The Distance of STAR from the

For many ages, this question puzzled as
tronomers; how far off are the Stars? 1t
was known that their distance was great,
very great, it was known that they were
immeasurably farther off than the sun, the
moon, or any of the planets; but it is only
in the present century that the question
has been partially answered the present.

Miss ABBoTT's BALLAD SGNGGNG.-The
Boston Advertisers musical critic says
One thing we must say, in the friendly
spirit appropriate to a notice of such an oc-
casion, if Miss Abbott does not cultivate
simplicity of style she will soon become in
capable Of good ballad singing, perhaps Of
every kind Of excellent singing Her cx-
CesSiye prolongation Of tones, her eXtravi-
CANT and sudden contrasts petween pianis-
smo and forte, her ai1ectations in phrasing
though they may result from an earnest
desire TO be ei1ective-will prove the ruin of
her style if she does not take serious heed
to her ways. SullivAn's Looking Back"
will not admit of such treatment as it re-
ceved from Miss Abbott last night, and
"Auld Lang Syne" was scarcely to be rec
ognized in its fantastic dress. And we
must confess our surprise at Miss Abbott's
selecting for performance on a recall the
hymn, Guide me, 0 thou Great Jehovah"
set to the melody of the first duo for tenor
and baritone in Martha"
