by Earthquake Shocks.
ROME, Jan. 23-Several severe shocks Of
earthquake were felt here last night, which
caused panic. The inhabitants rushed
into the streets. many of them in dishabille,
not waiting to save any of their personal
effects They remained on the streets all
night. The theaters trembled. The ground
shook so violently that the street lamps
were extinguished. The Pope was aroused
by the earthquake. His Holiness was as
sured that there was no danger, or any pros
pect of any, and he thereupon retired for
the night.
The effects of the earthquake were quite
serious in the Province of Rome, which the
dispatches show was very generally affected.
At Genzano. town of about 5000 inhab-
itants, 1S miles southwest from Rome, on
the Appian Way, several houses collapsed.
The inmates had taken fright at the first
underground rumblings and had sought
safety in flight, and, consequently no one
was injured. At Civita Lavigna (the Lanu-

Rome, where there are number of Roman

passed away that morning. She was one
of the first victims of la grippe but was
convalescing rapidly when stricken down
with congestion of the brain from which
at times she seemed to rally, and hope re-.
vived, but with the coming of the new
year her young life went out. She was a
sweet tempered, pleasant home maker and
socially was highly esteemed and loved by
all her young friends, who will miss her
everywhere. The funeral was from her
late home Monday afternoon, Rev. i. p.
Booth of Mortified pronouncing words of
consolation snd comfort to the sorrowing
relatives and friends. The remains rested
in a rich black casket surrounded by
wreath of white roses and smilax; a love-
ly spray of Gala lilies were at the foot, and
on a rest near the head were many beauti-
full floral offerings. The bereaved hus-
band and family have the sincerest sym
pathy OF all.
Near and dear the tie that's broken
And our darling is at rest,
Freed from sorrow, pain and suffering
Sleeping now on Jesus breast,
We know not why she was taken
While we needed her so sore
But we know she's safe in Heaven
There to rest forever more.
How she suffered only God knows,
Mind and body racked with pain.
Now she's with her own dear mother
Oh, may we all meet again.
Yet we know she's lingering near us,
Watching DER us day and hour,
For we feel her presence with us
By the blessed spirits power.
We would not call thee back, dear Ida,
Though our hearts do break with grief,
To this world of toll and suffering
From that higher one Of peace.

Lowell's Poems.

No lover of books can afford to be with
out copy of Lowell's poems and perhaps
there is no more desirable form than the
"Household Edition. for Sl.75 published
by Houghton Mifflin q Co. A copy lies
before me now, attractive in binding, OF
good print, with portrait and illustration
and every way satisfactory. The book
opens at "The Biglow Papers" which are
as delightful now, as when written for the
Atlantic years ago and furnished so many
pithy quotations for that generation and
will for many generations to come. Then
there is the beautiful "Vision of Sir Laun
fal' and "a Fable for Critics" but one
can not particularize when all are good,
but for variety and breadth Of subject,
originality of thought and style, for "pith
and point" and wit and beauty it is ac-
knowledged by all that James Russell
Lowell stands first among American Poets.
