GoING Up AND Down STAIRS BY MACHINERY
In describing Paran, Stevens new hotel
in New York, the Journal of Commerce says:
A luxurious car or ladies' carriage is pro-
.vided, which will glide from the lower floor
to the uppermdst story, easily conveying
eight or ten-persons at "trip. This car is
propelled by steam, and n~sses up and down
upon revolving spiral shaft nearly 100 feet
long and about 10 inches in diameter; and
SO perfect is this invention that under no cir
cumstances is there a possibility of accident
Even should all the machinery above be re-
moved, the car cannot descend any faster
than usual, owing to an ingenious hydraulic
arrangement at the base; and independent
of this, the revolving shaft may be stopped
at pleasure by any person inside or outside
of the car. This is the invention of Mr..
Otis Taft, of Boston, and seems to be of great
value.

EDUCATION FOR WoMEN.-However novel it
may appear, I shall venture the assertion,
sthat, until women assume the place in. soci-
sety which good sense and good feeling alike
assign to them, human Improvement must
advance but feebly. 1t is in vain that we
would circumscribe the power of one half of
our race, and that half by far the most i'm
portant'and Influential. If they exert it not
for good, they will for evil, if they advance
not knowledge they will perpetuate ignor-
ance. Let women stand where they may in
the scale of Improvement, their position de-
.cides that of the race Are they cnliivated7
so. is society polished and enlightened
Are they ignorant?-so is it gross and in
sipid. Are they wise?-so is the human
condition. prosperous. Are they foolish p
so is it unstable and unpromising. Are they
free?-so is the human character elevated
Are they enslayed:- is the whole race
degraded. Oh! that we could learn the ad-
vantage of just practice and consistent prin-
ciples! that could understand, that every
departure from principle, how speciously so
.everit may appear to administer to our sell
fish interests, invariably saps their very
foundation! that.we.could learn that what
is ruinous to some is injurious to ALL and
that whenever we establish our own prcten-
sions upon the sacrificed rights of others.
we do in fact impeach our own liberties, and
lower ourselves in the scale of beingl

- AN ADVENTUROUS LADY-Mrs. Louisa Kay
: Kerr has gained much celebrity by her late
travels. She has, as we learn visited China,
the. East Indian Archipelago, Egypt and other
countries, and is now occupied with archa-
illogical studies and investigations relative
to the former history of the various Slavic
races. She is mber of the Asatic So
cieties of London and Paris; the Arehao-
logical Societies Of Great Britain, Palestine
and Athens; of the Societe Geographique
yof Paris; and of several other learned soci-
cites. 1t is understood that Mrs Kerr intends
again to visit Servia, with view of publish
ing at future period large work on the
subject of that country.
Mrs. Kerr is a native of Scotland, and
seems inclined to rival her countryman, the
= famous Bruce. She is at present residing
at Vienna.

MODEL WIvEs.-Some indignant feminine
writes as follows:
1t is enough to make US married women
sick toseethe nonsense that men putt into

quirements for wiYes-there is enough alb
surdlty uttered in one month to do for the
whole twelve months in the year.
Now, if men were angels, or demi-gods
there nigh. be some reason in their requiring
angels and goddesses for mates: but when it
is remarked what poor, imperfect, unrela-
BILE, unreasonable, unmeritorious set they
are, their "face" in setting up such claims
would be perfectly unaccountable, were it
not for the well known self-esteem of the
