The AIIspice Tree.

The pimento, or allspice. tree is cul-
dvated In the West Indies and Jamai-
ca. This beautiful tree usually grows
to a height Of about thirty feet. 1t
has a straight trunk, much branched
above and covered with a very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary In size
and shape, but are always Of a dark,
shining green color. During the months
of July and August the tree Is In full
bloom, the blossoms consisting of very
fragrant small white flowers. In IA
vorable seasons the pimento crop is
enormous, q single tree often yielding
a hundred or more pounds Of the dried
spice. The berries are picked while
green, because If left on the tree until
ripe they lose their pungent taste and
are valueless. The green berries are
exposed to the sun for a week or ten
days, when they lose their green color
and turn a reddish brown When per
fectly dry they are put I'm bags and
casks Tor expectation. The odor and
the taste of the pimento berries are
thought to resemble a combination OF
those Of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves;
hence the familiar name "allspice."

A Queer Fact About Vision.

In the eye itself certain things may
20 on which give us wrong sensations,
which, although not truly illusions, are
very much like them. Thus when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against something In the dark we see
"stars," or bright sparks, which we
know are not real lights, though they
Ire quite as bright and sparkling as II
they were. When we close one eye and
look straight ahead at some word or
letter In the middle Of this page, for
example, we seem to see not only the
thing we are looking at. but every
thing else Immediately about it and
for a long way or each side But the
truth Is there Is a large round spot
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking In which we see nothing.
Curiously enough, the existence OF this
blind spot was not discovered by acct
dent, and nobody ever suspected 1t
until Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction Of the eyeball that It must
exist and proceeded to find It.

American Troops. both parties SEEM
ed TO be satisfied as they resumed the
fighting with renewed energy. TAX
ing great care not to let any shells
strike near the United States consu-
late.
At daylight General Heron sent
over a sufficient number Of wagons
to move Mr.. Pierce, his family and
the property from the consulate and
at z A. NJ. they were safely landed
on the Texas side.
The fight was carried on until
shortly after ~ o'clock when Ruiz
retreated, and his forces scattered.
There were about fifty men killed
and one hundred wounded on both
Sides. and the writer distinctly re-
members seeing several of the bod
les lying in the street about two
blocks north Of the then consulate.
Among the killed in this battle was
Ex-Governor Albina Lopez, a very
prominent Ruiz man. Lopez had been
held in very high esteem by the peo-
pie of Mexico and had managed to
win the confidence of both the Con-
federates and the Federal troops of
the United States by his impartial
manner in dealing with fugitives who
sought refuge in Mexico.
Gov. Ruiz had about 500 men and
4 pieces of artillery. Col. Cortina
had about 600 men and 6 pieces Of
artillery. Considerable damage was
done with the artillery. in some in
stances walls being shattered and in
one particular case a three inch shell
being embedded in the casing of the
door frome in what was then known
as the Tarnava House. During the
fighting the town was filled with
lawless bands and plunderers who re-
spected no one.
Immediately after the battle Col.
Cortina announced himself as Gov
ernor of the State of Tamaulipas,
while Governor Ruiz and a number
of his officers escaped and crossed
to the Texas side.
While the fighting was going on
the English and a number OF foreign
ers sought refuge in the American
Consulate.
Gen. Herron's act was approved by
both Governments.

Affairs of January 2, 1854.

IN Affairs of January z, 1854.
On tn night Of January 18th, 1864.
just after supper, and while Gen.
Heron and the officers of his staff
were enjoying their Havanas on the
porch of what is known as the Wood
house building on Washington ST.,
in this city at a few minutes past
s o'clock, their ears were startled
by rapid cannonading and musketry
firing in the direction of the City of
Matamoros.
The inhabitants of Matamoros and
Brownsville had become accustomed
to military government and to the
frequent discharge of musketry in and
around the cities, but seldom at such
an unusual hour. The firing contin-
ued without cessation and was soon
heard emanating from all parts of
Matamoros.
At 10 o'clock Gen. Frances j.
Heron, commanding the United
States forces at Brownsville, receiv-
ed a communication from Leonard
Pierce, Jr., United States Consul at
Matamoros, in which he reported that
a battle was then raging in the
streets of Matamoros between the
forces of Gov. Manual Ruiz and Col.
Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, that the
Consul's family was in great danger
as the road between the consulate
and the ferry directly opposite
Brownsville was infested with rob-
bers; that the Consul had about one
million dollars in specie and a large
amount of other valable property un-
der his charge in the consulate, which
specie and property had been left
with him as the American repre-
sentative, by refugees, both FEEDER
al and Confederate, who had at var
ious times arrived in Matamoros in
their efforts to avoid capture by the
representative opposing parties, and
who, as a rule, were non-combatants;
and that fearing the City would be
plundered, he earnestly requested
that Gen. Heron should send over
a sufficient force to protect him, his
family and the property and to trans
port the specie to within the limits
of the United States at the earliest
possible moment.
Gen. Heron Immediately issued or
ders for Col. Henry Betram of the
goth Wis. Infy. to report to him, but
before the officer had arrived the
General received by special courier
IA letter of which the following is
a copy:
Matamoros, Jan. Il, 1864. 10 Pm.
Maj.-Gen. F. J. Heron,
Sir: The forces commanded by Col.
Cortina have attacked my POSITION in
Ithis place. AS this town is very ex-
tensive, | cannot protect all nor guar
antee the United States consulate,
and the large property of Ameri-
can citizens Of different nations liv-
ing in this town. For this reason 7
shall endeavor to repulse the enemy
and ask you the favor to send some
troops over to guard and protect the
said property, which it is impossible
for me to protect. ask you General.
to take this application Of mine in
high consideration and to admit my
profound respects.

Governor Of Tamaulipas.
General Heron Immediately dis
patched Col. Black OF the 37th H.,
Infy. to the United States Consulate,
SO as to investigate affairs and to in
form him, and hearing from him also
that the road was infested with
robbers, who were taking advantage
of the fighting to rob and murder,
ard that the family of the Consul
could not get away without a guard
and that the legal governor, recog-
nized by Pres. Juarez, had officially
asked for such protection, deeming IL
not inconsistent with his authority.
and for the purpose OF moving Mr..
Pierce and family AMI The property
to the Texas side. Immediately sent
Col. Betram with 40 mer TO take
charge Of the Terry and with four
companies of his Infantry to the Con-
~sulate, instructing him not to inter-
fere with the fighting. Heron i'm
mediately notified both Ruiz and
Cortina, the contending forces, that
he vas sending the troops over for
the sole purpose Of protecting the
Consulate and property therein stor-
ed, and that his troops would not
in any way interfere with the fight
ing. nor commit any hostile acts.
Col. Betram wrote back from the
consulate at 1870 p. M. that he had
arrived there safely. At 2 A. M. Gen.
Heron instructed Betram to remain
there until all danger were past. At
.11:30 p. M. Col. Bertam wrote that
he had given Lieut.. Col. Laughlin
orders not to allow anything TO be
done by the United States soldiers
which might be continued into a vio-
lation of Gen. Herron's orders.
Governor Ruiz and Col. Cortina's
men both sent messengers to the
Consul to know what the invasion
meant, although they stopped fight
ing long enough to receive a reply,
