The Nereid.
The following just and appropriate
notice of “The Nereid” by the Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens will be highly
appreciated by the talented author
and her numerous friends:
THE NEREID.
This is a highly entertaining Nov-
ellette, by a Georgia Lady, under the
nom de plume of Mary Faith Floyd.
It is published in neat form by J. W.
Burke & Co., of Macon, in this State.
Price 50 cents.
Mary Faith Floyd is already exten
sively known to all readers in litera
ry circles—in the Southern States at
least—as one of the most classical
writers of the times.
Heretofore her chief essays have
been directed to Reviews and critical
notices of the productions of ethers.
It is in this field she has, by her good
taste and just discrimination, attained
that merited distinction which she
enjoys.
The Nereid, we believe, is her first
attempt at anything in the form of a
Book of her own. In it she has ex
hibited all her peculiarities of purity
of style and chasteness ot diction, ac
companied with the most ennobling
thoughts and sentiments.
The general scope and design of
this book may also be very clearly un
derstood, from the first lines ot the
Preface. In these she informs the
public that the author’s object was to
present “a picture of life on the At
lantic seaboard of the Southern Uni
ted States,” anterior to the late war.

Portland, Oregon,
April 25, 1S72.
Mr. Editor: Soon after writing my
last letter to the Federal Union, i
went to “Frisco” on steamship Helen
W. Almy. We had a speedy and
prosperous journey, and I enjoyed the
magnificent view at the entrance
through the Golden Gate (Point Lo-
box); and thegroup of rocks about 300
yards distant fs vpry picturesque.
This projecting cliff overhanging the
sea, has upon its summit a handsome
hotel called Cliff House, and crowds of
visitors go there for recreation. It is
reached bv a macadamized road called
Point Lobos Avenue, which boasts a
width of two hundred feet. This
point is six miles from San Francisco,
and is the fashionable drive from the
city. Daily may be seen throngs of
gay pleasure-seekers dashing along the
avenue in fine phaetons, or upon pranc
ing steeds: gentlemen accompanied
by fair ladies in many-hued “Dolly
Vardens” of intricate cut and symmet
rical proportions. Not man alone as
serts his claim to enjoyment here ;
sportive seals and sea-lions frolic
among the group of rocks opposite
Cliff House; and they are guarded
against the destructive agency of fire
arms by protecting laws. I saw this
point from the sea, and afterward had
the pleasure of driving thither with a
friend—but alas! not a young lady
friend. Perhaps it was well, for you
know 7 , Mr. Editor, how prone a fellow
is to grow sentimental and silly in the
presence of the sweet creatures—es
pecially if the reigning one is pretty
and modest. Ah! I detest “ fast”
women ! The very idea of them blots
out all the glory of the eex. Excuse
the digression. I could not help it.
“Frisco,” called so by the inhabi
tants “ tor short,” is the queen city
of the “far west”—the grand com
mercial metropolis of the Pacific coast.
It is situated on the western shore ot
San Francisco Bay. It stands on a
sloping plain about a half mile wide,
girt behind by a semi-cordon of hills.
The streets are regular and cross at
right angles ; and along the bay stand
from the drudgery busiress. Here
too, we sharp-sighted young men often
catch glimpses of the fair girls, and
strive desperately to display our agili
ty in callisthenic feats.
The girls here dress in stripes of
the very latest style known as a la zebra
the successor to the charming fiorai
Miss “ Dolly Varden.” So you see
these Oregonion girls are ahead of the
fashions in the old Atlantic States

pictures under the apparent “nom de
plume," as we have said, of Mary Fuith
Floyd, yet there is, after all, not much
fiction in this; for we believe it is
generally known that the writer is
Mrs. Mary Faith Floyd McAdoo,
the wife of Col. \V. G. McAdoo, who
is himself not unknown in the “re
public of letters.”
Mary Faith Floyd is the full maiden
name of the author of “The Nereid.”
She is a regular descendant of those
Floyds on the sea coast of Georgia
who have for nearly a century so sig
nally illustrated the character of the
State in the field of Art, as well as in
the arena of Arms. A. H. S

“I had a dream which was not all a
dream.” I dreamed that the spirits
of Virgilius Cincinnatus and a host of
old fossils asked me what “I knew
about farming,” mistaking me I sup
pose for Horace Greeley, and being
anxious to show the wonderful pro
gress we had made I launched forth
nothing abashed and anxious to sus
tain that illustrious gentleman’s repu
tation, into a long dissertion, subdivi
ding my subject into preparation of
land, which I asserted should be bro
ken from 12 to 14 inches deep and
that oxen should be substituted in
place of expensive mules for that
purpose particularly in tenacious soils.
Secondly. Cultivation, which should
be deep in the early stages of plants
and diminish as they approach the
fruiting point, and tiiat brood mares
should be substituted for the non-pro
ductive mules for this purpose.
Thirdly, That oats, rye and barley
should be substituted for the expen
sive, wasteful corn crop which requires
so much cultivation, and that in our
latitude they should be sown from the
20th of August to the 20th of Sep
tember to prevent rust. I could see
they began to think me crazv, but
wluit 1 asserted with assured confi
dence that every plantation should
cultivate from 20 to 50 acres in Ber
muda grass, there was a rattling of
dry bones and a voice sad but very
decided said I was a old fool
and I awoke and came to the conclu
sion that a prophet was not without
honor save in his own country.
Keep the Heart Alive.—The
longer I live, the more expedient I
find it to endeavor more aud more to
extend my sympathies and affections.
The natural tendency of advancing
years is to narrow aud contract these
feelings. I do not mean that I wish
to form a new friendship every day ;
to increase my circle ot intimates—
these are very different affairs. But
I find that it conduces to my mental
health and happiness to find out all l
can which is amiable and lovable in
those I come in contact with, and to
make the most of it. It may fall very
short of what I was once wont to
dream of; it may not supply the place
of what I have known, felt and tasted ;
but it is better than nothing. It seems
to keep the feelings and affections in
exercise; it keeps the heart alive in
its humanity ; and, till we shall be all
spiritual, this is alike our duty and
our interest.— The Moravian.
How many toil on, disquiet, and
harass themselves, as if desperately
struggling against poverty, at the same

wharves. The wholesale merchants
do a fine business in the front part of
the city near the bay. It had been
some time since 1 last visited this
place, aiid 1 went sight-seeing every
where. Montgomery street is a hand
some thoroughfare, and there are some
magnificent dwellings on Stockton
and Dupont streets. I visited the
Musical Fund Hall, a splendid build
ing ; and the magnificent Metropoli
tan Theatre. The city is supplied

It is curious to reflect upon the
wonderful strides San Francisco has
made toward its present greatness. It
was first settled by the Spaniards in
1778. The place was then called
Yerba Buena, or “ good herb” from a
medicinal herb of that name growing
plentifully on the surrounding hills
The pioneer houses were built of
adobes, or sun-dried bricks. It was
laid out in a town in 1S39, and in 1845
hud about 150 inhabitants. In the
course of the two ensuing year* its re
ported gold attractions led thither ad
venturers who swelled the population
to 500. In 1S47 gold was discovered
at Sutter’s settlement, and this certain
news spread to the four quarters of the
globe. In 1850 San Francisco became
a city, and lias since been steadily in
creasing; and in 1S70 the population
was 149, 482. Time wili not allow a
description of all the interesting ob
jects in the Pacific queen city, and I
will close with a few items more re
lating to tills city.
On a walk a few days since I ob
served the first lilac of the season
blooming in the rear of the Court
house. This is early for the lilacs, as
as May is their season. We hope it is
the harbinger of the reign of Spring at
an early day.
Since last writing, we have had a
succession of pic-nics. The Odd-fel
lows intend to have the most elegant
display of the season ; and St. Tam
many’s Day is to be celebrated by an
Excursion aud a mammoth pic-uic. I
hope to go: I shall go.
Quite an excitement occurred here
about a Swedish diver who was suffo
cated in his submarine armor. This
man had been a successful diver for
several years, and had gone down to
explore the wreck of the Resolute, in
Willamelte river. He remained among
the machinery an hour or more, and
upon coming to the surface reported
the state of the engine. The second
trip promised well for an hour, when
the signals ceasing, fears were enter
tained of some accident. A crowd
collected, and an attempt was made to
draw the diving bell to the surface.
This was found impossible and prepar
ations were made tor another diver to
go down, when the rope from below
grew slack and the unfortunate Swede
was brought up lifeless. Everything
was done to resuscitate the body, but
life had fled, doubtless from a stop
page of atmosphere through the sup
ply-tube. Iu short, the poer fellow
died “ for the want of breath.”
Our churches and seminaries of

Present Condition of The City.
A private letter from an American i
Jerusalem, under date of March 22, gives
this acconnt of the present condition of
he Holy City,
Jerusalem, once “the joy of the whole
world,” has fallen low ; it is Jerusalem,
hut not “the City of the great King.”
It is a poor place, with narrow, crooked
lanes or streets, badly paved, damp and
filthy. The people are poor, and there
is no trade or commerce, as it is in the
midst of a barren land, and remote from
the line of the world’s business. How
he people live is a mystery. The city
is walled entirely around, and as the walls
are in good condition, from its external
appearance from all points, one would ex
pect a rich and beautiful town within.
Beggars in rags meet one on all sides,
damoring for "barksheesli,” aud lepers
sit by the wayside exhibiting a picture
only to be seen to be realized.
Frequently during my sojourn hero of
seven week, have I ascended the Mount
of Olives, and sitting under the olive tree,
contemplated the great events in the past
history of Jerusalem, and endeavored to
realize that when the Saviour was upon
earth and when he also walked the same
roads that I now walk, and gazed upon
the same natural scenes; and as I look
down upon the city, I think of the words
of Christ, while also looking from the
same mount. “Not one stone shall re
main upon another;” and how true! Noth
ing now remains of that Jerusalem hut the
site, now the modern Jerusalem. Often I
have entered the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, on Calvary, and there silently
mused. The painful minuteness of detail
in which holy places are marked out and
and shown as identical, detracts greatly
from one’s enjoyment. I believe the
church, or buildings on Calvary, occupy
the very rock, but 1 do not believe in the
identity of spots to a fraction. While
standing by the rock which is marked as
the very place where stood the cross, I
believe one is within a few feet of the
place,-which is quite sufficient. And as
to the Sepulchre in a small marble build
ing in the centre of a rotunda, above the
floor I do not believe in it, and yet am of
faith that it is over the tomb hewn in the
orck The tomb now shown is a plain mar
hie sarcophagus, much like a bath-tub,
this does not appear much like a tomb
hew in the rock.
There is nothing to be seen of the rock
of Calvary, being all covered with build
ings and marble floors, except that portion
where the cross was elevated., (which is
some fifteen feet higher than the tomb,)
and this is only seen through a small open
ing, and also the rent, caused, as said, by
the earthquake at the crucificfion. Pil
grims are now gathering here for Faster.
Russians, Persians, Armenians, Greeks.
&c., &c., and they present a unique pic
ture iu their curious costumes. They
daily enter the Church of the Holy Sep«
ulchre, and kiss every old stone from the
entrance throughout, firm in their belief of
every place identified. It is an interest-
r scene long to be remetnbered-
I hare been around the city without the
walls many times, as also upon them, and
either has its interest. Three times have I
beeu within the Mosque of Omar, on Mount
Morriah, the site of Solomon’s Temple.
The mosque, being the second holy place
of Mahometanism, is_ much out of repair

Harare Greeley.
For the past twenty years no name has
been more familiar to the American peo
ple than that of Horace Greeley, who, as
editor of the New York Tribune, was as
well known in the South and West as in
the North and East. Sir. Greeley is of
1 risii descent—his grandfather having been
a native of Ireland—and was born on the
3d of February, 1811, in Amherst, N. H
His parents were poor, but respectable in
in their sphere. After assisting his father
in farming for three or four years, Mr.
Greeley was apprenticed to a printer in
East Palteny, Vermont, and from that
time forth he commenced his career as a
compositor at the case, and subsequently
as editor. For ten years after his arrival
in New York (August, 1S31) he worked
as a journeyman printer and journalist.
He was engaged in a great many journal
istic enterprises, some of which were suc
cessful during their existence, whale the
majority failed. Among these were the
Morning Post, the Few Yorker, the Jeffr
sonian, and the Log Cabin. In 1836 he
mariied to a Mms Cheney, of Norrh Can
tina. He was a VV big while the A big partj
survived, and when the republican a-
rose he attached h'mself to that party, with
which he has since acted. The New York
Tribune was started by Mr. Greeley iu
April 1841. In 1S4S Mr. Greeley was
elected to Congress for the short term.
He visited Eurrfpe in 1S51, and was cbo
sen chairman of one of those juries at the
World’s Fair. In 1860, at the Republican
Convention which nominated Mr. Lincoln
for President, Mr. Greeley defeated the
nomination for that position of ex-Secre
tary Seward, against whom and Thurlow
Weed he had an old grudge. Mr. Gree
ley’s course for the last ten years—du
ring and siuce the war—is familiar to all,
and does not need recapitulation.

Drilled Corn for Forage.
I have had a great deal of experi
ence with corn as forage for stock,
whether for feeding green as it is cut
from day to day, or cured and stacked
away as we do fodder. I have tried
the broadcast sowing, raising heavy
crops of green blades, and found that
though its bulk is considerable, its
quality as food is very indifferent.—
Sown in drills about as thick as hunch
beans are sown, leaving plenty of room
between the drills for ligfit and air to
penetrate, and cultivated, so as to
keep down the grass and weeds, I do
not know a much better forage plant,
provided it be cut at the proper time,
that is, not before it has bloomed.
If the corn be intended iofeed green
to stock during the summer—for
“soiling” as the technical term is—it
is necessary to make several plantings,
so as to have a succession of forage at
the proper state of ripeness during the
season* Iu this way cows may be
kept in full milk and in good condi
tion when the pastures begin to fail in
the extreme hot weather-
But if it be intended to raise forage
to cure and stow away in the barn or
loft, one sowing in drills will answer :
and the earlier this is done the better,
so that the forage may be fit to cut
when the dry, hot weather will be
most favorable for rapid and uninter
rupted curing of stalks and blades.—
The stalks contain the greatest amount
of nutritive matter, and the blades are
in the best condition when the flowers
are passing away and the ear is begin
ning to form. And for this reason the
sowing must not be too thick, because
and greatly uegleeted, as also the surroun- j H deprived of air and light the stalks
ding grounds, an interesting comment up
on the religion of that people as to sacred
places. The vaults or extensive arches
uuder the plaiforn on the south side, are
exceedingly interesting, and supposed to
be of the time of bolomou.
I have twice explored the extensive
quarries under Jerusalem, which bear
marks of quarrying as distinct as though
of yesterday. They extend probably to
the temple, and no doubt were used for the
great temple of 1,000 B. C. They are
difficult of exploring, as one has in many
places to crawl on hands and feet I
have been to Jericho, and bathed in Jor
dan, as well as the dead Sea, in which I
was borne up like a cork. Have visited
Bethany, Bethlehem, and Hebron, where
Abraham was buried, also the pools
of Solomon, &c., &c., and in fact every
place of interest hereabouts, and next week
start oveiland for the Sea of Galilee, Naz
areth, &c., &c., to Beyrout, and again to
Damascus, where I am in hopes of join
ing a paity for Palmyra, and on my return
will go to Smyrna, Constantinople, &c.,
&c., and thence to Greece, Albania, Mon
tenegro, &c.
The weather is beautiful in Palestine;
flowers are in bloom, and all nature is in
its most georgeous array, where tiiere is
an opportunity ot being »o. Under the
Turkish Government everything is left to
decay, and nothing is repaired or renew
ed, consequently lias a neglected appear

Make the Most of Home.—Let the
front part of the house be thrown open
and the most convenient, agreeable aud
pleasant room in it be selected as the
family room. Let its doors be ever open,
and when the work of the kitchen is com
pleted, let mother and daughter be found
there, with their appropriate work. Let
it be consecrated to neatness, purity, and
truth. Let no hat ever be seen ou the
head of its owner ; let no coatlees individ
ual be permitted to enter it. If father’s
head is bald —and some there are in that
predicament—his daughter will be proud
to see bis temples covered by the neat
and graceful silken cap that her hands
have fashioned for him. If the coat he
wears by day is too heavy for the eve~
uing, calicoes are cheap and so is cotton
wadding. A lew shillings put into that
daughter’s hand will insure him the most
comfortable wrapper in the world; and
if his boots are hard and the nails cut
mother’s carpet, a bushel of wheat once
in three years will keep him in slippers
of the easiest kiud. Let that table which
has always stood under the looking-glass
against the wall, be wheeled into the
room, its leaves raised, aud plenty of use
ful—not ornamental—books and periodi
cals be laid upon it. When evening
comes, bring on the lights, and plenty
of them, tor sons and daughters, all who
will come and be most willing students.
They will read, they will learn, they
will discuss the subjects of their studies
with each other, and parents will often
be qnite as much instructed as their
children.
will not contain those elements which
lorrn the ear, and will consequently
lack nutritious power.
In saving corn fodder I have found
the following the best way : I gather
in botli arms, taking them by the tons,
as many stalks as I can hold, and tie
them together to a central stalk, then
cut them off near the ground, except
the one to which they are tied, and
let them stand thus in the row. In
this way the ground does not touch
the blade, the air passes freely through
the bundles, which are not liable to
fall dowD, and the action ot the snn is
equal over all. In case of wet weath
er, too, the water runs off easily, the
blades do not absorb it as when tied
iu bundles and thrown on the ground
to dry, and when the sun comes out,
dry readily, leaving no mildew or mold.
I have followed this plan for several
years, and have never failed to save
my corn forage, of which I raise a con
siderable quautity every year.

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
For all the purposes of a Laxativo
Medicine.
Perhaps no one medi
cine is so universally re
quired by everybody as
a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universal
ly adopted into nse, in
every country and among
ail classes, as this mild
but efficient purgative
Pitt. The obvious rev
son is, that it is a more re
liable and far more effec
tual remedy than any
other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does always
— that it never fails through any fault or neglectof
its composition. We have thousands upon thou
sands of certificates of their remarkable cures of the
following complaints, but such cures are known in
every neighborhood, and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages aud conditions in all climates;
containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their nse in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action — remove the obstructions of the
stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring tlieir irregular action to health, ami
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pill, rapidly cure: —
For Dyspspiia or Indigestion, Lfitleu-
lsn, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, illlious Headache, Nick Headache,
Jaundice or Careen Nickness, Bilious
Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should Ire ju
diciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased
action or remove the obstructions which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism. Goat, 6ravel. Palpi
tation of the Heart, Bain in the Side,
Buck and Loins, they should be continuously
taken, as required, to ohaugo the diseased action of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For Bropsy and Dropsical Swellings they
should lie taken iu large and frequent doses to pro
duce the effet of a drastic, purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels int > healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a dose
of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing aud renovating effect on the diges
tive apparatus.

No one remedy is louder
called for by the necessities
of the American people than *
a sure and safe cure for
Fever and Agne. Such
we are now enabled to offer,
with a perfect certainty that
it will eradicate the disease, and with assur
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleftxl distemper. Tills “ Cure ” expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Agrnn
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first •
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro
duces-no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it arc left as healthy as if they had never
inui the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the con
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Menralgia, Rheuma
tism, Don*, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection
of the Spleen, Hysterica, Pain in tha
Bowels. Colic, Paralysis, and derange
ment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. This
“CURE” expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. It is
an invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malarious districts. If taken occasion
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Henco it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; aud few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the LiTer into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
Where other medicines foil.
