THE ANTI-SLAVER BUGLE.
D IDA PFEIFFER.

This lady, whose remarkable talent for travel
has made not only her name but her face familiar
in every vast of the globe, paid u visit to the
Tribune Office yesterday, having understood that
it is the most com plete newspaper establishment
in the country, and spent some time in ispect-
ing its various departments. Madam Pfeitfer is.
about fifty years of age, rather under the medium
size, and of that apparently slight build which is
usually combined with great prowers of endurance.
Her face is mild and benevolent in its expression,
yet her keen, brigh black eye conveys the i'm
preston of a remarkable energetic aud enthusi-
nctic nature. Two years under an East Indian
sun have given her almost a Creole complexion.
She is quite, genial, and u%nassuming in her man,
nors, and seems admirable fitted by nature to en-
counter all climates, and make her way among all
races of mankind.
This is Madam Pfeiffer's fourth great journey.
She first visited Turkey, Palestine. and Egypt,
aud then, after an interval of repose. Sweden,
Norway, and Iceland. Mr.. Bartlett, the English
artist, who was her fellow traveller in Palestine,
Informed US that he had never met with any one
who bore the annuyanao4 of travel with 50 much
patience, nr was sustained by so much quiei
energy and selfcongdcncc. In June, 1916. she
sailed for Brazil, visited the Indian tribes Of the
interior, aud resided some time in 5tio Janeiro

to Big1ad and the ruins of NircvaE crosse,
over into Persia, visited the Caucasus and south
orn Russia, and finally returned to Vienna 10y wa,
of Constantinorlc and Athens, after an absence
Of three years. We have seen it stated that sh,
accomplished this remarkable tour at an expcns,
of less than 81, 900.
Her publii he'd accounts of her travels now be
gan to attract attention, and helped to furnish he
with the means to undertake new journeys
Early in 1851, she received a grant of $500 from
the Austrian Government, and in May of tina
wear sailed from London for the Cape of Goo,
Hope. 1t had been her intention to undertake Il,
exploration of the interior of South Africa, bu
she was obliged to relinquish it on account Of tn
expense. She then sailed for the East Indies, ant
after touching at Singapore, proceeded to Dorneo
Not content with visiting the Dutch settlements on
the southern part of the island. and the dominion
of Rajah Brooke, at Sarawak, she penetrated int
the interior, among the Dyak tribes, where n
white person had ever been before her. Ate
spending several months in Borneo, she yisite,
Java, Sumatra, and the Moluccas. In Sumatr
she spent some time in the Kingdoms of tn
native Malay princes, in the northern part Of til
island. She speaks Of this part of her trip a
having been CT unusual interest. She desired ex
tending her trip TO Japan, in the Dutch vesse
which left Batavia during her residence there, bu
F. was prevented by the fact that no women are a
lowed to accompany the Dutch to Nagaski, or t
