Of speaking of the mystery that wells"
If, and Of romanci1lg about the ''royal
hermit" King Louis has occupied since
last November new palace-the mouat-

The castle stands on a high rock, or

entirely of granite, in pure Italian style.
With numerous balconies, and turrets
and height Of six stories. In the center

Musical Convention,

The musical convention, under tht
direction OF f, X. O,er, Esd. OF Water
bury, held at Mortified last week, was
quite successful The chorus, not MS large
as was expected, was quite effective ant
took hold of the work with will ant
made good progress. In addition to the
drill exercises n matinee and two concerts
were given. The first on Wednesday
evening was well attended and passed of
well, Mrs. Briggs of Montpelier bang
two numbers with excellent effect as was
to be expected and was given a hearty
encore. Miss ODER and Mrs. johnson
sang to excellent satisfaction.
The matinee Thursday afternoon was
we'll attended and the programme was IL
good one, well rendered. But one thing
struck us AS rather funny. Good honest
daylight was somehow not tho ught to be
the proper thing for "a matinee. SO there
was an attempt at darkening the windows
and the kerosene lamps were lighted
before the afternoon drill was commenced
and the lamp light, with daylight pouring
in at gable window, gave ludicrous
effect, as is often the case when people
are trying to put on style. and hardly
know how.
The Thursday evenings concert was
excellent. though the programme was
rather lengthy. The songs and solos
were we'll rendered and the chorus did
excellent work. Mr.. Briggs was present
and accompanied most of the songs and
played selection which was encored, for
which he gave Gottschalks Cradle Song,
most exquisite composition. which some
in the audience did not appreciate
enough to keep still. The financial part
Of the convention was a success, leaving
handsome surplus after paying expenses.
