Nutmeg Tree in California.

The California Chronicle gives the fol-
lowing description of nutmeg tree dis
covered in that section of California
eve were recently shown, by Mr.. John
Hansen, branch taken from tree of the
nutmeg species, containing a cluster of
the fruit to the number of seven. The
tree from which these nuts were taken
was discovered sometime since by man
engaged in working on the Mokelumne
Hill fiume, about fifteen miles distant.
There are two trees standing near each
other, very nearly of the same size (; sup
posed to be thirty feet in height, and the
trunk two feet in diameter. In appear
ance they closely resemble trees in the
torrid zone, shooting up in single stem a
distance of twenty feet before giving off
any branches. The leaves are of the most
beautiful deep green on the upper side,
lighter on the under, are narrow, about
two or three inches in length, and arranged
alternately upon foot stalks from foot
to foot and half in length. 1t is adiffi
cult matter to determine by what chance
these trees should, in the first place, have
found their way so far from their native
cline; and most strange it is, how they
survive the frosts of this; for it has ever
been supposed that they are indigenous
to the torrid zone. The nutmegs of COM
merce are procured from the East India
Islands, principally from the Molucca
group. When mature, they are subjected
to method of curation, whereby they
are deprived of the power of terminating
As they are easily propagated from the
seed, persons having gardens and grounds
will be well rewarded by procuring the
fruit as SOON as it is matured, and treating
it in the same manner as the peach, or any
other nursery seeds"

LAWRENCE, KANSAS. OCTOBER l, 1859


A series of experimental trials have
been carried on during the past fortnight
at Portsmouth, with view of ascertain
ing the amount of resistance offered by
iron and steel plates of various manufac-
lures when opposed to heavy ordnance at
short range. The trials are understood
to have reference to the future coating of
the steam ram now in progress of con-
struction. The practice has been carried
on from the Stork gunboat, tender to her
Majesty's ship Excellent, gunnery ship in
Portsmouth harbor, both from 32 pound
er and 30 cwt. gun, the latter throwing
a solid 68 ID. shot, with 16 lb. charge of
powder; the distance of range, 200 yards.
At this distance the results of the expert
ments have demonstrated in the clearest
possible manner that no iron or steel plate
that has yet been manufactured can with
stand the solid shot from the 95 cwt. gun
at short range. The first shot would
not penetrate through the iron plate, but
it would fracture it, and on three or four
striking the plate in the same place, or in
the immediate neighborhood, it would be
smashed to pieces. AS the results of the
trial affected the steel plates, it proved
that steel.clothed ship could be far more
easily destroyed than wooden-sided one,
and that on the smashing in of one of the
steel plates, the destruction of life on the
armed ships decks, supposiug the broken
plate to be driven through the ships side,
would be something dreadful to contem-
plate, from the spread of the splintered
material. At from six hundred to eight
hundred yards, IRON clothed ships would
be in comparative safety from the effects
of an enemy's broadside, but it must be
borne in mind that the effects of concen-
trated firing have yet to be ascertained
on the sides of an iron or steel clothed
ship, and account also must be taken of
the damage the wood work forming the
inner sides of such ship would receive
from the driving in of the broken plates,
and which, as far as the present expert
ments have illustrated, would appear to
prove that an iron or steel-clad ship, on
receiving a concentrated broadside from
a, ,frigate, armed in a similar manner to
the Mersey, and struck near her waterline,
must sink then and there, with her armor
on her back.

The New French whsslbarrov.

The new wheelbarrow, which is worked
by the men employed to repair the dam
age occasioned by the tetes in the gardens
of the Tuilleries, is attracting much atten-
ton. The novelty Of the machine con-
sists in the two legs of the barrow being
replaced by two wheels, smaller than the
one in 'front.' and which are fixed imme-
diately under the body of the barrow.
The handles are raised so as to be on 6
level with the hands of the workman
and thus, upon level road, a slight pust
is all that is necessary for the transport o.
the heaviest load. The three wheels be
ing almost close together, the act of turn
ing the barrow in the smallest space be
comes as easy as possible. The workman
has but to lean on one of the handles, ant
the front wheel is lifted from the ground
leaving the barrow free to be maneuyre,
like common hand-cart.

Folly Of Pride,

Take some quiet, sober moment of life,
and add together the two ideas of pride
and man behold him, creature of span,
stalking through infinite space in all the
grandeur of littleness. Perched on a
speck of the universe, every wind Of
heaven strikes into his blood the GOODNESS
of death; his soul floats from his body
like melody from the string; day and
night, as dust on the wheel, he is rolled
along the heavens, through labyrinth OF
worlds, and all the creations of God are
flaming above and beneath. Is this a
creature to make for himself a crown Of
glory, to deny his own flesh, to mock at
his fellow, sprung from the dust to which
both will soon return? Does the proud
man not err? Does he not suffer Doe:
he not die When he reasons, is he new.
er stopped by difficulties When he
acts, is he never tempted by pleasure
When he lives, is he free from pain
When he dies, can he escape the common
grave? Pride is not the heritage of man
humility should dwell with frailty, and
atone for ignorance, error and imperfec
tion.-Sydney Smith.

rhe rranstirura,ion Of M.morr.


In Mrs. Stoves new novel of "The Min
ister's Wooing," the following beautiful
passage occurs:
"As there was an hour when the fish
ermen of Galilee saw their Master trans
figured, his raiment white and glistening,
and his face like the light, so there are
hours when our whole mortal life stands
forth in celestial radiance. From our
daily lot falls off every weed of care, from
our heart-friends every speck and stain Of
earthly infrmity. Our horizon widens,
aud blue, aud amethyst, and gold touch
every object. Absent friends and friends
gone on the last journey stand once more
together, bright with an immortal glow,
and, like the disciples who saw their mas
ter floating in the clouds above them, we
say, Lord, it is good to be here p How
fair the wife, the husband, the absent
mother, the gray-hsired father, the manly
son, the bright-eyed daughter! Seen il
the actual present. all have some fault
some tiaw; but absent, we see them il
their permanent and better selves. o
our distant home We remember not darl
day, not one servile care, nothing but th,
echo of its holy hymns and the radianc,
of its bright days-of our father, not ON,
hasty word, but only the fullness of hi
manly vigor and noble tenderness of on
mother, nothing of mortal weakness, bu
q gloriiel form of love; of our brother
not one teasing, provoking word of broth
erly freedom, but the proud beauty of hi
noblest hours; ofour sister, our chile, onl
what is fairest and sweetest"
