CABIN OF THE PILGRIM,
Remains of the Vessel fn Which
Richard III. Dana Sailed.

From the San francisco Chronicle.
In the old Spanish quarter of Santa Bar
bara there stands 4 little cabin of a singu-
lar type Of architecture, very weakly as TO
its foundations and with q heavily paneled
and deeply recessed door presenting a
striking contrast to its diminutive propor-
tions. Many a curious glance is cast in its
direction, but even among the Oldest cti-
zens Of a little city rich in these time-hon-
cred individuals, few are aware that they
are looking upon the cabin of the good ship
Pilgrim, which brought Richard III. Dana
around the Horn in the early '3g's, when he
began gathering material for his famous
book, Two Years Before 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 dlScharging the cargo which sne had
brought around the Horn, she remained or
the Pacific. engaging in the coasting trade.
Shippers must have been scarce in that
day, for in no other way can the fact be
accounted for that she finally fell under
the command of a Capt. Moses who, old
seamcn 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 Fran
cisco. 1t is TO be presumed that the San
Francisco consignees heard nothing of her,
for several weeks later Moses hailed a ship
just arriving from Mazatlan and lying IN
the Santa Barbara chaInel. anxiously in
quring his way to Ventura, and IL thu
market for potatoes and lime was likely to
be promising one in that direction. Judge
Mcguire, the father of the younger genera
ton of Magui-es living In Santa Barbara
today, was to be married that night, and
the skipper was invited ashore to the we'd
ding. A storm came up and the vessel went
ashore and this is how 1t comes that the
ships cabin, rescued from the wreck, be-
came landlubber's home, instead Of float
ing upon the high seas.
Dirt and squalor pervade 1t, sin and crime
have Haunted thems elves 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, 1t would
not make an i'll ornament for some ones
lawn. and might yet do good service as a
summer house or chfld's play house. AS a
potable historical relic il certainly deserves
a better destiny than to serve rs totter-
ing abode OF poverty and crime.

Their Fourth ANNUAL.

The members of c. w. Bronson lodge
No. 487, Brotherhood of Railroad Train
znen, in their fourth annual ball, IN the
Menard opera house, Tuesday night,
credited themselves with a large and en-
ioyable success. They had a large at
tendance and a large time.
The music was of the best vintage Of
the Pythian orchestra, which is quite
irresistible to the lovers of the dance.
From the opening march led by Mas
ter of Ceremonies w. c. Bnlger and
lady. Miss Ona Simons, to the closing
a'Home, Sweet Home waltz, the affair
passed off without a hitch and in the
most gratifying manner TO the guests and
to the eminent satisfaction of the man
;agement and membership, each and all
of whom are to be congratulated and
&eiicitated thereupon.
The supper was served by the Ladies
Circle of the G. A. r. in the Smith store
room, and it was harmonious with the
rest of the affair. The ladies spread an
elegant repast in the most attractive and
tasteful style. being accorded a liberal
patronage for their labor and effort in
preparation for that feature of the event.
The opera hall was very tastefully dec
GRATED with colored steamers and col
.ored lanterns in profusion, making an
effect most pleasing 10 the eye and ex
hilarating withal.
In addition to the local attendance,
many were present from points up and
down the division, adding another happy
element to an occasion the boys may
well feel proud OF.

A holiday improvement at the German
Congregational church is the new cur
tains, just hung, adding to the comfort
and appearance of the church, which
has been materially improved within the
year past.
The probability that Rev. Vogt may
remove to another field in the early sum-
mer will not be learned with any degree
of satisfaction by his friends in this sec
ton, where his work has been most ar
duous and efficient.
1t is satisfying to learn in connection
with the work of Rev. Vogt of the Ger
man Congregational church that the
regular attendance upon the services of
the church is too large for the seating
capacity of the building; and one of the
problems of the future will be, if the
growth of the congregation continues,
the enlargement of the building. A
parsonage is also among the needs of
the new year, which promises we'll for
them in material and spiritual ways.
