Visit to the Dead Sea and the
RIVER JORDAN,
Jerusalem is generally made the head
quarters of travellers during their sojourn
in the central district of Palestine, and from
this point they visit those places Which are
so intimately connected with the ministry of
our Lord. Upon this occasion We shall pay
a visit to the Dead Sea and the fiver Jor
dan. Leaving Jerusalem about two o'clock
in the afternoon by the Jeff& Gate, equipped
for this journey through the district where
the traveller was liable in •ancient days to
fall amongst thieves—and at the present day
is equally in danger of the same molesta
tion—we made rather a formidable.appearl
ance. Two Janisaries proceeded armed
with pistols, swords and other demonstra
tions of a belligerent nature, and their staves
of office accompanied by the Sheick Ham
dam (the recognized protector of travellers
cm the western side of the Jordon) and some
of his followers.
When Mehemet Ali had Syria under his
control, there was no necessity for an escort
in the wildest districts; but, alas, times and
governments have changed sadly for the
'worse, and the choice now lies between
making an arrangement for a protective es
cort, or finding yourself at the mercy of the
robbers of this wilderness, and having to ac
cede to their dictation when you cannot help
yourself. We chose the former course, and
would advise, all travellers to do the same
if they would return to Jerusalem clad as
they left it upon their jaunt, for travellers
have been known to be left in the &sort
without horses or provisions, and with only
such clothing as Nature has provided them
with. Hamdam, our guide, might perhaps
have been chosen from his very colossal di
mensions. He was a remarkably fine spe
cimen of the Soils of Anak—standing bead
and shoulders higher than his companions.
Proceeding over the rocky ground south of
Jerusalem for neatly two hours we came
suddenly upon the valley of the Kid ron, but
hoUr altered was it in its general features.
When we left it, in the neighborhood of
Jerusalem, it was an insignificant dry bed
of a rivulet of
,the smallest dimensions, but
now it had become so gigantic in its general
appearance, that standing upon its brink and
looking down into the abyss belowcaused a
shudder to the boldest Ironic. The scenery
around us from being' barren, for want of
culture, has now become sterile and desert
like in appearance, and the roadway (if such
a term can be applied to the gozio track along
which we were now tracing our way) was
becoming more rough and unpromising eve
cry step we progressed. At length, inking
a sudden turn round a mass or mountain of
rock, we came suddenly upon the romanti
cally situated Convent of Mar Saba [St. Sa
ba.] The Convent, in its bold masses and
'rregular outline, is only surpassed by the
Vt ' ernes3 of the scenery. The wild chor
ncte of the country seems to have produced
a feeling in the mind, of the original desian
ers of the Convent to outdo nature in her
boldest flight ; for in the massy rocks and the
natural fortifications ef this mountain glen.
nature. has apparently inverted her usual
order leaving large masses of projectiog
mountain overhanging the chasm' and on
these the builders of this most extraordina
ry Convent have perched their bold habita
tions.
Situated 'in the most desert part of Judea,
it was obviously necessary to make a ford
fitation sufficiently strong to withstand the
attacks of robbers from without, and to exer
cise all due precaution in admitting visitors
of all kinds. I had procured a Tescary (or
letter of introduction,) from the Greek Con
vent in Jerusalem before my departure.
Upon arriving at the door of the convent,
we were interrogated by the brethren of the
House from a small window aloft, who let
ting down a chord, requested us to attach
our Tescary to the end of it. After duly ex
amining this epistle, they told us we should
be admitted. In a few 'ninnies we heard
the bars, bolts and locks of the doorway be
ing
. drawn back, and the gate, grating upon
its rusty 'hinges, opened sufficiently wide to
admit us one by one, in single file. The
last muleteer having entered, the door was
again secured, and passing. through various
passages, up and down various flights of
steps, I found myself in the reception Divan.
The change was so sudden and unexpected
that it appeared like a dream, or me of•
those changes so beautifully described in
"the Arabian Nights," that we had to leek
again and rub our eyes to be certain that it
was a reality. The magician's wand seem
ed to have wrought such a wonderful change.
From the heart of the desert we •were sud
denly ushered into a room furnished in tru
ly Oriental manner, carpeted in a costly way
the Divan round the room was of rich ma
terial, and the cushions were covered with
genuine damask, and stuffed with the soft-
est down. The chief seat was apportioned
to the Onsool, (consul)—pipes, with splen
did amber mouth-pieces, and filled with the
finest "Jebal," were introduced, together
with coffee, sherbet of rose, and lemon arak ;
and here we were bid to take our ease till
the dinner should be . in readiness. The
rough roads we had passed over, and the
heat of the day, had told somewhat upon
our wonted energy, and we very gladly
availed ourselves of this Oriental Elysium.
In about two hours the .dinner was in readi
ness, and served up in true Eastern style.
The brethren did not partake of it with us,
(it happening to be' one of the feasts of their
church.) Some of them, however, waited
upon us, and seemed anxious that we should
forget the ample desert without in the en
joyment of the ample desert within the
Convent, and'we most willingly consented
to this oblivion for the time being. After - .
our repast we were shown over the various
buildings forming this very irregular and
massive structure. I do not think there are
two rooms of the same size, and scarcely
two upon the • same level. The chapel of
the Convent is, however, the main feature ;
it is not very large and is decorated in the
Greek stYle 'and presents a very. rich ap-.
pgarance. : The monks spend a large por
tied cif dick time within its walls at their
devotions. Thi weather being exceeding:-
ly warm 1 had my bed spread out upon one
of the terraces, where I endeavored to sleep,
but with no great amount of success. The
howling of the wolves, the barking of jack
ails and foxes, and the constant noise caus
ed by the wild beasts of this district kept me
awake till the morning, and then the priests
at their earl• orisons carried me back to the
time when the Prophet on Mount Carmel
told the worshippers of Baal to call unceas
ingly upon their God ; and when from morn
ing till evening they shouted "0 Baal hear
us, 0 Ball hear us," so these Priests of Mar
Saba seemed during their prayers to keep
up a continual invocation of the Saint after
whom the Convent is named: On the mor
row, leaving the Convent betimes, we pro
ceeded on our way towards the Dead Sea.
I Wild Woinan
We know not but our reputation for ve
racity may suffer by the following statement,
but as we have been laying off for the last
two years to give it, we think there is no
use of tVaiting any longer. It will require
some creduality to believe the story ; but we
can assure the reader that what we shall
state could be established by the testimony
of some of the oldest and most respectable
citizens of our neighboring counties of Jack
son, &c.
For the last ten years-there has lived and
inhabited the thickets of the Navidad bot
toms in Jackson county, an animal univer
sally believed to be a woman ; and though
dilligent search has frequently been made,
not a living soul has ever been able to see
it ; though on one occasion, several years
ago, a party driving cows through the bot
tom camp, so close upon its camp or den,
as to compel it to drop a kind of basket or
trunk, which upon examination, was found
to be a perfect curiosity, containing a most
astonishing variety of little trinkets, such as
pins, needles, knives, brushes, and several
articles, whose uses were entirely unknown,
and all of the most ingenious and exquisite
workutauship,• and also a small pocket Bi
ble, with "New York" written in it in a
small beautiful hand writing, together with
two guns, one of which it had stocked—
having stolen an old gun barrel from the
settlements.
The principal reason for believing it to
be a woman, arises from its track, which
has often been seen, and which resembles
exactly that of a small and delicate female.
It frequently visits the neighboring houses
at nights for the purpose of picking up such
articles as it can lay hands on—clothing
particularly, of which it is supposed, from
the quantity missing from time to time, it
has enough to set up a respectable milliner
ry shop and clothing store.
About a year ago, it went in the house of
Samuel A. Rogers ; • when he was abSent,
opened his medicine chest, took a portion of
all the medicines in it, carefully putting back
the stoppers, and c'omtnitting no.other dam
age besides that of taking several articles of
clothing, which after going Co the edge of
the bottom, it appears to have sorted out—
and left such articles hanging upon a stick
as it did not seem to require. It also came
to Mr. !lager's place recently and brought
back a wooden bowl taken about a year
Since, and•a ttace chain that had been miss
ing for eight years. These are but a tithe
of the many eccentricities of the man,
woman or animal; but they serve as a spe
chnen.
So sure are the people on the Navidad
that it is a wild human being, that we un
derstand a reward of forty cows and calves
has been offered to any one who would cap
ture it. It is supposed by some that there
was once a man and woman, but that the
man had died. How true this conjecture is,
we cannot say; but there can hardly be a
doubt but a wild man or woman has inhabi
ted the Navidad Mustang bottoms, nearTex
ana, for many years. It cannot be a negro,
male or female, because the track forbids the
conclusion. We incline to think it a Mex.-
ictm woman.
Important invention.
We had the pleasure a few days since of
examining models of proposed improvements
in railways, and in the construction .of loco
motives and cars. We cannot but think that
the improvements to which we allude will
stand the test of experiment, and answer the
purposes for which they were intended, if
so, a new and most important period will have
arrived in this age of iron and steam.
First, a railroad may be laid down over the
ordinary undulations of the earth like a turn - pike road, and engines and cars can be so
constructed that they can g o over it with
safety. To accomplish this object the inven
tion enables. the engineer by mechanical
means to supply any• degree of adhesion
which may be required at any it - Mont, and
to dispense, with it the moment he ceases to
need it. And to do this there are no rack rails
or cog-wheels, or centre-rail ; nor is there, by
this plan, as much resistance to the progress
of the train as would be caused by adding
weight to the engine, in order to produce the
requisite adhesion.
By this invention, it is made an alMost
impossible matter for the cars to be thrown
fron the track, it is therefore invaluable, for
it admits of light engines for light frights a
great desideratum, certainly, for our south
ern railroads, extending through sparsely
settled districts, while it does not prohibit
the use of the most powerful engines, when
they are necessary.
The effective power of an engine now is
limited to the adhesion ofits wheels. By the
plan proposed, the adhesion is supplied by
the engineer in any required quantity; and
consequently thepower of the engine is only
limited by its capacity to generate and re
tain steam. Hence it is difficult to say what
grade may not readily ho surthounted. And
when we remember that steam coaches
weighing only two or three tons have convey
ed at a good speed from twenty to thirty
passengers over the common and rough roads
Of England,readilyascending and descending
the steepest hills, we cannot thirds Otherwise
time that this invention Will multiply id it
great degree our means of intercommunica-
tion, and bind together more closely our ex
tented confederacy ; while the saving in the
expense of construction and in thevear and
tear of roads and machinery will be greatly
reduced.
The prolific mind of the gentleman who
has made this invention, (James &French,
Esq ; of Virginia) has also produced another
of scarce less importance. It is of a brake,
perfectly simple in its construction, and
perfectly new in its application, by which
the engine and its train-of cars may be stopp
ed almost instantly by the engineer 'alone.
The ablest engineers have for a long time
endeavored to effect this result, moved and
stimulated thereto by the frequent and fatal
collisions which have happened on the best
conducted roads. But they have not as yet
succeeded; for they have been unable to
devise any plan by which the engine and its
cars could be promptly arrested by the engi
neer alone.
We have not attempted to explain the
means by which such desirable results are
proposed to be accomplished, as it is. proper
that-those who are interested should choose
their own time and mode of making them
public.
Homestead Exemption in Ohio
A Homestead Exemption bill was intro
duced into the Ohio Senate, a few days ago,
by Dr. Dimmock, which provides that, from
the passage of-this act, it shall be lawful for
any resident of Ohio, being a head of a fam
ily, to purchase and set apart, as a Home
stead, a tract of land not exceeding one hun
dred and sixty acres, and the buildings there
on—the whole not to exceed in value one
thousand dollars ; or, in lieu of a tract of land,
a house and lot in any recorded town plat,
or city, or village, not exceeding one thousand
dollars. He may hold the same for the ex
clusive benefit of hiMself and family, exempt
from execution or sale, except for the pur
chase money of the same. The exemption
is not to extend to a mortgage on the same,
but the mortgage is not to be considered val
id unless signed by the wife, or, in case of
her death, by all the children of the inort
gager.
If the head of a family is not the owner
of a homestead, or other real estate, he may
select and. hold front execution and sale, an
amotwt of goods and thanks not exceeding
in value one thousand dollars. It was re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee, says a
Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati
Chronicle, who reported it back with two
slight amendments, with a recommendation
to recommit the bill to a Committee of the
whole Senate, there to be matured and pass
ed in such a form as would meet the 'views
members. It was so recommitted: and made
the special order for • to-morrow, 27th ult.,
and I have no doubt but in somewhat a mod
ified form from its original, will pass both
Houses and become a law.
Large and Small Farms Compared,
Most young farmers are• unsuccessful,
simply because their farms are too
r large,
and the complaint is often heard that am
money can be made at farming. Take up
the directory of ten years since, and mark
the names of all the merchants then doing
business in New-York ; follow these names
through the directories of subsequent years,
and see if over one in twenty have continued
to do business for ten consecutive years
without failing. This is a sorry fact, and
arises from the fault of the merchants them
selves. In agricultural language, "they
turn to heavy a sward, mat do not lay it
regular." So with the insuccessful farm
er; he has too much land.; he cannot man
ure it properly, and his labor bestowed - on
unmanured land is not effective. Land ful
ly manured, and thoroughly cultivated, will
produce double the amount of crops• that
can be obtained from half manured land.
Land well manured is more easily worked.
Its particles more readily disintegrate, and
large cropsodo not require expensive labor in
proportion to results.
