| The santa Monica Soldiers' Home. An old soldier now at the Home in Santa Monica, Cal, writes J. Guthrie Savage an interesting description of that institution an the life an old soldier there. He says:
 "I am feeling very we'll now, except my back. I like the home very much, although it is hard to content myself. The soldiers here are not as agreeable and pleasant as expected, but every thing else is far better than I had anticipated Many old cranks are find ing fault continuously. The governor is very kind and good to all.
 We do not have roll call, the lights or taps. Lights out at 9 o'clock p. m. We eat breakfast at 6 o'clock a. m., then go where we like until 9 p. m., and if we want to stay out one, two or even ninety days, we only need ask for a pass or furlough, which is never re- fused. The Home has water works, sewerage, etc. There are five large barracks, large dining room with 800 seats, the tables and seats being all numbered and each soldier has brass check with his table and seat number on it. The Home has a fine library where we can read all day or take books to our quarters. A large hospi- tai, the finest I ever saw, and good doctors who are very kind. Three large buildings for officers quarters, large headquarters building, a store and a steam laudry. All the buildings are heated with steam and hot air. A tne bath room with all the modern improvements, for each twenty-five men. In short everything is as neat and handy as any hotel in the land. The grounds are covered with beauti- ful evergreen trees, shrubbery, and flowers of all kinds. There are 800 acres in barley, besides all kinds of vegetables through the whole year. It is about four miles to Santa Monica by street car and three to the ocean. We can see Los Angeles and ocean steamers on the sea from here. The weather is as warm here now as in Flagstaff in June, still I think I will leave here as soon as I can get little better.
 The doctor thinks that l will be all right in four or five weeks more. There are very few bad cripples, mostly all able-bodied men apparently, and most all have pension. Soldiers who come here must have discharge or get one within sixty days or leave the Home.
 will write to some others in Flag staff some of these days. Poor Hook is no better and will try to go else where soon. An earthquake gave us a bad shake-up here and started one whole family from Kansas for the state of blizzards and grasshoppers."

MERAN, Austria, Oct. 13.-It was re-
Gently my good fortune to be present at
aroyal family reunion, when three courts
assembled at the Cumberland palace, in
Gmunden, Austria, to do honor to the
musical genius OF Jesse Shepard, who
was invited by III. r. H., the duchess OF
Cumberland, to pass an evening in strict
intimacy among her relatives. A gath
ering composed of three crowned heads,
with their respective courts, and several
royal highnesses, is sight rare even in
court circles, and especially at home
gathering where Mr.. Shepard and my
self were the only persons present who
were not members of the royal house
holds.
The palace at Gmunden was built by
the present duke of Cumberland, head
of the house of Hanover, whose colos-
sal fortune permits the greatest luxury
and munifcence. The officers, domes-
tics and retainers of his household at
Gmunden number over 300 persons,
without counting those kept at the
splendid palace at Hanover and the diff
ferent villas owned by him. The Gmun-
den palace is built in the old feudal
style, and lies on hill overlooking the
mountains and the beautiful Traunsee.
1t is surrounded by vast forest and
park connecting with the grounds OF the
summer villa Of the queen of Hanover,
mother of the duke OF Cumberland.
As we entered the park the whole
structure, with it's turrets and towers.
was a blaze of light, and, as we APP
preached, the sight grew more and more
Imposing and romantic. But once in
side one was impressed by other 6ensa-
tions. Instead of cold and conven-
tional palace, the eye everywhere met
with elegance, beauty, novelty and lux
ury. There was no mistaKing the home
like air of the interior, although one was
not for a moment permitted to forget
that one was at court, for signs of royalty
were everywhere visible. The balber-
diers, with staff in hand, and the lackeys
were all in their places, clad in the
livery of the house of Hanover, a fam
ing scarlet with massive gold trim
mipgs, veritable giant beef-eaters,
fat and impassive under their
white wigs and three cornered
hats. On entering. one of these giants
received us, while another took charge
of our hats and coats, but not word
was spoken. Right before US stood the
main staircase, leading to the reception
rooms; on arriving at the first turning

me think OF one OF Watteau's exquisite
pictures turned into tableau vlvant.
Etiquette permitted no one to be seated,
as their majesties continually stood or
walked about, conversing with Mr..
Shepard and the different members OF
their courts.
1t was nearly 10 O'Clock when the
duchess of Cumberland went to the
grand piano and raised the hoary lid
without any assistance. Her royal
highness asked Mr.. Shepard where he
would like his audience to be seated; ;
just then the queen of Hanover took a
seat near the piano, to the right, but
Immediately rose again, saying: per
baps Mr.. Shepard will not like me to sit
here" Mr.. Shepard replied that her
majesty, being a sympathetic auditor,
could sit where she pleased. Right be-
hind the musician oat the queen OF Den
mark with her daughter and the Prin-
cess Marie. H. r. III. the duke OF Alten-
burg took seat beside his cousin, the
queen of Hanover. Immediately be-
hind their majesties and royal high
nesses stood the ladies and gentlemen OF
the different households, conspicuous
among them being the two marshals OF
the duke of Cumberland's court, his ex-
cellency, General Count Kielmansegg,
brother of the governor OF Lower Aus
tria, whose breast was covered with
orders. and General Won Klenck.
Mr.. Shepard played and sang with his
accustomed ease and brilliancy, every
one listeniug to the music with profound
attention. but when his voice reached
the highest notes the queen OF Hanover,
no longer able to control her emotion,
rose from her seat and exclaimed:
II never in my life heard anything
like it,"
-safter the music all were anxious to
cell their impressions, the queen OF Dem
mark declaring that Mr.. Shepard's
playing had the richness and power OF
four hands instead of two, and for the
rest of the evening he was kept busy
answering questions appropos OF his
marvellous artistic gifts. When their
majesties or, royal highnesses were con-
vereing with him the other members of
the courts did not approach, but, by
turns, small groups would form around
him, all eager to know more about the
wonderful musician. Princess Marie re-
turned several times and during the
conversation remarked to Mr.. Shepard
that her father, the late king of Han
over, was not only good musician, but
was musical authority who wrote on
music. In fact, the royal families Of
Denmark and Hanover are known to be
the most critical in music of any of the
royal families of Europe. Under such
congenial and sympathetic conditions
MIR. Shepard felt himself thoroughly at
home, and was probably never heard to
better advantage.
Soon after the music had ceased re-
freshments were served in the armorial
hall, where everyone remained standing
or walked about at pleasure. Wines
were served that are only to be obtained
from vineyards under royal control, such
as the Austrian Toquay, and, as we were
enjoying the privilege of a family re-
union, the gentleml~ were now per-
mitted to smoke. duke of Cum0cT-
land offered me 6gar, and noticed
that the duke of Altenburg smoked
freely while conversing with the queen
of Denmark.

another living statue stood in silence as
we passed. Arrived at the top an elderly
man in deep, black livery, with knee
breeches and silk stockings, conducted
us into the reception room; he was the
confidential valet of the duchess of Cum
berland, and looked like an English
clergyman of olden times. Her royal
highness Immediately entered, and,
after welcoming us to the palace, said to
Mr.. Shepard: II think l have
selected sympathetic company
to meet you this evening"" An
animated and intimate conversation On
music and art followed, and, turning to
me, the duchess said, in Danish: II
have never heard of such exceptional
gifts in music and literature; l believe
Mr.. Shepard is the only one." The
duchess also alluded to Mr.. Shepard's
visit and reception at the imperial pal
ace at Gatchina, the residence of her
sister. 1t will be remembered that her
royal highness is sister of the empress
of Russia Dis we'll as of the princess OF
Wales and the king of Greece. The
duchess, who has a beautiful face and
charming figure, was dressed in a simple
robe of gray cashmere, without orna-
ments of any kind. She is a brilliant
conversationalist, and, like her mother,
the queen of Denmark, and her husband,
the duke of Cumberland, is fine musi-
clan.
Mr.. Shepard expressed his admira-
tion for the music room, the walls and
ceiling of which are in different woods.
On the walls hung several lite-size fam
lily portraits. and the duchess, turning
to the most beautiful, said: ''This is
my sister-in-law, Princess Marie OF
Hanover. an accomplished pianist; you
will meet her this evening"" After
long conversation with her royal high
nees, the duke entered and shook hands
cordially. He il a tall man CT abop.
with fine military bearing. Sraoenly
the duchess said: "The queen is COM
ing" and all passed into an adjoining
room to receive the queen of Denmark,
with her court A few minutes later
her majesty walked up to Mr.. Shepard
and began a conversation in excellent
English. Her majesty wore delicate
heliotrope silk, with a. short train, her
bosom being covered with old lace, dia-
monds and pear shaped pearls.
Shortly after the queen of Hanover
arrived accompanied by her daughter,
Princess Marie, and her court. and i'm

queen of Hanover was dressed in black,
without jewels, never having left off
mourning for the late king. Princess
Marie, however. wore superb robe of
mauve brocade, her wrists, neck and
bosom being covered with sapphires and
diamonds. Her royal highness is ex-
tremely tall, has classical face, and
converses and moves about with an air
of great dignity. Her conversation is
slow, methodical; every word is weighed,
every gesture betokens the cultured
aristocrat.
About 8 80 O'Clock tea and coffee were
served in the banqueting hall, which is
connected with the music hall by large
double doors. Several lackeys passed
about srrong the brilliant assemblage,
bearing huge silver trays. The effect

BESIDE TIE STREAM.

Long watched her, beside the river,
Breathing the springtime air;
Smiling up to the Holy Giver
OF world so bright and fair.
There she stood, where the swirling waters
Kissed her feet with it's hoary spray.
She, the darling of natures daughters
And the peer of the fairest fay.
There she wandered, from dewy morning
With the thoughts that love instills-
Till the sun, with wreaths her brow adorn-
ing,
Sank behind the western hills.
There she loitered in dreamful rapture,
Alone on the sandy shore;
Oh, poel-artist, here might We capture
A picture OF lost Lenore!
Now the maiden is lying lowly
In mound beside the stream,
While angels visit that spot SO holy a.
When OF 1.-THE moon doth beam,
Now her spirit has flown forever
But her soul deem is blest
By the dreams she dreamt by the cleaning

When she wandered an earthly guest.

its carved woods, and chandeliers made
Of elk horns made one think of old
feudal times and the poetry of the
troubadors and the Cumberland palace,
the only one of its kind in the world,
sumptuous, varied and homelike, was
of all places the most fitting for such an
occasion.
Several days later H. R. H. the
duchess of Cumberland sent Mr..
Shepard graceful letter, with superb
sapphire surrounded by diamonds, fresh
from the court jeweler at Vienna, as a
souvenir of this memorable evening.

Dragged TO His Death.

Judge d. E. Nicholson known in news
paper circles as "David Easy" was
killed in a runaway at Rutland Monday.
Darwin Stoves, who workes for W. d.
Hulett, was driving along Broadway in
that village in an open buggy, leading a
second horse. The latter animal became
frightened and runaway ensued
Several collisions with other vehicles
followed. One of them was with Judge
Njcholson's buggy. The judge was
thrown out and dragged considerable
distance. He was rendered unconscious,
his face being mass of wounds. Seven
hours later the judge breathed his last.
The deceased was born in Tinmouth
June 7, 1913. He was educated in the
common schools and began life as me-
chanic at Wallingford. Here he studied
law with Judge Harvey Button. He
was admitted to the bar in 1912, practic-
ing at Wallingford until 1865, when he
went to Rutland. He was the oldest
member of the Rutland county bar, and
in his prime was considered one of its
ablest members. He was one of the
organizers of the Republican party III
Vermont, and claimed to have been the
original suggestor of national Organi-
zation in 1854, which claim we have no
doubt is correct.
Judge Nicholson was one of the dele
gates to the national Republican con-
vention, held at Philadelphia in 1856,
that nominated John G.. Fremont. He
represented the town of Wallingford in
the Legislature two terms and was
Senator from Rutland county one term.
He had also been States Attorney two
terms, railroad commissioner two terms
and side judge two terms.
