earth, and not 100000, as our ridiculous
astronomers had SO fondly believed.
Mrs. NINA VAN ZANDT MALATo saws
that she hates Anarchy, and that her
great love was for August Spies and not
for his cause. 1t would seem that this
is matter of more interest to Mr..
Malato than to the general public, and
1t may be conceded that the time has ar
rived for the press to discontinue its at
tentions to this rather hysterical young
lady.

ANDREW JOHNSON, says the New York
Press, was the only president who ever
stood on foreign soil while holding
office. It occurred during the famous
''swing around the CIRCLE" in 1866,
while visiting Niagara Falls, when he
went in carriage to the Canadian side.
The President did not think at the time
that he had violated a precedent, and
it occurred to him only when he had re-
| turned to his hotel and was alone with
his secretary, who promised to keep
| the matter secret.
