Madam Pfeifer, the Traveller.

Who IS Madame Pleifter, and what is
she going round the world again fort
She is a German lady, about fifty
seven years old, said to be intelligent,
wealthy, and aeon plished, and to oil
appearance perfectly sane on every subject
except it be that Of travelling, which she
does entirely alone, aud on the lar.
gest scale.
Her husband and two sons, one gov
ernment official and the other an artist,
live in Germany. In 1916 she set out
on journey round the world. She went
first to Brazil, attracted by its magnif-
cient forests and flowers.
Here she came very near being mur-
dered by black ruffian. who undertook
to rob her. She still showes the scars
she received, but states with eviden,
satisfaction tha, she cut off three of his
fingers in self-defeucs, when fortunately
help came to her relief. She then en-
barked at Rio, doubled the Horn, visited
Valparaiso, took passage in another
vessel to Tahiti, and among other mem
en,oes Of her sojourn there, brought away
Queen romare's autograph.
From Tahiti she went TO China, then
to Calcutta. then overland across Bridish
India to Bombay, from there by steam
to Bussorah aud Bagdad, then with a
caravan to Mosul and the ruins Of Nine.
veh, whence she brough, several pieces
of sculpture, and thence to Croomia, o
course with varied alveptures. At nu.

From Oroomia she proceeded TO la
brees, then TO riflis, and across the eau
casus, through European Russia to Ole
ma and reach home after a tour Of lIt,l
more tsan two years.
As her stock OF language is limited
she is obliged much OF the time to depe
:. nd upon signs. One OF her card'na
rules Is never TO betray fear, in whateve
danger she may be, and another is t
dress and live cheaply and economically
two precautions that have doubtless cor
duc.d largely to her safety.

A BLACK HEAarEp V1LLrS.-- The
Mason, Of Chester, Illinois, have expell-
ed from their lodge one DR. Gordon, for
infamous conduct. The St Louis Herald
gives the following particulars OF the oc-
curence. This Gordon graduated in one
Of the medical schools Of this city, and
removed to Chester with DR.. Ferris. He
has an amiable wife and several children.
From some cause the son Of DR. Ferris
disliked Gordon and they remained ene-
mics until the death OF DR.. Ferris. Cor.
don then made friends with young Fer.
ris, and became intimate with beautiful
young lady to whom he was engaged to
be married.
Ferris removed to Cincinnati, ,and during
his absence, Gordon used every art in his
power to seduce the yong girl; but fall
ing in his hellish design, he administered
certain drugs, and then triumphed over
her virtue BY threats OF exposure he for.
ced her to continue the criminal connec-
ton, and received from her, letters ack-
nowledglng her guilt.
A short time ago Ferris returned to
Chester. and, thinking his be,rothed still
innocent, married her. Gordon, who had
never really forgiven Ferris the injuries
OF the past, placed package OF his wife's
letters in his way, which told the whole
story Of her crime. His first thought was
to take the life Of the destroyer OF his
peace, bu, not meeting him, and reflect
ing tina, his wife might be equally guilty
he lel, the village, and has never returned
The excitement growing out OF the afial
was intense. and the masons prompt,
expelled Gordon from the lodge.

"The true woman, for whose ambition

themselves in making laws for her nurse,
whose intelec, has field enough ter hel

whose heart askes no other honor Thar
his love and admiration: waman tha

her toilet, and does not dsdaln to b'
beautiful; who believes in the virtue o
p'ossy hair and we'll fitting gowns, an
eschews rents and ravelled edges, slip

woman who speaks low and dose no

Official Organs.

The straight Wing Convention took occasion to
formally recognize the Bangor Journal and State
of Maine as the only official organs Of their party.
This was very proper and becoming, when we
considerl the character Of those papers. The
former is edited by two gentlemen, one Of whom
(Air. Roberts) has been for years an out and out,
consis,en, locofoco, and the other (Mr. Sanborn)
has long been known as fshy wing, he having
been the chief agen; in giving wildcat council
to Gov. Crosby. These gentlemen are, therefore,
admirably adapted to PLAY the part OF organisis TO
the leit wing Of the locofoco party.
As TO the other recognized organ, the State OF
Maine, it is quite well known that that paper did
no, acl with the wing party as long as II was true
to its principles. And its editor, Mr.. Poor, TO show
his devotion TO anti.Nebrdska doctrine, cas-, his
vote last fall for SAMUEL WELLS, when he was
the Perez and Douglas candidate for Congress,
in opposition TO John NJ. Wood. The straight
wings, therefore, selected very appropriate expo.

PLANTATION INCIDENTS confuses ones
notions OF the " everlasting fitness ofthings'
amazingly, that tho uniform kindness OF tho
planters and slave-drivers of the South to.
wards their slaves should fail to secure a
corresponding return. Yet tho southern
papers tell us that Captain Baker, wealthy
planter Of Louisiana, who had settled on
the Colorado in Texas, to commence farming,
was killed by ono Of his own slaves on the
25th ult. And on the morning of the 18th
inst the dead body of William Waters,
overseer on the plantation Of Mrs E. A.
Flint Of Alexandria, La, was found floating
in the river, the unlucky ovcrseer having
first been murdered by some Of tho slaves
on tho plantation, and then thrown into
the water. IL is truo that the New Orleans
Crescent, from which we gather these par
ticulars, states that he had logged the no.
groes the day before but the supposition
that the aogging was in any other spirit
than that OF Christian kindness, or any way
unreasonable 10 measure. would be inconsis-
tent with the united testimony Of Rev. DR.
Adams and the southern newspapers. We
conclude, therefore, that ingratitnde, or in
scnsibility to kindness, is one Of the pre-
dominating ingredients in the Ethiopian
character.
