Ia the sennte on the 4th immediately after reception of tbe president' message vetoing the anti-Chinese bill, the presi dent pro tern suspended operation of business to lay the communication before the senate, and directed it to be read. Reeding of the message wa listened to with marked interest by the senate. The vital objection of the president is to the twenty year' 8ujenion of immigration, wnieh he construe a virtually prohibi tory, and therefore a violation of the spirit, if not the letter of negotiations on which tbe treaty was based, and as a breach of national faith. The message call attention to the proposition ni&de by the U. S. commissioner on this point, and a counter prop i tion on tbe part of China to show that the understanding of the latter country concerning tbe agreement ultimately made was carefully guarded. W ithout naming any specno period of suspension, the president sug gest the length of term should lie ex perimental. The message and bill were temporarily laid on the table and ordered firinted. The president said Chinese abor bad been of great value iu this country, and that monument ot their industry existed. They had largely built the Pacific railroad across the continent, but it might be wisely considered now whether limitation may be put on immi gration of this labor. But if there be too much of it in one section of the coun try the same labor may be needed in another section, and the law should con sider this matter and make such limita tion a would permit this lalor to go where needed. Immigration aliouM be limited or restricted to a reasonable per iod. The president then point out other feature of the act which in bis opinion can be modified to advantage. The vs tem of personal registration aud pass port is specificUly mentioned as undem ocratic and hostile to our constitn'ion, and he allude to the omi&sioa of an act to make anv provision for transit to China of Chinese subjects now settling in foreign couutrie. to which subject, the president adds, his attention had been railed by the Chiuese minister. Tbe nieNige referred to alleged benefit to industry derived to the Pacific slope bv tho presence of Chinese heretofore, and expresses apprehension of the injnr ious effect upon American commerce with Ctiint-' legislation of the character of that proposed by the United States. A Kansai City dispatch of April Sd states that tbe notorious outlaw, Jesse Jues, was shot and instantly killed at St. Joe by R. Ford, of Richmond county. Jesse, it apears, had been living in that city since the Nil of IaM November under the aaafe of Thos. Howard. Robert Ford, the slayer of James, aud his brother Charles, had been shadowing Jesse James for many months past, fol lowing him from place to place, their purpose being to kill him the first op oortunitr that orlorded. but never suc ceeded in finding him unarmed until this morning. The bovs went to fet. Joe about a week ago. Previous to this they had ingratiated themselves into tho con fidence of James, claiming they were robber and horse thievea. For once Jesse was caught nspptn;, and he seems to have believed all the tores to'.d bim. The Fords immediately upon their ar rival in St. Joe went to the house at the corner of lJt'th and Lafavette streets, where Jesse was living, and remained there uutil the tragedy occurred. This afternoon Jesse aud Ford were talking together and Jesse had just laid bis pis tols on the table for a moment when Ford nulled out bis revolver aud shot Jesse. The bill entered the heal behind the left ear and passed out over the fore head, death U-ing instantaneous. The identity of the robber i beyond question. He perfectly answer the description heretofore given of Jesse James, and the assassin described bim tverfevtly, even to marks ou his person. Even tlie clothes were removed from the body. Jesse James wife wa living here with bim at the time. Sue says it is Jesv, and tells the story of their nx-ent movemeut in detail. In Mat a vear ago they located in Kansas City, where they resided until November last, when thev removed to St. Joe. Since they arrived in St. Joseph they bav lived iu thne different place. Mr. Jame is a handsome brunette, about thirty-six years of age. She was handsomely dressed, and eetned, to feel Jesse's death keenly. On JeWa peraon were found a heavy plain cold ring marked "Jesse." two gold watches, one a stem winder engraved "A. S. B.," which is supitosed to have been taken from a former governor at the Sweet Spriucs robbery. The other watch is a key winder and wa taken, together with a solitaire tin.;, at the time of the rob bery of the Mammoth Cave line in Ken tucky a few yer ago. There were also found a set' of jet sta.is and a lady's coral breastpin. Jesse's arms consisted of a 45 caliber Smith & Wesson levolver, a 43 caliber Cslt revolver, a Winel.ester rule and a double-barreled shotgun. The Ford boy claim that they had no obj-s't in view bnt to obutin the reward offered by the state government for Jesse Jatues, dead or alive. They recently h4 two intert iws with him at the St. Juhs hotil iu Kansas C.ty.

KanJ&ll in tended the following grandiloquent let ter to he read at Uie meeting of the Massachusetts Democratio Stite Com-, mittee iu l)o:on on Washington' birth day, but it did not get there in time. "A dinner in Boston with my frieuds," be wrote, "is one cf the first joys of my political life, but when, in adOition. it is tised for the SBd of February to express devotion to the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy, it almost becomes a duty. Bat the trust reposed in me as a repre sentative of the people compell me to remain here. Jefferson was the migL'y pen of our revolutionary' period and Washington the victorious sword. The truths grandly written In the declaration of independence by the one, anl which have aroused the world till freedom Las been naturalized in every clime, were upheld and wide tri umphant by the military genius of iho other. How truly it has been said: 'To be the tirt man not the dic tator not the Sylla, but the Washington or Aristidea the leader in talent and truth is next to Divinity. There have been warrior who would have let the world sink in misery aud grief. Not so Leonidas and Washington, whose every battle-field is holy ground, which breathes of cations saved, not worlds un done. To keep alive the remembrance of the virtues and deed of Washington and Jefferson is to secure tbe future of freedom. It w ill serve with each suc ceeding generation to render weak and successless the insidious attempts to steal away the people's rights and pre pare the way for seltish power and arro gant tyrrany. Thomas Mifllin, of Penn sylvania, President of Congress, ia ac cepting Washington's resignation of bis commission as Commander-in-Chief, paid the highest enconium when be said: "You have conducted the military con test with wisdom and fortitude, invaria blv regarding tho right of civil power through all disaster and changes." Of Thomas Jefferson we know that, having served for over 40 years in the highest offices of honor and trnst urier the State aud Federal Government he retired at last with hand a clean as they were empty." Trtatuieat Of App Trees. E. IV Towell. of Smith' Mills, Ky., writes to the Louisville Farmers' Home Journal, as follows: We want all the means we can devise to rid our orchards of the Bat headed borer and codling moth, aud while the birds are a creat help, and tbe stra b tnds.etc.do.l have found the following not onlv a aet-beck to the incres.se of the peets.but a wonder! ul help to Uee as fer tilizers: F-arly in spring when tree are wet (damp weather), I take a hard' stick and commence bishop on trees auJ rub all the dead lark otf , sad then wash the tree with a compound of grease, soft oai aud a little coal oil: tli raius and dew take it tff by fall.

Notwithstanding so much has been learned of these interesting insect with in a few years past, the many failures and severe losses that occur every win ter admonish us that there are many things that are unknown. Sometime the honeyseaaon is such that they do not lay np the necessary stores. At others the winter are so long aud severe that the vitality of th4 bees is exhausted. Some winters destroy the swarms in the sud den changes from cold to warm weather. or from a t:me taut precipitate moisture on the combs to one of intense cold.
