The Philadelphia Record say, that the
kinau, Hon. s. G.. Wildcr's new steamer.
purchased 10y him from Col Claus Sprcckcls,
made a successful trip on the Delaware, August
18th. On board were the owner, the brothers
Camp, who built her, Hawaiian Commits.
sioncr J. Mott Smith, and several others.
The new vessel has gross register Of 900
tons. Her dimensions are; Length, 400
feet breadth Of beam, % feet, and 10 feet
depth Of hold, with accommodations for 10
saloon and 400 stcerage passengers The en-.
gines are OF the two-cylindcr inverted vertical
type, and are Of 600 indicated horse power.
The cylinders are - and ~ inches in diameter,
and have piston stroke OF 30 inches. During
the trip twelve knots per hour was made the
propeller making 81 revolutions per minute,
exceeding the expectations of her builders and
owner.
The kinau was to sail Angus, ,sth under the
| command of the following oificers Captain,
T.. A. Won schmidt; chief officer, John Ander.
son; chief engineer, Thomas c. Marley, with
A. Gutgland As first assistant. The distance
from Delaware Capes to Honolulu is 1900
miles. cargo consisting OF 100 tons OF coal
and 100 ions OF merchandise will be taken on
board. She ought to arrive here ON or about
the Ist Of November.
The kinau was so named in part after the
high ehieicss Of that name, wife OF Governor
kekuanaoa, and mother of the kamehamchas
~ and and OF the Princess Victoria and
who was premier after the death of kaahu.
manu-; in part, also, the vessel was named
after Mrs Wilder, whose second name is
kinau.
On her arrival, she will be placed on the
following route: Lahaina, kahului, Mahu.
kona, kawaihae, Laupahoehoe and fIio; re-.
| turning by the same route. This route leaves
out Malaaea and Makena on the former Like
like route.
The last named vessel will run on her present
route taking, in addition, several OF the Ha.
makua ports, all Of which have not yet been
decided upon.
The kinau will give portion Of the inter.
island trade the only iron vessel floating the
Hawaiian flag. She will be in every respect a
modern vessel, having electric bells, electric
| lighting, and perfectly appointed passenger
| accommodations. A feature of the Knaus
service will be that deck passengers will be eff.
ieciually protected against wind and spray
which is certainly something to anticipate.

Mexican Hospitality.
Fannie b. Ward.

Having once gained the confidence
of Mexican aristocrats and the entree
to their homes, one finds them most
charming people-generous and hos
pitable to fault-but most always
remember to allow a wide margin for
the extravagant gallaptry of Southern
races. For example, when you visit
a family for the first time, your host
is sure to say Gn the musical Castilian,
which loses much of its fine meaning
in translation Consider this house
your home while in the city All
here is at your disposition. My case
is yours, and | am your guest. " You
are not to move in and take literal
possession, but must have some equal
ly polite reply upon your tongue S
eud. If YOU chance to express adj
miration for his horse, his watch, the
garment he wears, he Immediately
says; Take it, it is yours'-aud the
situation is sometimes embarrassing.
They love to wine and dine you, and
lead you with extravagant
gifts, always, however, ex
pecting an equal return.
And, then they will pet and 'coddle'
you to an unprecedented degree, and
open their hearts so entirely that you
may read the innermost secrets Of
Mexican character like an open book
and vastly interesting reading it is
But be careful that the fur is never
"smoothed the wrong wayw The
sharpest of claws are hidden under
that velvet exterior, and those suavC
manners cover depths of passion
anger, jealousy, revenge, past al
sounding AS cruel and relentless "a
the grave.

A MINT OF WOMEN.
They Are Mating our Coin.

Fifty women employed in the mint
in San Francisco are called adjusters,
and their pay is 81 IS a day. These
adjusters occupy two large rooms on
the second floor of the mint One is
used for the adjusting of silver and
the other for that of gold. The floors
are carpeted, and each lady has mar
ble-top table, a pair of scales, and a
fine, delicate file. Before the gold is
turned over to them to be adjusted it
goes through the process OF being
rolled, annealed, cut and washed
They then take it a state called
BLANKS, that is perfectly smooth, and
the weighing is done. 1t is weighed
to see if each piece be of STANDARD
weight, which must be of 4l2l grains
for a silver dollar, slight discrepancy
being allowed on either side. If coin
is found outside Of the limit after be-
ing weighed by am adjuster it is re-
turned; if too light it is condemned,
and must be remelted; if too heavy it
is filed to its proper weight This is
the ladies' work, and an interesting
sight it is to watch the small white
fingers deity handling the shining
pieces. A room near the adjusting
room has been set aside for the ladies.
who use it as . lunch room; two long
tables are provided and ianitresS
furnishes boiling water for making
tea, and also keeps the place neat and
clean. Several of the ladies have been
in the mint for many years.

DRESSING PonItrY For MARKED.

[. A. Lawrence in the Fancier's
Gazette gives the following regarding
the preparation Of poultry for the mar
ket:
Fattening In fattening poultry
give them all they will eat Corn is
preferable, as poultry fattened on it
is more yellow and better than that
fattened on any other grain, and re-
member you will get pay for every
poudd your poultry gains in fatten-
ing.
Killing and dressing Food in the
crop Injuries the appearance, is liable
to sour, and purchasers object to pay
for the worse than useless weights
therefore, keep from food twenty-four
hours before killing.
Sticking in the mouth-we think
the best mode of killing, although
some prefer opening the veins of the
neck Dress the fowl as soon as pos
sible after it dies For scalding, the
water should be nearly or quite boil
ing hot. Dip the bird in the water
three times, holding it there about two
seconds at each immersion, and lift
ing it entirely out each time. Pick
the feathers off Immediately without
rubbing, which causes the skin to
turn black. 1t should be pumped, by
dipping into boiling water for about
two seconds then Immediately into
cold water.
If your poultry is nice and fat, we
prefer it dry-picked. Take nothing
but the feathers off for this market
leaving head and feet on and entrails
in. Be sure and let the poultry get
entirely cold before packing.

The fruit shipments from the Hud-
son River valley are simply immense
and surpass all previous years. The
amount Of grapes alone that is shipped
is between five or SIX hundred tons
daily. OF these there are numerous
varieties, but the Concord is the prin-
cipal grape produced The season
viii continue for two weeks yet. The
district from which most of the fruit
is taken extends from Cornwall to
Kingston. A local newspaper says
that in five years from now the whole
river front, and for several miles in
land, viii be one vast vineyard Large
quantities of late peaches are also be-
ing shipped.
