Eighfr Years Ago.

fSong of the N. O. Fillmore Rangers-Air, I'm the
Days when we went Gipsying'
When the stars and stripes first kissed the light, some
eighty years ago,
Our fathers staked their lives and homes to meet ty
rant foe;
Their hope was that If they should die theirchdren
might be free
And hoping thus, they met the fray, and died for lib
erty.
Chorus-Thus, side BY side, for us they died, nor
north nor south did know,
Whenthe stars and stripes first wavedaioft some eigh
ty years ago.
And, now that flag o'ershades US nation great and
free;
IT'S priced as well on northern lakes the south
sea,
Yet traitor hands are stretched alot tear that flag
twain,
Above the graves in which, for them, their maryred
sires are lain.
Chorus-Those sires of pride, who bravely died,
north nor south did know,
When the stars and stripes first waved alof, some
eighty years ago.
So, brothers, tbs duty to crush that traitor
band,
And see our flag maintained unrent all this glori
Gus land;
With Fillmore for our leader true soon all the world
shall know
We're ,oorfy sons of those who fell eighty years
ago.
Chorus-For, side by side, wen onward stride, nor

THE MEXICAN PRIESTHOOD.

President Commonfort, says the N.
Y. Evangelist, is engaged in the most
important and sweeping reform ever
undertaken in Mexico, in secularizina
the Catholic Church, and dispossessino
it of some of its ill-gotten treasures
The difficulties which have obstructeC
the progress of that State hitherto, are
to be attributed mainly to the over.
whelming power Of the church. The
governments which were not pleasing
to the priests had no stability. Where
there were two parties contending fol
the supremacy, whichever the church
inclined to, succeeded. The hierarchy
is overwhelming. The arch bishoD
has nine bishops under him, all having
cathcdrals and chapters, except the
Prelate Sonora-with 1856 prebenda.
ries, and canonries, 1,200 parishes and
a regular and secular clergy amount
ing to 10000 persons under his com
plete dominion. OF the regular clergy
$500 reside in the capitol, and tho Or
dcrs of the Dominicans, Franciscans.
Carmelites and Mercedarians, possess
$50 converts. Thc salary of the arch
bishop is $4,000 per annum, that of
the Bishop of Puebla was $4,000.
The remaining bishops receive altoge-
ther about 5000, 900 more. The Sig.
nor Lendo de Tegada, who is now at
the head Of the finances, asserts that
the real property of the clergy is of
the value of from two hundred an d fif-
ty to three hundred million of dollars.
In the city of Mexico, containing five
thousand houses, worth eighty million
of dollars, the church owns one half,
and the income has been estimated by
the minister at twenty millions of dol
lars. Waddy Thompson, our former
minister at Mexico, was of the opinion
that one quarter Of the whole country
belonged to the priests. The quantity
of gold, silver, and jewels in the chur-
ches is great enough to pay the whole
foreign and domestic debt. A single
balustrade, about three hundred feet
long, in the cathedral Of the capital, is
supposed to be worth a million of dol
lars.
