Our Protestant exchanges and many secular
papers, when discussing the immense loss an
nually sustained by the State on account of the
exemption of church property from taxation,
try to make it appear that the Catholic Church
is the greatest gamer thereby. This idea is
completely exploded by the recent returns of
the New York City Commissioners of Assess
ments, published in the New York papars of
the LIST inst. We find there that the total
value of church property in the city of New
York is $3e, 140,5Oo. Of this property the Epis-
copalians own $1,000, 900; the Catholics,
&c. $4,000; the Presbyterians, Sc s74 900; Dutch
Reformed, So, 4O1 900; Methodsts, 81, s1s 500;
Baptists, S2,432 600; Jews, $2,OO7 600, the
balance being divided among the many dozen
ant-Catholic denominations not enumerated
above. With regard to schools, however, the Ca
| tholic Church, which is every here SO anxious
to keep the masses in ignorance (as witness the
great universities of ancient and modern
times, many of which have been wrested from
her and now are the boast of Professionalism
has decidedly the advantage over all denomi-
nations com bned. Besides paying the tax for
public schools to which they cannot send their
children, the Commissioners show that the
Catholics of New York have accum ulated
school property co the amount of $2,476 900,
while the Protestants have only 81 033 900.

EARTH TO EARTH AND DUST TO DUST
By TEE REV. GEORGE cRoux. b L. D.


ny TEE REV. GEohGE cRoLg, u L. D.
" Earth to earth, and dust to dust j.
Here tho evil and tho just,
Here the youthful and the old,
Here the fearful and tho bold.
Bold no more, no moro afraid.
In one silent bed are laid;
Rere the vassal and the king
Side by side lie whitening;
Here the sword and sceptre rust
" Earth to earth, and dust to dust"
Age Cd age shall roll along
Ger this pale and mighty tbrong;
Those that wept them, those that weep,
All shall with tn ese sleepers sleep,
Brothers, siste 70 of the worm.
Summers sun and winters storm,
Song Of peace, or battles roar,
Ne'er shall break their slumbers moro;
Death shall keep his silent trust
- Earth to earth, and dust TO dust"
But day is coming fast:
Earth, thy mightiest and thy last
1t shall come in hear and wonder,
Heralded by trump and thunder
1t shall come in strife and toll,
1t shall come in blood and spoil.
1t shall come in empires groans.
Barring temples, trampled thrones;
Then, ambition. rue thy lust
- Earth to earth, and dust to dust"
Then shall como the judgment Sign,
In tho East the King shall shine,
Flashing from Heavens golden gate.
Thousands, thousands, round his state;
SpiHts with the crown and plume,
Trenble, then, thou sullen tomb,
Heaven shall open to our sight,
Earth be b0rnd 20 living light,
Kingdoms of the ransomed just
= Earth to earth, and dust to duet"
Then shall, gorgeous as q gem,
Shine thy mount, Jerusalem;
Then shall, in the desert, rise
Fruits Of moro than paradise;
Earth by angel feet be trod,
One great garden of her God
Till are dried the martyrs tears
Through glorious Thousand years
Now in hope Of Him We trust
= Earth to earth, and dust to dust"

"On Wednesday last" says the N. Y. Catho-
lie Reriew of the 10th inst, "there arrived in this
city no less than ninety German exiles They
are mostly ecclesiastcs. Twelve are priests,
sixty students of theology and fifteen nuns of
various orders The only charge brought
against them is, that they belong to reli gious
orders and have no right as such to remain in
Prussia. Some belong to very aristocratc
families, others served in the late war and bear
wounds received in battle Upon their persons.
These unfortunate and Innocent victims of
persecution arrived in this city by the steamer
Rotterdam, and were received by their fellow
country men with an enthusiasm which cannot
be very pleasing to Prince Bismarck. great
number of German residents of New York as
sembled at the pier to welcome them, and to
make them every possible offer of hospitality.
everal prominent citizens informed the Sis
ters of st. Francis, in charge of the Fifth street
hospital, that they would entertain the exiles
during their stay. The Daily Telegraph says
that one wealthy Jewish gentleman has under
taken to provide for forty of them. 81 am a
jew" said he, but hate persecution. My
people have had enough of that" The crowd
down by the dock on their arrival was very
great. They were Justify cheered aud shaken
by the hands, and afterwar escorted to the
Fifth street hospital and entertained. Thence
they went to the houses of the friends who will
accommodate them during their stay in the
city. After q brief sojourn in New York they
will 60 out West and take up their residence
amongst the thousands of Germans who have
settled down in that part of the country"

must OF coarse, be BIS old as that, and no.
body knows how much older. 1t is very
probable that this mysterious race may
have built these great works more than a
thousand years ago.
1t is very natural TO ask whether the
mound builders were the ancestors of our
present American Indians. 1t does not
seem at all likely that they we're, because
the habits Of the two races were so very
different. Most Indian tribes show moth.
ipg of the skill and industry required for
these great works. The only native tribes
that seem to have a civilization Of their
own are certain races, called Pueblo In.
daus (mcaning village Indians), in New
Mexico These tribes live in vast stone
buildings, holding sometimes as many as
5000 people. These buildings arc usu.
ally placed on the submits OF hills. aud
have wall 20 high as only to be reached
by ladders. The Pueblo Indians dres.
neatly, live in families, practice various
arts, and are utterly different from the
rowing tribes farther Dorth.
But, after all, the style of building o.
even the Pueblo Indians is wholly un
like anything we know of the mound
builders for the mound builders do mol
seem to have erected stone buildings, moi
do tho Pueblo Indians build lofty
mounds.
Perhaps this singular people will al
ways remain mystery. They may have
como from Asia, or have been the dc.
scendents of Asiatics accidentally cast on
the American shore. Within the last
hundred years, no less than fifteen Jap
anese vessels have been driven across Tho
Pacific Ocean by storms, and wrecked

THE Death OF THE LATE CHI

China newspapers inform up that the

made for grand festival in honor of the
Goddess Of small pox, when a quantity
of paper. offerings were to be burned in

relative to the Enperor's illness was
published in the Peking Gazette of the
18th of December, in which it was set
forth that Whereas. on the happy oc-

CASE or SUSPENDED AMI.
VI ALTON.

\ very >ipgular case of suspended an.
imation is reported from Yankton, Dako-
ia, by a correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune. The young wife of Mr.. Scott
Goodwin called physician so prescribe
Tor slight cold. a simple mixture,
combining a syrup and a quieting drug,
was administered. and she soon after felt
strange inclination to sleep. After a
few periods of returning consciousness,
she passed into breathless stupor, which
gradually assumed the characteristics OF
death. She was prepared for burial, but
it was noticed that the body did not be.
come cold. except at the neck and shoul-
ders, although the temperature out oI
doors marked % degrees below zero, and
the room itself. was almost as cold. The
limbs retained their hexibility and the
eyes were not glaring, but wore dreamy
expression.
These appearances-e especially as nc
sign Of decay was visible-made such al
impression on the spectators minds thai
the burial was postponed. The corpse
had been-at the date OF the correspond
cnt's letter-kept nearly week.
What adds to the idea that she is in 9
cataleptic state, or trance condition, i,
the fact, now told by her husband, tha
some months ago she dreamed that sh'
slept in trance in nearly the same man
ncr as she has now done. In this state
it seemed to her that, although not sick
she was deprived Of the power of speecl
and motion, but was able to hear ever,
thing that was sail hround her. At tn,
end Of fourteen daYs-as she dreamed
she awoke, having narrowly escaped
living burial Her singular and vivi,
dream has been actually verified in sever
ul particulars, aud the lady's friends ar
hopefully looking for her return to life a
the end OF about fortnight.
