The President, in a recent conversation
on the subject of the Hawaiian Island af-

facts should be known, and which are
briefly as follows: This Government had
sent United States vessel to the Hawaiian
Islands to bring the King to San Francisco,
he having expressed a desire to travel
through the country, and thence go to Eu-
rope for the benefit of his health. About
the time the vessel arrived at Honolulu the
King died. This intelligence having
been received by our Government, the
commander of the Pacific squadron
was instructed to send vessel to the
islands in addition to the one already there,
simplyto protect the rights of American
citizens in case of emergency, and to see
that other nations should take no undue ad-
vantages under the new government. Gen.
Schofield sailed on this vessel merely for the
benefit of his health.

Miscellaneous Reading.
A HOME PICTURE.

THE sun that brief December DAY,
Rose cherries over hills OF gray,
And, darkly circled, gave at noon
A sadder light than waning 1,; moon; s1v
Slow travelling down the thlckenlng SKY
It's mute and Ominous prophecy,
A potent seeming less than threat,
Itsank from sight before it act.
A chill no coat however stout
OF hOmespun stuff, could quite shut out,
A hard, dull bitterness of cold,
That checked, mid vein, the circling race
OF lifebood in the sharpened face,
The coming of the snow-storm told
The wind blew east; we heard the roar
OF ocean on his wintry shore.
And felt the strong pulse throbbing there
Beat with low rythm our inland air,
Meanwhile we did cur nightly chores
Brought in the wood from out OF doors,
Uttered the stalls, and from the moWs
Raked down the herdsgrass for the cows;
Heard the horse whinnying for his corn;
And, sharply clashing horn on horn,
Impatient down the stanchion rows
The cattle shake their walnut bows;
While, peering from his early perch,
Upon the scaffold's pole of birch,
The cock his crested helmet bent,
And down his querulous challenge SENT
Tnwarmed by any sunset light.
The gray day darkened into night
A night made hoary with the swarm
And whirl-dance of the binding storm,
AS zgzig wavering to and FRO,
Cros5 5ed and recrOssed the winged snow;
And ere'the early bedtime came
The white drift piled the window-frame,
And through the glass the clothes-llne posts
Looked in like tall and sheeted ghosts.
So all night long. the storm roared on;
The morning broke without sun;
In tiny spherule traced with lines
OF Natures geometric signs,
In starry flake and pellice,
All day the hoary meteor fell
And when the second morning shone,
We looked upon q world unknown,
Or nothing could we call our own.
Around the glistening wonder bent
The blue walls of the armament,
No cloud above, no earth below
A universe of sky and snow!
The old familiar sights OF ours
Took marvellous shapes; strange domes and to1
ers
Rose up where sty or corn-crib stood,
Or garden wall or belt of wood;
A smooth white mound the brush plle-shoWed,
A fenceIess drift that once was road;
The bridle-pOst an old man sat,
With loOse-fung coat and high cooked nat;
The weil-curb had la Chinese roof;
And even the long sweep, high aloof,
In its slant splendOr seemed to tell
or Pisas leaning miraclel
From Wbittie3'S SnOaO-B -Boatf,d.

PROBATE JURISDICTION IN UTAH.

A case involving the question Of the
jurisdiction of Probate Courts in Grimm
al cases is thus stated by the Beaver En-
terpise:
On Thursday next the power Of the
Probate Court in cases Of civil and Grim
inal jurisdiction will be put to the test
and orally argued by Messrs. Beale,
Brown and Holly against and Judge
VIM. Lowell for the law in present ope-
ration. The argument comes up in the
case of Mr.. Stone, defendant, accused of
and tried for larceny at st. George,
Uouthern Utah, before Judge Snow, of
the Probate Court Of the latter place, by
Jury. and approved guilty, damages be-
ing fixed at 800 aud costs of court.
The counsel for the defense take excep-
tons to the ruling of the Court, claiming
that tine Probate Judge has no jurisdic-
ton in the case cited, and obtaining a
writ of habeas corpus inthe Second Ju-
dicial District, County Of Beaver will
make the case test one. The case is
one of vital importance to Utah, and
thus far the question stands equally di-
vided on both sides. Judge Mexican, Of
the Third Judicial District, decided
against Probate jurisdiction, and Judge
Emerson, of the First judicial District
Court, for it.
