NOTES OF THE WEEK.

into a place where everything looks las busy a. Il
bee" Such was the case with Us the other afternoon,
when, after having been employed in the manner
aforesaid, We visited the Bakery establishment Of Mr..
Robert Love. on Nuuanu Street, recently erected. and
which wen, into active operation a few days ago.
The o5ligiug proprietor readily explained the prac;i-
cll working Of hi silent but efficient workman, Mr..
Steam Engine, and we gathered from the sight and
explanation the following facts
The machinery was imported by the proprietor
from san Francisco, G5 an expense Of about 5000.
and was set up BY that experienced mechanic, Mr..
Thomas Hughes. The engine : of about four horse
power. The main building Is so feet front by - feet
deep 20 the ovens; i~ncluIinE the ovens and engine
room, II l. Sc feet. The cost Of the building, which
Is slate rooted. and the ovens, the latter erected under
the suPerintendauce Of that accomplished and skill
ful mason, Mr.. Geo. Thomas, was about $1,000, and
the whole concern reflects much credit on the energy
Of the proprietor, Mr.. Robert Love. Every precau-
ton has been taken 10 guard against FIRE, and there
is but little danger If a re-enactment Of the ccnfa-
grafton Of last December.
The mofls opsrla9i s as follows: The -four is
placed in q large box, AMI water poured upon it suf-
fcient TO mix it to the proper consistency. 1t is
then shoyelel into n trough shaped ike q coffee mill,
through the bottom Of which runs ! spiral screw,
which seizes hold Of the dough, and carries it along
a tubular shaped iron conduit, from which it emer-
ges dough of the orthodox quality. This falls on a
clean wooden surface, upon which it is fltteued a
little by hand, and then placed upon au inclined
plane, from which it slides aud runs between two
smooth iron cylinders, which fittensi it out to the pro-
per width and thickness. for cutting aud stamping
for biscuits, crackers, cakes, or whatever may be
needed. This mixing by the screw, through the cyl

prevents %balling,' and does away with the knead-
ing with naked feet, &c. The stamping and cutting
into shape is very ingeniously performed, the stamper
playing up and down like the piston of q steam en-
CINE, and performing the work much more s~atisfac-
torily than the face of a man pitted with small pox
would. which Old Joe Cereal tells US, that a gentle
man of his acquaintance informed another gentle
man, it was the only good use he could be put to-"
1t will be at once perceived that the steam operation
is much clesnlier than the old fashioned way by
hand. The quantity which can be baked at once. is
about $50 pounds,-aud the bakery can turn out if
needed about 1000 pounds per day. There is a fine
loft for drying the bread, and if necessary to be kiln
dried, there is sufficient room over the ovens.
Under the supervision of the worthy proprietor, and
his experienced foreman, Mr.. J. P~ettigrew, the feet,
in the fall, can be supplied with good pilot and navy
bread, at prices which il cannot be imported for,
from San Francisco, or any where else, and families
will be able to find a constant and fresh assortment
of Jenny Lind and nut cakes, sugar, butter, water,
Boston and soda crackers. Having tested their quail
ity, we can safely vouch for their goodness.
Wilson'S CRcUs.-Our readers, or such of them
as had the good fortune to - see the ELEPHANT and
Wilson's Circus during their visit here last winter,
be pleased to learn that this fine company Of
equestrians, which sailed from Honolulu Jan. 10 in
the ship Triton, arrived safely in Chile, and had
been very successful in the tour ofthat country. The
.4iia has the following a member of Dan Rice's
Show Company. late of California, writes to the Alta
from Santiago. the Capital of Chile, under date of
81 ult. The Dan Rice Company is accompanied by
the trained elephant named = Albert the mules
ponies, and is under the charge of Messrs. Will
sen and Heudrickson. Our correspondent writes
that the Company, all in good health, arrived at Val
paraiso on the 4th March, and performed there a
number of nights to good houses. After that they
Quillota, san Felipe. San Antonio, and Rim
conada de los Andes, and lastly Santiago, doing eX-
,ecdingly well at every place. At Santiago they had
crowded houses for twenty and odd nights; and could
continue TO draw full houses Tor a longer time, If it
were not for the rainy season. which begins when the
Of California ends. If the Company had arrived
It Valparaiso in September they might have travelled
through the whole State. As it is they We're soon to

\ DIsAProINrMENT-Life is full Of diSappoint-
nents, we all know, but who ever heard Of a man
,eing disappointed because they didn't hang him !
I'm old Kanaka who killed his wife on Kauai, some
aonths ago, and was tried and sentenced to be hung,
lad his sentence committed 10y the King, a few days
efore the time fixed for hanging him, to imprison-
nent for life. When the respite was communicated
o the guilty man. who was in the city jail at the
ime, he broke out into a loud and woful lamenta-
complaining bitterly of the mercy shown him,
nd saying that he had prepared himself TO die and
'as sadly disappointed at the news. Disappointed!
We call it humanity 70 extend the life Of q human
eng hut who knows the heart Of a murderer
Ihether the Cravings IF conscience Off he has oue)
re not more intolerable than the prospect of death
' hanging: 1t may ue, that in "a majority of the
zecutions for murder, what the world calls cruelty
nd inhumanity, is really Il blessing and a relief to the
guilty man. -
VERACIoUs, VERY.-In another column, we present
facts regarding the ancestry Of our noble Queen
NINA, who has been most grossly and rs would seem
Us w.utonly libelled by the Surgeon Of II. b. NJ.
hip .1iert, which visited Honolulu last year. What
lie object could have been, even had he believed the
port which he published, We have yet TO learn. Il
g are not mistaken this is the same gentleman who
FINISHED a certificate certifying that there had been
o cases Of disease contracted by the seamen of the
iCrt, associating with the base females under the
llrge Of the government authorities, which cerJid-
tie the editor Of the PolyHesiaH had the impudence
palm off on this community, when it was well
lown to be 4 falsehood and that DR.. Ford had under
: charge about 4 dozen cases of diseased seameu
longing to the same ship -fIert The certificate is
on a par with the Scotch letter, and both are
Se falsehoOds. -
FROM HILo-On our first page will be found a re-
,rt of the celebration of the Fourth at Hilo. As
ight be expected, wherever the sons Of little Rhode
land locate, some powder is sure to be smelt, some
Use heard, and some patriotic toasts drank on the
.tional anniversary. Those who know Thos. Spen-
r, know that the . gallant captain does not do
b. halves, and he deserves no small need Of
