LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Pacific arrived ycstcr-
day and by her we have some impor-
tant and interesting news. The ru-
norod fall of Kars, mentioned by the
previous steamer is confirmed. The
garrison weakened by famine and no
longer able to wait the slow approach
os Of Omar Pacho, had capitulatod,
thus giving to the Russians possession
OF the most important Turkish strong
hold in Asia, and enabling them to
close the campaign with u triumph Of
"hich they will assurcdly make the
10 ,st. The garrison numbering 5000
and commanded by several British Of
G'ors Of distinction, were supposed to
oAyo surrendered. From the Crimea
w@ have intelligence of an attack by
she Russians on the French lines. Its
results were unimportant. At Sebas-
#, u affairs remain as before reported.

The EARTHQUAKE Yesterday

The Earthquake Yesterday.
The severest shock Of earthquake ever ex-
perienced in this vicinity since the settlement
Of California by Americans, occurred yester-
day morning, at Just twenty-four minutes past
five o'clock In this city and vicinity every
building shook to its foundation, and in some
quarters the houses were swayed and rolled
as vessels in q heavy sea. The inmates Of
every dwelling were awakened, and some were
even thrown from their beds,so violent was the
shock Many persons rushed into the streets,
and but that the circumstances OF their sud-
den appearance was Of a character TO pro-
duce sensations Of terror rather than merri-
ment. the scene would have been most ludi-
crous. The large hotels were depopuated
instanter, and in the general rush articles of
furniture were thrown down, occasoning
noises which added considerably to the clatter
and confusion caused by the earthquake. In
the upper stories Of the large brick buildings
the violent motion produced q general com
motion among crockery ware. Vessels con-
tanning liquids were turned over, either by
the shock or in the hurry of the inmates to
escape Every disturbance was credited to
the earthquake, however, and it appeared to
be an almost unanimous impression that San
Francisco was about TO share the fate Of
Jeddo. The bowling of dogs, and fearful
believing Of cattle in the suburbs, produced
fitting accompaniment to the scene. Even
the pigs broke from their pens and ran away
grunting with fright. The horses tied in
stalls fairly sbrieked with terror, and tried TO
break their halters. Indeed everything an-
mate and inanimate was more or less affected
by the shock. We hear of some very re-
markable incidents OF birds seeking refuge
from the impending danger, by flight through
open windows. From night-watchmen and
others whose duties kept them from sleep we
learn that there were several slight shocks
previous to the heavy shock The last
shock was preceded by a sound as of heavy
gust Of wind passing through the cordage Of
a vessel, and the motion was accompanied by
rumbling noise like that which is produced
by heavily freighted vehicle passing rapidly
over wooden bridge. The shock occurred
at twenty-four minutes past five o'clock, APP
parently ranging from southwest to north
east, and lasted about fifteen seconds. The
motion was horizontal and undulatng.-
Some persons describe the motion as Of a
whirlip. aa',re, hvt this ccrld not have bean

THE STRANGER ON THE SILL.

Between broad fields of wheat and corn
is the lowly home where was born;
The pcach-tree leans against the wall,
And the woodbine wandcrs over all;
There Is Che shaded doorway still
But strengers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the barn-and, rs Of yore,
can smell the hay from the open door,
Aud see the busy swallows throng,
And hear the peewee's mournful song;
But the stranger comes-oh painful proof
His sheaves are piled TO the heated roof
There il the orchard-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours Of case
And watched the shadowy moments run,
Till my life imbibed more shade than sun;
The swing from the bough still sweeps the air
But the strangers children are swinging there
1t bubbles, the shady spring below,
With lis bulrush brook where the hazcls grow
Twas there found tho calamus root,
And watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave his wing
But the strangers bucket is at the SPRING
Oh, ye who daily cross the still,
Step lightly, for | love il still;
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
Then think what countless harvest sheayes
Have passed within that scented door,
To gladden. the eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with these orchard trees,
And when your children crowd your knees,
Their sweetest fruits they will impart,
As IL old memories stirred their heart
To youthful sport still leave the swing,
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.

A PRETTY WoMAs-The subjoined waif
we have discovered In an exchange:


"A pretty woman is one Of the 'institu-
tons Of the country--an angel in dry goods
and glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky,
Fourth Of July, and happiness wherever she
goes. Her path is one Of delicious perfume
aud beauty She is a sweet poem, written in
rare curls and choice calico, aud good princi-
Piles. Men stand up before her as so many
admiration points, TO melt into cream and
then butter Her words float round the ear
like mnsic, birds of Paradise, or the chime
Of Sabbath bells. Without her, society
wou d lose its truest attraction, the church its
firmest reliance, and young men the very best
of comforts and company Her influence
and generosity restrain the vicious, strength
en- the weak, raise the lowly, flannel shirt the
heathens, and strengthen the faint-hearted- -
Wherever you find the yirtuous woman, you
also find pleasant 6re-side boquets, clean
Clothes order good living, gentle hearts,
music, light and model institutions generally.
She is the flower of humanity, very Venus
in dimity and her inspiration is the breath Of
Heaven"
