Who is Maiiame Pteitfer, and wliat is •he gJid£ round the woild again forf t^he is a Cennan lady, about fifty seven years old, said to be iateligent, wealthy, and accinplished, and to all tpperance perfectly sane on every subject except it be that of traveling, which she does entirely alone, aad on tb« lar gest scale. Her husband and two sons, one a gov ernment official and the other an artist, liv# in Germany. In 1816 she set out on a journey round the world. She went first to Brazil, attracted by its magnifi cient forests and flowers. Here she came very near being mur dered by a black ruffian, who undertook to rob her. She still showes the scars she received, but states with evident satisfaction that she cut off three of his fingers in self-defenca, when fortunately he'p came to her relief. She then em barked at Rio, doubled the Horn, visited Valparaiso, took passage in another vessel to Tahiti, and among other mem entoes of her sojourn there, Srought away Queen Tomare's autograph. From Tahiti she went to China, then to Calcutta, then ovt rland across Bridish India to Bombay, from there by steam to Uussorali and Bagdad, then with a caravan to Mosul and the ruins of Nine veh, whence she brought several pieces of sculpture, and thence lo Croomia, o! course with varied aJveutures. At nu merous places she was hospitably recei ved and entertained by the Protestant missionaries. She is herself a Catf.olic. From Oroomia she proceded to 'la brees, the it to I'iflis, and across the Cau casus, through European Russia to Qie nua,aud reach home after# tour of a little more than two years. As her stock of language is limited she is obligeJ much ol the time to depe nd upon sigus. One of her cardinal i rules is never lo betray fear, in whatever danger she may be, and another is to dress and live cheaply and economically, two precautions that have doubtless con duced largely to her safety. Madam Pfe lfer, in her land jourwys, took but a single horse her small trunk beiug hung on one side of him, her bed on the other, and she riding between. Her voyage round the world cost her somewhat less than $2,000. In IS")I she set out again, aad •pent two years in Australia and the East Indies. She then visited California and Oregon, thence through Ivuador she went to Panama and took steaine for New Oilcans, then up the .Mississippi to St. Pauls, and down the lake to Montreal, from whence she came to New Yoik^ She is now on her way through the Atlantic States, after which she will agatn turn homeward, thus completing her second journey round the earth. A description of her strange and multi farious adventures could not but enter taining. She fakes copious notes and observations, and will probbly, 'f she lives, embedy them in an elaborate work. A subordinate object of her travels is to gather flowers and insects, of whiih she has no.v an immense collection. She is already kno^n as the authoress of a work on Iceland and Palestine, 0»e fruit of her early journeying.

AUG. 2n, 1855. A BLACK IICAKTED VILLI*.— The Masous ot Chester, Illinois, have expell ed from their lodge one Dr Gordon, for infatrous conduct. The St Louis Herald gives the following particulars ol the oc curence. This Gordon graduated in one of the medical schools of this city, and removed to Chester with Dr. Ferris. He i has an amiable wife and several children, From some cause the son of Dr Ferris disliked Gordon and they remained ene mies until the death of Dr. Ferris. Gor don then made friends with young Fer ris, and became intimate with a 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 young girl but fail*, u ftaSThe following paragraph relative to the Davenport and Missouri Railroad we find "lying around loose,'' in our Chi cago exchanges, without rny credit, and therefore adopt it as our own and intro duce it among eur local items. We pre sume the road is finished ere this lime to Walcott, of which fact we contemplata to soon satisfy ourselves ocularly. "Messrs. Farnam and Durant, con tractors for the road from Davenport, lo* wa, to Council IMufls, are pushing on the work with great vigor. Iron sufficient to complete the road trom Davenport to Iowa city, about sixty miles, has already been sent forward, and the grading ol that portion as will as of much that is beyond Iowa City, »8 nearly ready for the superstructure. The road will, it is believed, lie in operation to Iowa City in December next. Contracts have been made for thirteen first class locomo'ive*, of which twelve are being built by- Messrs. Breeze & Kneeland of Jersey City. Dav. Gaz. Bill Larkms, who is what may be de nominated a srpeeinp sort of character, once shook hands with General Jackson. And,"said Bill, "I guv him a ol advise at the time, an' sez I, Gin'ral, we've elected ye, ai.d 1 hope you'll take care of the constitution.'1 Guess I'll try to,'' says he, "and I hope you'll take care of yours."

Ou Saturday night he had been bribed to keep pence, and retire to bed an hour earlier than usual, with the promise that on the morrow he might go with the family to church. On the morning it was found inconvenient to put the youngster through the regular course of washing and dressing necessa ry for his proper appears r.ce at the sanc tuary and the frmtly slipped off without him. They had not, however, more than got comfortably seated in their pew when in walked the youngster with nothing on but a niirht-wrapper and a cloth cap. •Yon forgot me," he said in a tone loud enough to be heard all over the chur-h.~ cent, over any previ- Blghop Whittingham, of Ma ryland, confirmed nine hundred aud filty the last year—more than twice the aver age number of previous years. The membership of the Episcopal church in Maryland has doubled in fifteen years. CSS* The problem of acquiring heat Without fuel appears to have been solved by the invention of the machine of M. Beaumont and Mayor, with which, by means of friction alone, they can make water boil. The machine, which may be seen at work at their establishment on the C|uai Valmy, contains 100 litres of water which is made to boil in two hours. A cone of wood, which turns in a cylin der, so as to produce the necessary fric tion, is covered with tow and the tow in order that it may not take fire is kept constantly moistened by a stream of oil winch runs on it. The heat gradually inc ejses until at last steam is genera ted.— Galigna i. r*l! rise. PRESSES, PutriTS TICOATS.—These are the great levers lhat govern the world. Without them the bottom would fall out and society would become chaos again. The press make people patriotic, the pulpit reli gious, but woman sway all things. There would be no going to church if there were no girls there, neither would there be any going to war were the soldiers to meet with n applause but from the mas calines. Without the sunshine shed by woman, the rosebud of affection would never grow, noT the flowers of eloquence germinate. In short, she is the steam en gine of life, the great motive p-wer of love, valor and civilization. In proof ol this truth all history apeaka trumpet tongued. A quiet exposition of truth has a better effet than a violent attack on error. Truth Ileligio^ at Home. "Let them learn first,, says Paul, to show piety at home." Religion begins in the family. That sort only shining a broad is a very suspicious son. One of the holiest sanctuaries on earth, is home. The family alatr is more venerable than any altej in the cathedral. The educa tion or the soul for eternity begins by the fireside- The principle of love which is to be carried through the universe is first unfolded in the family. A ing in his hellish desifti, he administered certain drugs, and then triumphed over her virtue. By threats of exposure he for ced her to continue the criminal connec tion, anl received frvn her, letters ack nowledging her guilt. A short time ago Ferris returned to Chester, and, thinking his betrothed still innocent, married her Gordon,who had never really forgiven Ferris the injuries of the past, placed a 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, but not meeting him, and reflect ing that his wife might be equally guilty he left the village, and has never returned. The excitement growing out of the affair was intense, and the masons piomptly expelled Gordon from the lodge. SfcUTA supposed diamond of an extra ordinary size has been recently found in Lancaster connty, Peun., and is now de posited in prof. Phillips* office, Philadel phia. It is colorless, perfectly crysta line,resembling a drop of clear spring wa ter, in the middle of which is observable a strong light playing with a great deal of spirit. I his specimen has rather a rough coat, but it is clear of Haws or veins, and no blemish can be seen in the body of the stone. The geological local ity where this beautiful specimen waa found is diluvial gravel, fragments of quartz or rolled pebbles of quartz, mixed with furriginous sands. Its accompany ing minerals are inicacious iron ore and slaty jaspt rs, and found to be a little be low the earth. This valley will undergo a thon-ugli senrch for more of its hidden treasures. The geologist does not pro nounce it to be of the first water althougl there is not the least doubt of its being of considerable value. Offers of import ance, it is said, have been declined for it. Nothing like it, U is supposed, was ever before discovered in the United Slates. MR. DODGE LODUCD A Mr. Dunn PALACE.— A Paris letter, under the date of 18ult, says that Mr. Dodye continues to be well received by people in Madrid, and they say he is about to toH'nv the Queen to Kscurial, lo reside during the stay ol the Court at that place.

WOMARS SIMIEE*.—Charles Dickens never wrote auything more beautiful and true than the following. 'The true woman, for whote ambition a husband's love and her children s ado ration are sufficient, who applies her mil itary institute to the dicipline or her household, and whose legislates exercise themselves in making laws for her nurse, whose iutellcct has field enough for her in coiumiini n with her husband, and whose heart askes no other honor ihan his love and admiration: a waman that does not think it a weakness to attend to her toilet, and does not disdain to be beautiful: who believes in the virtue of g'ossy hair and well- fitting gowns, an eschews rents and ravelled edges, slip slop seoes and audacious make-ups a woman who speaks low and dose not speak much who is patient and gentle, and intellectual and industrious who loves more than she reasons, and rarely argues, but adjusts with a smile such a woman is the wife we have all dreamed of once in our lives, and who is the moth er we still worship in the backward dis tance of the past, such a woman as this does tn- re for wou.aa's cause than al! the sea captain?, 1 nrristers, judges and mem bers of Parlimeut put together.-God given and God bletsed as she ii.

WELL DIITED TOST.—The following toast was given at Bidgeford, July 4th: "The Clergy All honor to the clcr mau who tollowa inatead ol i his Paymaster. dren—the world will beat them."* It was beautiful thought tohug no» elegantly expressed. Yes, there is not one chi'd in the circle around the halthlul ane happy as they look now, on wlios head, if long spared, the storm tfill not beat. Adver sity inay wither them sickness may fade, a cold world inay frown on them but amid all let memory carry them back to a home where the law of kindness reigned, where'the mother's and reproving eye moistened with a tear, and the fathei frowned "more in sorrow them anger.

THEFT or TIME.—The man who is diligent in his master's work no longor than when his eye is upon him—who only waits for his absence to slacken his industry, de erves not the character of an honest man. He certainly robs his master of his lime, and if he continues to indulge that idle disposition, will too probably be induced, when opportunity offers, to rob him of his prdperty. F. T. Travell. day that it is all very well to say, "never ping,-I shall waut a little change. 1 go to law," but what was a fellow to do when law rasne to him! Mi Browns observation was called forth by a oblong piece of paper, with which an officer had (axored him. There is a great deal ol force in Mr Brown's way of putting the question. There is a machine in tbe Paria exhi bition that makes two thousand cupa of coffee per. hour. More hearts pine away in seciet anguish, "for the want ol kindness ot those who sheuld be then coiulort, than for any other calamity in tile.

Be wise—for in gaining wisdom, extirDateslalso gain em nence, from which no of jealousy and malice can hurl you. When a man passes a day without re flection, ho may well exclaim at night, "1 icar that I have done something wrong. The ladies of Virginia ar«5 trying to raise S2Q0.000, by subs, nption. to pur chase the Mt Vernon estate.
