In the Hawaiian debate in the U. S.

In the Hawaiian debate in the U. S.
Senate yesterday. Senator Daniel took
the ground that the criticisms upon the
President for interfering with Hawai-
ian affairs came too late. "They should
have been previously applied, " he said,
with respect to Minister Stevens, who
assumed, with respect to the military
forces ofthe United States, the attitude
of supreme commander in chief,
above the admiral, above the President,
above the Congress, above the laws,
and above the Constitution of the Uni
ted States'' And that is the right
ground. The interference in the first
instance was utterly unwarranted, and
a gross outrage upon friendly nation;
and that wrong having been done dur
ing the administration of his predeces-
sor, Mr.. Cleveland should have undone
it as soon as he was informed of the
facts of the case.-AleG. Gazette of Jan.

A large oak tree was recently cut on
Judge E. d. Newman's farm, on the
river south of this place. In working
it up two grains of corn were found
EMBEDDED in the solid center of the old
oak. The only supposition to account
for the presence of the corn in this
place is that it was put into knot hole
while the tree was small and young and
the subsequent growth obliterated all
traces of the opening rendering the tree
sound and solid at that point. ,Shenam-
