CABIN OF THE PILGRIM.
Remains of the Vessel in Which
Richard III. Dana Sailed Around
Cape Horn.


In the Spanish quarter of Santa Bar
bara there stands a little cabin of a
singular type of architecture, very
weakly as to its foundations and with
a heavily-paneled and deeply=recessed
door presenting a striking contrast to
its diminutive proportions. Many a
curious glance is cast in this direction,
but even among the oldest citizens of
little city rich in these time-honored
individuals, few are aware that they
are looking upon the cabin of the good
ship Pilgrim, which brought Richard
II. Dana around the Horn in the early
'30's, when he began gathering material
for his famous book, Two Years Be-
fore the Mast"
The story of the wreck of the Pilgrim,
as told by a reliable Santa Barbara
man, is a strange romance of the sea.
1t seems that after discharging the
cargo which she had brought around
the Horn, she remained on the Pacific,
engaging in the coasting trade. Shippers
must have been scarce in that day, for
in no other way can the fact be account
ed for that she finally fell under the
command of Capt, Moses, who, old
seamen bitterly assert. knew no more
about navigation than babe in arms.
One day Capt. Moses started from
Monterey with a cargo of potatoes and
lime for San Francisco. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the San Francisco con-
signees heard nothing Of her, for sew
L.
just arriving from Mazatlan and lying
in the Santa Barbara channel, anxious
ly inquiring his way to Ventura, and if
the market for potatoes and lime was
likely to be promising one in that di-
rection. Judge Mcguire, the father of
the younger generation of Maguires
living in Santa Barbara to-day, was to
be married that night, and the skipper
was invited ashore TO the wedding. a
storm came up and the vessel went
ashore, and this is how it comes that
the ships cabin, rescued from the
wreck, became a landlubber's home, in
stead of floating upon the high seas.
Dirt and squalor peryade it, sin and
crime have faunted themselves within
it, murder has very nearly stained its
walls with blood, but the stanch little
cabin, built of good, honest timbers,
still holds its own, and seems mutely
to plead with passers-by to rescue it
from its ignominious fate. Cleansed
and repaired and repainted, and with
vines trained over its roof, it would not
make an i'll ornament for some ones
lawn, and might yet do good service as
q summer house or child's playhouse.

serve as a tottering abode of poverty
and crime.-Sap Francisco Chronicle.

ETIQUETTE OF WEDDINGS.
Points to he Observed by the Bride
Regarding Invitations and
Her Presents,

The fashionable wedding invitation
is voluninous affair. First, there is
the invitation to the ceremony, en-
graved on note paper, which is folded
once, and with this are inclosed the
card for the reception, the card for ad-
mission to the church and the at home
card of the young people, if the time
and place of their at homes are de-
cided on, the exception being that they
are not. If the wedding be out of town
il is the correct thing to inclose also a
memorandum of the trains to take, and
if a special car is provided for guests,
q card of admission to such car is in
closed.
Of course, one can and does eeono-
nize by engraving the time and place
of the reception upon the invitation
sheet, but this is not considered good
taste, the correct thing being to have
separate card for each separate thing.
If the marriage is private announce
ments should be sent to every one who
would otherwise have been invited. If
these are sent out by the parents Of the
bride it should be done Immediately
after the marriage, as she is no longer
one of their household after she leaves
it with her husband. IL the announce
ment is later, it should be sent in the
name of the couple. If the newly-mar-
ried pair have decided on day or days
at home, a card for those days is in
closed with the announcement.
The bride acknowledges her pres
ents as soon as possible, using paper
with her new monogram, Paper for
this purpose with new seal is usually
provided beforehand by the bride=
groom. A letter of thanks is not neces=
sary, but the note must contain few
we'll chosen words in the brides own
handwriting. Cards with sentence of
thanks are not considered good FORM"

ONCE TOOK HAVANA,
Moro Castle Captured After a Ter
rible Struggle.
The Bravery of American Soldiers
Recorded by Historian Ban
croft-Then Under Eng
Iish Rule.

In 1862 soldiers from the American
colonies which afterward became the
United States captured Havana under
English leadership, and men of Massa-
chusetts hauled down the Spanish flag
from Morro castle.
The story is we'll worth recalling. be.
cause it shows how bravely and success
fully our ancestors fought against
Spain, and also because it warns us
against dragging out negotiations and
preparations until the deadly rainy sea-
son sets in. The following is from Ban
croft, vol, iii:
Assembling the feet of transports
at Martinique and off Cape St. Nicholas,
Admiral Pococke sailed directly
through the Bahama straits and on the
sixth day of June came in sight of the
low coast around Havana. The Spanish
forces for the defense of the city were
about forty=six hundred; the English
had 1900 effective men and were re-
cruited by nearly thousand negroes
from the Leeward islands and by 1,50O
:rom Jamaica. Before the end of July
the needed reinforcements arrived
from New York and New England;
among these were Putnam, the brave
ranger of Connecticut, and numbers Of
inen less happy, because never destined
to revisit their homes.
ION the 18th OF July, after siege of
20 days, during which the Spaniards lost
thousand men, and the brave Don
! Luis de Nelasco was naortally wounded,
ths MORO castle was taken by storm
On the 18th of August the governor of
Havana caIoitulated, and the most i'm
into the hands of the English. AT the
same time nine ships of the line and
four frigates were captured in the har-
Dor. The booty of property belonging
to the king of Spain was estimated at
$1O,OOO,OO
'The siege was conducted in midsum-
mer, against a city which liss just with
in the tropic. The country around
Morro castle is rocky. To bind and
carry the fascines was of itself q work
of incredible labor, made possible only
by the aid of African slaves, Suff-
cient earth to hold the fascines firm
was gathered with difficulty from Grew
ices in the rocks, Once, after drought
of IA days, the grand battery took fire
by the flames, and, cracking and
spreading where water could not fol
low it nor earth stifle it, was wholly
consumed.
"The climate spoiled a great part OF
the provisions. Wanting good water
very many died in pgonies from thirst
More fell victims to a putrid fever, OF
which the 1nalignity left but three OF
four hours between robust health and
death. Some wasted away with loath-
some disease.
'Over the graves the carrion-crows
lowered and often scratched away the
scanty earth which rather hid than
buried the dead. Hundreds of carcasses
foated on the ocean. And yet, such was
the enthusiasm of the English, such the
resolute zeal of sailors and s1ldiers,
such the unity of action between the
fleet and the army, that the vertical sun
of June and July, the heavy rains of
August, raging fever and strong and
well-defended fortresses, all the OBJ
stacles of nature and art, were sur
mounted and the most decisive victory
of the war was gained."-N. Y. World.

Spanish Coneeit.

The Havana correspondent of the
Washington Star, referring to the un-
bounded confidence of the average
Spaniard in the greatness and power of
everything Spanish, relates 4 story:
Recently an Englishman, half in ban
ter and half in earnest, was commiser-
ating an official of high degree on the
presence of the warship Maine. IF
Uncle Sam undertakes to bulldoze you,
he said, John Bull won't allow it.

frigid reply, but the navy of Spain is

Wash six ounces of rice and put in a
saucepan, with a tablespoonful of but
ter, a saltspoonful of salt and one quart
of milk; add two ounces of blanched
almonds that have been pounded, and
cook slowly, without stirring, until the
rice is tender and the milk absorbed.
Take from the fire, and add to the

two rolled macaroons, twelve candied
cherries cut in halves, little candied

NEWSPAPERS OF SPAIN,
They Are Few in Number and Even
the Best OF Them Contain
Very Little News,

Spain is a country of 100000 popu-
lation, but there are fewer newspapers
published in it, daily, weekly and BIZ
monthly, official, semi-ofiicial, secular
and scientific, than are published in the
single American state Of Illinois, which,
by the last federal census, had popula-
ton of 3,800,00O And many, if not
most, of the newspapers published in
Spain are newspapers in name only, for
their most distinguished characteristic
IS that they do not contain any news,
being devoted to what are called "mat-
ters in general" or such matters in
particular as permit of the publication
Of the paper any day of the week or any
hour Of the day-it doesn't make much
difference which.
Barcelona is now the most populous
of the Spanish cities, exceeding by the
recent census the population of Madrid
by several thousands. But the two Bar
celona papers which have the largest
circulation are El Loro (the Parrot), a
Catalan journal devoted to jokes, and
El Modo Espanol (thc Spanish Fash
ionsl. AS the Spanish fashions have
been precisely the same for several cen
turies, without the slightest deYiation
in cut or color, fabric or article, the
urgent necessity of publishing a news
PAPER devoted to them is not entirely
c ear.
Other Barcelona papers are the Voice
cf the Neighborhood, the Bludgeon "a
satirical journal with a grewsome and
CORY name), Publicity, the organ Of the
republicans, with circulation smaller
than that of the New York City Record,
and the Family Pictorial. In Madrid,
the capital, a newspaper which has been
frequently referred to in the cable dis
patches from Spain is La Epoca, CON
servative Journal, which makes claim 70
