THE NUTMEG TREE.
Mr. Editor :— -1 send you Ihe follow
ing account of the Nutmeg Tree, in the
hope that it may interest some of your
readers. I was induced to draw it up in
consequence of hearing a very intelligent
lady of my acquaintance remark, a short
time since, that although she had tead
several descriptions of the different spice
bearing trees, none enabled her to figure
to herself the appearance of the Nutmeg
Tree. This, I have endeavored to do, as
far as mere description can effect.
It is only within the last half century
that this tree has been correctly describ
ed, although its fruit has been an object
of commerce, since the discovery of the
Moluccas Islands by the Portugees, in the
beginning of the sixteenth century. The
naval power of the Dutch, enabled them
to gain possession of these Islands, in the
early part of the succeeding century, and
with the monopolizing spirit which form
-1 ed a distinguishing feature of their com
, mercial character, they endeavored to
; confine the cultivation of clove and nuu j
: meg trees to their own plantations. The
principal of these were at Amboyna*, for
; cloves, and at Banda, for nutmegs, large
; sums of money being paid to the Chiefs of
I the adjacent Islands, for the privilege of
? destroying the trees growing in them. So
. well did their watchful jealousy succeed
, in preventing the propagations of these
r trees in o*ler places, that it was not until
i 1770, that their cultivation was attempted
i elsewhere. In that year M. Poivre, in
- tendant of the Isles of France and Hour
- bon, by great exertions, introduced them
3 into those Islands, and established a gar
d den for their cultivation at Montplaisir, in
, the Isle of France. In 1788, M. Cere,
e director of the garden, sent to M. La
i march, in Paris, well preserved branches
t of the nutmeg tree, in flower and in fruit,
e together with his own observations on the
- living tree, and a correct description of
d the tree was published, for the first time,
i, by that learned Professor, in the Mem
e oirs of the French Academy. From this
s Memoir, have been drawn many of the
descriptions published since that time,
i- The Nutmeg Tree is oneot the species
<1 of the genus Myristica, the Myristica
d *The bare mention of Amboyna must recall to
e mind the horrible cruelties inflicted upon the
English by the Dutch in 1622—tortures scarce
-> |p exceeded by those ol the Inquisition. Tiie
1- transaction must remain a lasting blot upon the
a, annals of that people.
J moschataf of the later wiiters. This
genus, with a few others from the Nut
] meg family, allied to the Laurel family,
j from which it was separated bythecelc
| bre ed R. Brown, in 1810. Several
, species of the genus Laurus, the principal
] one of the latter family, are natives of this
; Stale. One of these, the Red Bay ofthe
. low country, (the larger variety ofL.
| Carolinensts,) being perhaps the nearest
i congener ofthe nutmeg tree, indigenous
to this State, may. when in a soil most
i favorable toils growth, give some notion
of that tree in size, the form of its leaves
and flowers, &c.
The Nutmeg Tre‘6 is generally be
tween 20 and 30 feet in height, remarka
ble for the disposition of its branches in
whorls of four or five, two or tlnee feet
distant on the stern, and for the verdure
of its dense perennial foliage. The trunk
is straight, its bark is very smooth, red
dish, or brownish, externally, white and
juicy within. The wood is white, porous,
light, arid inodorous; The branches, co
vered with a green and shining bark, ex
tend nearly horizontally, with alternate
ramifications, forming a globular head.
The leaves are oval, lanceolate, without
sorratures on the margin, very smooth,
and beautifully green on the upper sur
face, pale green beneath. They are sup
ported by foot-stalks, half an inch in
length, and from the mid-rib of the leaf,
veins proceed towards the margin, paral
lel to each other, but obliquely with res
pect to the mid-rib. Tho leaves vary
Somewhat in form and size, on the same
tree, bui are usually from three to six
inches in length, and from one and a half
to three in breadth. The flowers, about
the size and color of our common sassa
fras, (another species of Laurust appear
in small clusters on the boughs, in the an
gle formed by the footstalks bf the leaves.
They are bell shaped, three-cleft, and
pendant from footstalks, several times
their length. The fruit, which comes to
maturity about nine months after the*
opening of the flower, is nearly spherical,
and about inches in diameter. It is
composed bf a single seed, enclosed in 3
envelopes. The first or outer, is of a
greenish white, about half an inch thick,
and fleshy; it contains astringent juice,
and when eaten* is usually in the form of
pieserves or marmalade. AS it comes to
maturity it dries, becomes yellow, coria
ceous, separates into two valves, and
permits the sccoiid envelope to be seen.
This is a reticulated, fleshy, fibrous sllb
stance, of a lively scarlet, or saffron co
lor. It becomes more brittle and yellow
as it dries, and is the well known mace of
c mimerce. Tho third envelope is brit
tle, liar J and blackish, and encloses the
seed, which is tho nutmeg. The sub
stance of the seed is firm, oilv, odorous,
anJ marked throughout its substance with
irregular branching veins. The germ*
small, white, and clothed with its seed
leaves, is concealed at the larger end of
the nuimeg, the end next the footstalk.
The Nutmeg Free begins to flower at
different ages in differed' varieties, use
ally from 10 to 8 years ofage, and bears
a constant succession of flowers and fruit.
The crops are gathered 3 times a year—
tiie first, which is the best, in April, the
second in August, and third in December.
When they are gathered, the outer coria
ceous covering is stripped off, the mace
carefully separated, and dried in the sun.
The nutmegs still enclosed in the third
envelope, are then dried by exposure to
heat and smoke for a month, after which,
the envelopes are broken, the nutmegs
are immersed fora certain time in a strdng
mixture of lime and salt in water, and are
then cleaned and packed for exportation.
This process is necessary for their pre
servation fiom mouldiness and putrefac
tion, and for the same reason, the mace
is sprinkled with salt water. As we re
ceive them, the surfaces of the nutmegs
evince their having undergone the' curihg
process.
The medical and culinary uses of mace
and nutmfcgs are well known. Their aro
matic properties reside in the essential oil
they contain. This is obtained either by
distillation or pressure, but from its nar
cotic qualities, should bo used internally
with caution. G.

INVASION OF THE TYROL.
The bravery and patriotism of the in
habitants of mountainous regions, are well
known. These qualities were perhaps
never more strikingly displayed, than by
the Tyrolese during the invasion of Aus.
tria in 1800 by Bonaparte. Lelebvre
entered the Tyrol with a large army,
when the following striking scene occur
red, which was related by an officer who
escaped the destruction which was the
lot of so many of his comrades.
We had penetrated to Inspruck with
out great resistance, and although much
was every where talked of about Tyro
lese, stationed on and around the Bren
ner, yet we gave little credit to it, think
ing the rebels hud been dispersed by a
short cannonade ; and we were already
considering ourselves as conquerors.
Our entrance into the passes of the Bten
r her was only opposed by a small corps,
, which continued falling back, after a
• smart resistance. Among others, 1 per
i ceived a man, fully eighty years old, post.
J ed against the side of a rock, and send
ing death among oar ranks with every
> shot. Upon the Bavarians descending
i , from behind to make him prisoner, he
shouted aloud, “Hurrah!” killed the first
» man, seized the second by the collar, and
e with the (jacnlation “ In the name of
* 1 God !” precipitated himself with him into
e the abyss below.
j Marching onwards, we heard a sou
s from the summit of a high rock, “Ste
- phen, shall 1 chop it off yet ?” to which a
, loud ‘No !' 5 replied from the opposite
side This was reported to the Duke of
I Danzic, who, notwithstanding, ordered us
1 to advance ; but, at the same time, he
s prudently withdrew from the centre to
i the roar. The van, consisting of 4000
. Bavarians, had just clambered up a deep
t ravine, when we again beard hallooed
> over our heads—“ Jn the name of the
t most holy Trinity <” Our terror was
i completed by the reply that immediately
i followed : “In the name of the most
holy Trinity, cut all loose above !” Ere
a minnte hud elapsed were thousands of j
my comrades in arms crushed, buried and
overwhelmed, by an incicdible heap of
broken rocks, stones and trees, hurled
down upon us from the top of the moun
tains. All of us were petrified. Every
one had fled ns he could ; but at that mo.
meut a shower of balls from The Tyro
lese, who now rushed from the surround
ing mountains in immense numbers, and
among them boys and girls of ton and
twelve years of age, killed or wounded a
great many of ns. It Was not till we
bad left these mountains six leagues be
hind tilS; that vve were re-assemb!ed by
the Duke, and formed into six columns.—
Soon after appeared the Tyrolese, head
ed by Hofer, the innkeeper. After a
short address from their chief, they gave a
general fire, flung their rifles aside, and
rushed upon our bayonets with only their
clenched fists. Nothing could withstand
their impetuosity. They darted at our
feet, pu-shed us down, pulled us down,
strangled ns, wrenched the arms from our
hands, and, like enraged lions, killed all
—French, Bavavrians, and Saxons, that
did not cry for quarter ! By doing so, I,
with 300 men, was spared^/and set at lib
erty.
EXTRAORDINARY FISH IN THE INDIAN
SEAS.
Mr. Piddington has sent to the Asiatic
Society of Bengal a notice of an extra
ordinary fish seen by him in the Indian
seas, which corroborates the account
given by Lieut Foley. He says, In 1
Dec. 1816, I commanded a small Span
ish brig, and was lying at anchor in the 1
bay of Mariveles, at the entrance of the i
bay of Manilla;—One day, about noon, 1
hearing a confusion upon deck, I ran up, ;
and, looking over the side, thought from J
what I saw that the vessel bad parted,
and was drifting over a bank cf white 1
sand or coral, with large black sprits. ‘
I called out to let go another anchor* *
but my people (Manilla men) all said, !
“ NO, sir—it’s only the chacon and, up- 1
on running up the rigging, I saw indeed
that I bad mistaken the motion of the i
spotted back of an enormous fish, passing 1
under the vessel, for tke vessel itself dri- 1
ving over a bank. '
My boatswain, (a Caciz man) with <
great foolhardinesss, jumped into the :
boat with four men, and actually succcc- *
ded in harpooning the fish, with the <
common dolphin harpoon, or grains, ns <
they are usually called, to which bo
made last the deep-sea line; but they *
were towed at such a fearful rate out to
sea that they were glad to cut from it 1
immediately. From the view I had ofthe <
fish, and the time it took to pass slowly f
under the vessel, 1 should not suppose it <
less than 70 or 80 feet in length. Its <
breadth was very great in proportion, 1
perhaps not less than thirty feet. 1
The back was so spotted that, had it 1
been at rest, it must have been taken for
a coral reef, the appearance of which
is familiar to seamen. I did not distin
guish the head or fins well, from being
rather short-sighted, and there being
some confusion on board.” Mr. Pid
dington was induced to collect a variety
of particulars respecting these monsters,
whicli seem to leave no doubt of the exis
tence of large fish, of which no scientific
description has yet been given —Asiatic
Journal.
DECAPITATION.
A correspondent of an English journal
has been furnishing some important facts
upon the subject of beheading criminals.
The following extracts will be found very
interesting:
“ Mojou, professor of physiology at
Genoa, having produced at Paris a system
of investigation ol the results of tiie gui
llotine, states, that having exposed two
heads, a quarter of an hour after decapi
tafiori, to a strong light, the eyelids clo
sed su idenly. The tongue, which pro
traded from the lips, being pricked with
a needle, was drawn back into the mouth,
and the countenance expressed sudden
pain. The head of a criminal named
Tillier, being submitted to examination
after the guillotine, the head turned in
every direction from whence it was cal.
led by name. A report hitherto treated
as fabulous, may therefore be believed, —
that when the executioner gave a blow
on the face to Charlotte Corday’s head,
the countenance expressed violent indig.
nation. Fontcnelle asserts, that he has
frequently seen the heads of guillotined
, persons move their lips; and bis memoirs
contain many other apparently incredible,
but equally well autheniicated facts.
• Sivelrng declares, that by touching the
, spinal marrow, the most horrible demon
i strations of agony succeed.
* * * * * *
• A young and beautiful Vendean hero
ine, who had thrown herself upon the
i protection of General Marceau, was, with
j himself, for (affording her that protec.
? tion,) condemned to death. He had sav
t ed the life of one who in turn saved his :
J “mais les larmes de Marceau ne purent
f sauver la jeune infortunee de la lureurdes
a juges, qui etaient dignes de servir un
maitre tel que Robespierre. * * *
Ces juges firent arruoher la belle Yen
- I deene de i’asile ou Marceau Pavait ca
i chee.” “Condemned,” the account goes
; on to say, “at the age of seventeen to die,
she confided her poi trait to a friend, to
i offer to the warrior,whose pity and whose
features were too deeply engraven on her
heart. On going to execution, she pla
ced between her lips an artificial rose,
with which, one day, the hand of Marceau
had ornamented her beauliful hair. The
executioner showed her head after it was
cut off, when the frightened people be
lieved she vomited blood ; but it was the
rose, which yet the animated mouth
clenched with gnashings of the teeth,
( grincernens ,) in the convulsions of death.
This horrible image ever pursued the
hero, and when he recalled it, grief sus
pended his recital, and be shed burning
tears of indignation.” But besides these
instances of life, passions, and conscious
ness, in the human head when severed
from the body, and either experimented
upon, or displayed to the multitude, the
bereaved trunk has been known to start
upright with the board to which it was
strapped, and even to walk some steps on
the scaffold.”
The Cliff Swallow is not, we believe, a
regular summer sojourner in those parts.
His visits are believed to be only occa
s onal—few and fur between. At any
rate, we are informed that he has no re
gular haunts. The farm that he glad
dens ihi£ year, may riot be again cheered
by his presence for many coming sea
sons. We have an excellent anecdote
to tell of a pair of these interesting birds.
It was related to us, if not by an eyewit
ness. by One wiio received it from an un
doubted source; These birds, ns do near
ly all the birds of this latitude, lake their
departure hence with the summer, for
warmer skies. Several years since, a
large number of them had their nests up- ,
on a barn in the south part of Deerfield. <
At the usual period their northern dwel- 1
lings were abandoned, and the tFibe took
its flight fur the tropics. After a time a ,
solitary individual was observed lingering <
among tho forsaken habitations, \ari- !
ous conjectures were started to account 1
for bis tarrying. It might be, that be had
not strength enough for so distant an ex- I
pedition; or be might have been accid; n 1
tally left behind in the general migration, |
and feared to encounter the perils of the {
journey alone. The autumn passed a- ,
way, and still that solitary stranger re
mained, braving the frosts and the pelting 1
ofthe storms of winter. Spring came, 1
arid }'et he was there. An occurrence so (
singular, and contrary to the habits of the i
nfgruting tribi s, caused bis motions to be 1
watched with more attention. At length 1
another head was observed, protruded ,
from one of the nests, which seemed to i
be the particular abode of the bird, which ’
had been remarked with so much inter- 1
est. On examining that nest, the my- j
stery was beautifully solved.—Another t
swallow wa§ found there a prisoner. One
of its legs had become entangled by a '
thread or horse hair, which had been 1
used in the lining of the nest, and held it
there a captivb. Yet it was not descl’ted
by its faithful mate. Through all tho •
long and dreary winter, his patient, self- £
devoting love, Supplied her wants. He
saw, without regret but for his hopeless
consort, the deepening gloom of the fa
ding year ; he felt, without feeling, hut \
for her, the advancing rigor of winter;
and if he, at times, remembered the sun- ]
ny skies of the South, and the pleasure f
his tribe were there enjoying, it was only ®
to sigli that she could not partake them.
By night and by day, in sunshine and in ,
cloud, in the calm and in the tempest, he I
was with her, ministering to her wants, c
and cheering the hours of her hopeless ‘
captivity by bis caresses, and untiring J
devotion; Now do you suppose that t
the vulture is capable of such heroic con- s
stancy, and generous self-sacrifice ? Or j
did you ever hear any thing like this au- (
thenticated of the featherless vulture— i
the “ animal biped implumeV ’ Instinct >
is a wonderful thing, and perhaps the no- 1
blest characteristics of humanity are no- '
thing more than instincts. But what is ,
instinct? is an inquiry—not to be pursu
ed at the tail of a story about swallows.
