When ttpplo or jieartret

tacked by insects, which, if they are in
a healthy condition, would probably !

(a solution of potash), have Urn applied
with BiiccesK in destroying theso insects
and re'atoritiK the trees to health. l!ut
formr own practice wo lutvo for the
last two ynari applied n much simpler
remedy with much more success, as it
Cannes tlio old dead bark, the chosen
hiding-place of the insects, to cleave
cuT, leaving in its places smooth, healthy
surface. Thi is 'simply, nfter a raio,
and while the bark is yet wet. to throw
on some dry wood ni,he, until the ca
eity of retention is full. If rainsoo:!
follows, tho strength if the ashes in car
riihl into every erauny of the bark, and
the etfet is working clenulitiee on tin,
tree. If there i no rain, the nshe
will remain nud bo working their good
fUects, hihI be ready for action when
the rain eoines. The operation of sow
ing Mi the adi is e-mily pnd quickly
jietformed i so, if the tree is in a bud
condition, it is ensi! reisnted until the
insect are all destroyed and rt j.ew
healthy Imrk covet the t ice. To rem
e,ly existing evils sow on tho rndica U-.

In order t- bo by him, thp beds were

wife reached out her hand, grasped
her husband by the band, and held

The Stockton JlernM justly denounces
the conduct of Hop Sing Bee, the craven
ami despicable moral lejr who is tbe
servant of the Chinese Kmr-eror and
chief lackey to the Chinese Yice Consul
in this city, antl who ha bartered his
birthright of citizenship rss did the
more conspicuous similar traitor Btirlin
gatne, for golden profit. Tho Herald
remark : "Colonel Bee, Chinese' Con
sal at San Francisco, last Satorday
hoisted the Impeiial flag in honor of the
ilirmalion by the Siq-erior Court ot tbe
judgment of the Police Court in Kear
ney's case. The boUting of that flag on
such m occasion was a wanton and dar
ing insult to the American people, that
should U promptly and indignantly re
sented. Col. Bee deserves to be sent to
the House of Correction to keep Kear
ney eoiupsiiv during hi stay in thai in
stitution, and we bnr there taar be
found legal means of sending him their.
Heprotiabiy raised kbe flag with tbe
hojs' of provoking some act of violence
by Kearney'- followers. Happily be
failed in thi. But he should bo warned
by the authorities not to repeat tbe ex
jfi intent. Hi insolent action has al
ready to a great extent neutralized the
elTeet r f Kerney's conviction. It teuds
to nuke hiiu a sort of heroic martyr
rather than an ordinary convict, and has
done more in a single moment to popu
larize the Sand-lot agitation than Kear
ney and his associate radians could have
done in a year. If there are no legal
means of reaching the Consul and we
presume there are hone there should
le an expression of public indignation
that be will not soon forget- The law
I as leen jiroperly vindicated by tbe con
viction and 1'unii.Liinent of Kearney; but
the public j ace should not be again
endangeted by the flaunting of tbe
L !uece hag in triumph over bis convic
tion. The Administration at Washing
ton owes it to the people of this Coast
to revofcetb ejejuatur of Col. Bee, and

Mushy, the celebrated guerrilla chief
tain,' who is r.ow consul at Hong Kone,
China, does not stand well with tha ad
ministration at Washington. Tha
trouble is that one of the most coirupt
rings ever in existence waa in Hong
Kong, and tbe American minister to
Chins, and the consul whom Mosby re
lieved, were intetested in it AYken
the celebrated chieftain got there, he
went to work to loot out thete evils,
and during his service baa sent Imroe
over $1 1,000 of consular fee, something
unheard of in the history c-f that con
sulate la-fore. Yet all bis interest in
reforming existing evils has only result
ed in brincing down on bis Lead the
wrath td the owcrs that be. Writing
to a friend, be says the reasons ho has
not returned are these :
1. ,-I have lsren threatened with uis
luissa! f jr uncovering frauds out here,
and I want to give tbe administration
an optortiinity of carrying out tbeir
threat, ami thereby signalising their
zeal for civil-swvie reform by poach
ing the only man w ho baa tried to re
form it.

The condition of European croi-a in
dicate the probability of generally good
harvests and t hat the coming wheat crop
in the United States will probably equal
that of 1879. Judging from tbe aver
age of the last live good years in Eu
rope, the latter will require cf the Unit- '
ed States this year 52 million bushels
for absolute consumption, to say nothing
of what might be needed to replenish
reduced stocks, und we shall have a sn
plus of 133 millions for expoitw It
seems reasonable to estimate that- our.
present l ate of wheat production will be
found to exceed the demand for home
and foreign markets by about 100 mill
ion bushels. Under these circumstances
it becomes a grave question as to what
is to bo the result of the current largo
influx of immigrants at the wtst and
the early augmentation of "our grain,
acreage. An agricultural reaction in
that section seems almost inevitable.
