rolls, of whom IT, PIP are widows. Atwhat age did they marry, and are soldiers widows ex- ceptionally endowed with long lives? Exact answers to all these questions would furnish interesting information, and might reduce the number of pen sioners.
 The Commissioner says that "ex tended inquiries are being prosecuted with a view to purging the pension tie pension rolls of the various agcn- :cI.as pf the names Of those fraudulent lyianu illegally borne thereon, and great success is attending the work" This assurance is general in terms, and, of course, does not apply 10 any sprcial class of pensioners. But every class should be carefully examined.
 When the connecting link between Generals Geronimo and Crook was broken by the death of Captain Craw- focd, and Lieutenant Maus started on a,rapid march back to Fort Bowie, leaving the Apaches wholly unpro- tccted against the Mexican militia, some people might have imagined that old Geronimo "got eit''-but he didn't. Although Geronimo was "thoroughly exhausted" and Maus had several days the start of him and was coming on a dead run, the big-footed and black hearted old warrior overlook the troops before they got to the boundary line, and, failing to get "terms" for surren- der, surrendered internationally. Old Geronimo generally "gets there" and he would rather be in the loving arms oi his friend Crook, with a thousand ghosts of murdered American women and children lowering about the low ing pair, and fifty millions of the friends of the slaughtered innocents bowling at their heels, and then take the desperate chances of a conflict with fifty armed Mex;cans-for, un- like Crook, the Mexica2$ have not yet acquired the art of tfansmogrifying live Indians into herds Of cattle and fiocks of sheep.-Frontier.
