THE ANDRE MoNUMENT-lf it is true AS
maintained by the detectives in New York,
that George Hendrix, who on Washington's
birthday, so barbarously deiaced the monu-
ment erected by Cyrus w. Fled near Tappan,
New York, to the memory of the unfortunate
Major Andre, has abscondcd to parts un-
known, his vandal spirit seems not to have
absconded with him, but tarrlcd behind in
the vicinity OF the monument; for on Friday
of last week the lllstarrcd shaft was
more than partially destroyed by dynamite.
Since the attempt upon it by Hendrix the
monument had been carefully guarded, yet In
some mysterious way dynamite cartridge
was deposited at its base and shortly after
midnight on Friday morning exploded with a
terrific report. The watchers fastened to the
spot and found the base completely shattered,
the shaft topping over to one side and badly
damaged. Not the slightest trace of the per

found

END OF JESSE JAMEs.--Jesse James, the no
tor,ous Missouri tram robber and outlaw
was shot dead on Sunday morning at st. Jo
seph, Mo. 1t will be remembered that tht
Governor of Missouri had offered reward Of
$50, 900 for the bandit, dead or alive, and il
was this reward that fetched him" For the
last few months, closely disguised he had Inv
ed quietly with his wife in a small cottage IN
the suburbs of st. Joseph, the cottage so stu
ated on elevated ground and isolated from 9th
er buildings as to render approach unaware
with the watch he kept, impossible. Yet two
young men, one aged 20 and the other "a
named Robert and Charles Ford, who had
formerly belonged to his gang and possessed
his entire confidence, resolved to earn the large
reward by comprising his death. To this end
they went to his home early on Sunday morn.
ing, and entering IT. while his back was
turned towards them, the younger of the Ford
boys shot him through the brain, so that he
died almost instantly The boys then gave
themselves up to magistrate declaring that
the man they had killed was Jesse James,
and claimed the reward, which, though the
deed was under the circumstances base and
treachcrous enough, they will doubtless re-
ceive. The wife, though for long time de-
nying 1t, finally admitted that the man killed
was Jesse James. Numerous trlnkets, such as
jewelry, watches, &C. that James was known
to have stolen, were found either on his per-
son or in the house, besides which Dick Little,
who tor years had been his companion, was
taken from the prison at Kansas city to St.
Joseph and fully identified James, naming
several marks on his person which, on exam
ination, were found to be accurately described.
Of course not only st. Joseph, but the whole
neighboring region, is intensely excited over
the matter, and feel some such relief as comes
from the unexpected removal of a great I'M.
pending danger.

IMMIGRATIoN.-The immigration for the
months of January, February and March this
year is said to be largely In excess even OF the
enormous arrivals during the same months
last year. AT Castle Garden alone the influx
reaches 6S6S5.
Meantime the railroads to the west are task
ed to their utmost to carry off the human
freight, and at Chicago and Milwaukee every
train Is crowded with people on their way 20
Minnesota and Dakota, to say nothing OF large
numbers that seek locations in Illinois, Wis
consln, &c. The pressure upon the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul road Is so great that
it is having 100 new cars built to meet the de-
mand. Railroad fares are cheap and claims
and pre.emptions abundant In Minnesota and
Dakota, to be had ON the easiest terms. Cities
are springng up like magic In the midst of
good farming country, settled by men who
know what they are about and have come to
stay. A Milwaukee railroad manager is re,

The movement among the populations OF
Europe was never so general as II Is now. Kus-
sia's Jewish population are prosecuted into
flight; the Irish must emigrate or starve; the
Welsh and English peasantry and miners are
becoming dissatisfied, and all who can obtain
the means will come out to America. There
never was time when the immigrant as
sociations of the United States were so well or
ganzed or had so much money at their com
