coasts of North America were haunted by grave men in black or brown robes with cowls skull caps or looped hats on their heads and sandals on their foetf men with starved frames and pinched faces bat with eyes biasing with courage constancy and endurance These were padres bent on converting the heathen and adhering to that purpose in Hie face of hanger thirst cold privation contumely torture and death with a heroism for which I cannot find words of praise too lofty Let us tread for an hour the path which Kecollets Franciscans Jesuits Cnpucins and Dominicans 1rol in Canada Lou siana and California a path alternately aecked with flowers nnd spotted with blotches of blood Tilt CHURCH IN CANADA The first padres who went to Canada emigrated side by side with Huguenot ministers often crossed in the same ship ana enlivened the voyage with controversy A Huguenot and a priest happening to die together the settlers buried them in the same hole in order to see if tliey would agre in the same grave It was impossible not to respect the Jesuits With avenues of distinction all round them in France they bad voluntarily chosen a life devoid of social intercourse remote from every prize which ambition covets and almost certain to end in an obscure and appalling death simply to convert the heathen Superior a jeune spent a winter in a wigwam through whose cracks the biting winter winds blew and the snow drifted the gales tilled the tent with fnmes of sraofce so intense that the inmates had to lie flat on their faces witii their mouths on the eartli Breboeuf Daniel Davoust Joques Gamier and Lailemant paddled canoe 900 miles up the rivers to the Huron country They were barefoot for fear of injuring the bark canoes with their boots and at each portage the sharp stones pre stained with the blood from their foot Their only food was a pittance of Indian curn crushed between two stones and mixed with littie water Breboeuf a giant in size with stalwart limbs and a grisy mustache came of a high Norman family and had been a Knight of Jlalla He was an enthusiast und vv visions When the Iroauois swooped down upon his village he tried in vain to rouse the Hurons to self defense They ran away calling en him to join tJsTn With a proud smile the warrior priet replied Here tiie danger is I stiy nnd was swiftly seized bound tortured and done to death His comrade Gamier was also well born He was a beautiful beardless boy We have his letters to the Jesuit headquarters in Paris Send me he writes a picture of Christ without a beard several virgins und a number of pictures of the damned of souis in Miss one will be enough To La Jeure he wrote I want pictures of hell and souls in perdition If three four or live devils were painted tormenting a sou with different

they were effected real conversions Old Membertou refused to repeat the Lords Prayer unless he was attowed to add fish and deer meat fj the daily bread The squaws utterly declined to go io a heaven where they would not meet tho children they had lost A chief who was nearly converted recanted when he heard that there was no tobacco in heaven Hut in what page of secular historv can we lind

scholar if he iiad not joined tho Jesuits who ordered him to Canada As lie crossed laite Ieter in a canoe he was taken by the Iroquois he might havo escaped but he resolved to share the fate of two Frenchmen who were his companions Taken to a town of the Mohawks lie was knocked senseless his linger ends were gnawed off his thumbs were sawed off by a squaw with a shell but his life was spared and he was assigned to ft chief as servant Taken by his master to a Dutch settlement near Albanv he won the pity of tho kindly Protestants who lent him a boat to escape to a vessel in the river Before he reached the boat he was seized by a savage bulldog and crippled but the Dutch beat off the do and hid Joques in the hold of the vessel Here he lay for several days nntU the cowardly skipper afraid of offending the Indians cave him up His master noli lied him that the penalty of his attempt to escapo was death by fire But the blood of the sturdy Dutchmen was up over their ionic pipes and their usquebaugh they swore that they would not surrender the poor Frenchman and the Mohawk chief had to be content with one ax and a parcel of iackknives in his stead Even after his escape his perils were not ended The vessel in which he sailed from New Amsterdam was captured by pirates and he was tossed on the French shore a wounded tatterdemalion like enough to die In his rags he found his way to the Jes uit college at Rennes uts appearance fnrbiddtne that the porter refused him admittance until be said he bad news from Canada Homing lay so near io vu Jesuit heart as the Canadian missions the mass was cut short and the stranger was admitted to the presence of the suds rior who asked if he new Father Joques i ifm rofir vp1I answered the slrances from the higher clergy he returned to Canada He was ordered to revisit the Mohawk towns on the Hudson With the words I shall go and shall not return he departed with a clear admonition of his fate in his face He bad left behind him a small box This the savages knew contained curses which had caused an epidemic They caught the missionary in a wood tore off his clothes cut strips of skin from his back and sides and snlit his head open with a tomahawk In all that tribe where had baptised so many heathen and cured io many sick he hsd but one friend and this savage admitted with a little pride that In the course of a well spent life he had eaten his share of more than fifty men One of the few Canadian Jesnlts who died in his bed was Joseph Marie Chau nionot But he was always a favorite with the saints At ttfs shrine of the Holy Virgin at Loreto when he was sick hungry in rags and penniless an angel fed clothed and cured him and filled his pockets with money At one of the Huron missions a warrier tried to spit him with an arrow but St Michael parried the missile and disarmed the savage The story of the early church in Canada French conrentj these twoentnusiaatic women proceeded to Canada assumed the duties of religious life and never weaned in well doing When they were not teaching tits young they were ending the sick so that the name Drsulinenrn came to signify gentleness tenderness sympathy and love In the multitude of her labors in a strange climate Marie do I Incarnation became a vigorous clearheaded sensible woman of business Her role was strfct especially on the article of modesty tUK CUVBCB IN XOUISIANA The church In Canada antedated the church in Louisiana by nearly a century The first church consecrated by the Canu clhs in New Orleans dated from 1721 Before that time mission work had been done in odd spots by Jesuit and Carmelite Mass was solemnised in tne city oi New Orleans early In he eighteenth century by Father Montlmy a member of a noble French family Even before then Father Davion settled among the Yazoosand won the reputation of a saint It was known by the Indians that ho communed with the angels and when he died at a prodigious old age and bis poor body was found at the foot of an altar he had built in the woods with his head thrown back his bands clasped and his eyes cast on heaven with an expression of rapture the savages crept away with noiseless footfall for fear of disturbing his communion with God Pere de la Vento was a different sort of a padre He had a palo face and an emaciated body a narrow forehead thin compressed lips small gray eyes which looked as though they had been bored by a gimlet and shaggy eyebrows He never smiled he scowled He believed that the work of conversion should be carried on with pike gun and stake and was never weary of denouncing the Inkewarmness of the French officials There was no persecution of padre by Indian or of Indian by Christian as there had been in the north When the right time came the savages accepted baptism and called themselves Christians ever after In tbe year 1727 seven Indies arrived from France to found an Jrsuline convent as Mrae la Peltrie had done in Quebec Thev built a house in Conde street and treated the sick Natchez and Choctaw children For the support of the convent the Government assigned to the Ursulines a piece of land in the city of New Orleans with a frontage of eight acres on the river and the usual depth an estate which would be worth a fabulous number of millions to day It was part of the business of the Ursulines to take charge of tbe girls who were shipped from time to time from France to supply the settlers with wives The task was arduous as many of the prospective brides had graduated from the Paris prisons The nuns looked after them and locked them up carefully at night every morning the doors were opened bachelors were admitted to in IH amtieoc of flatboatmea and smug gUi ni rvi The dominant brotherhood in New Or leapvwas the Capudns the Jesuits having been axpelled 1704

Spanish Capuclnm arrived with the purpose of ousting him as a lukewarm ion of the church hey reported with disgust that ato his soup with a sliver spooa Mai if a wooden spona was not good enough for a

unreasonable penance It was said thathe did not know a word of Latin but he read missal and breviary glibly and even the Grahdlssimes were unfamiliar with the tongue of Virgil One who appreciated Pere Dago pert and yet was not illiterate was the famous savant Ulloa who was Oovernor of Louisiana for a few years In the middle of the eighteenth century Ulloa was reserved and his heart did not go out to tbe Creoles Father Dagobert listened to his scientific theoriei with inexhaustible interest and patience Ulloa was the man who being sent to sea in command of a man of war with sealed orders was so absent minded that he forgot to open his orders and spent his time in measuring a degree of latitude at the equator when he ought to have been fighting tbe English He was a bachelor ot 50 and one of the grievances which the Creole girls had against him was that ho never gave one of them a caance of rejecting him The grievance was embittered when a ship from Peru landed the belle of Lima the Marquise oAbrado who was the greatest heiress in her country and Pere Dsgobert in a new set of cononirals married her to Governor Ulloa After that savant and priest were more than ever brothers sworn

superior of the convent she was about to found she chose a nun whose life had been eventful Her name was Mario de llncarnatlon She was a woman of 40 who had been married and had a son a woman of intense religious susceptibilities a mystic of tbe passional school given to communing with Christ and the angels and prone to visions ecstasies and alternate periods of rapturous exaltation and deep dejection She was regarded as a person inspired whose communion with the Deity and the anf Is was very dose and when an angel standing on the top of an Iceberg beckoned to her and pointed out a field in which snow contended with fog she knew that God wanted her to go t6Canadarandahewent With another recruit enlisted from a 6iM spect the candidates for matrimony and to make their choice History

Governor who was at first disposed to he guided by the precedent sot by King Solomon but on reflection he ordered that the rivals should throw dice for her and thus perhaps a distinguished Creole family originated in a pair of double sixes Tbe Ursulines were Idolized by the Trench and Spaniards In Louisiana but hen the purchase of the territory opened tbe door to American scoffers a ribald theater manager put them on the stage The ubbess appealed to the Governor and he censured the performance in tit words of fndignant scorn but the play was repeated at tbe following season before an church mellowed serenely they did not allow doctrine to disturb digestion they always had a hearty welcome for monsieur le cure If the Creole was a scoffer ho was none the less a gentleman The

Claiborne who politely but very firmly refused to Interfere in the internal disputes of a church to which he did not belong He merely observed that tbe two padres were setting a poor example to their

the map of California from tbe crude engraving of California Isle In tbe Nouveau Voyage aux Isles de LAmerlque published in 1724 to the handsomely lithographed maps Inued by the Washington Land Office and the State Mining Bureau is almost as entertaining a subject for the humorist as it It a study for the geographer and historian Compared to the modern map which with its delicate contour lines itsaccurate detail and its geological flesh tints constitutes a kind of miniature of the State Those first attempts of the early navigators and explorers to record the topography of the country are as the caricature portraits drawn by schoolboys to the finest specimen ot the photographers skill For 300 years before such an important feature of the interior of tbe State as the San Joaquin river was shown upon any map with even apprc lmate accuracy tbe coast line of the State with that of Oregon and Washington had been repeatedly sketched upon charts by tbe early navigators and with surprising accuracy considering their ignorance of modern methods It was not until some years after the influx of the eold seckers not indeed until after the fever had measurably abated and the inhabitants had turned their attention from the placers to thV country generally that the topography ot California became known and was mapped During those three centuries however the chart makers and diagram drawers 8panish Mexican English and French were not idle Of ail tbe travelers and voyagers from Jimenez who in 1533 discovered the peninsula of California and thought it an island to the ingenious Liujenant Wilkes who in 1848 had the pleasure of transmitting to the National Institute a correct map from actual surveys and examinations there is scarcely a line of it that is at all correct there was scarcely one who did not return with bis little map carefully labeled as tbe only genuine and accurate one of California They usually took care also to add that the offspring of their fertile funcy was compiled from the most au thentic sources and the latest authorities Little wonder then that parties perished in Sierra snows and emigrants lost their way and starved to death on tbe scorching

giving wing to his geographical imagination and made no chart The first authentic diagram of the coast line is Sebastian Vizcainos of date 1603 He indented and named the promontories of a coast line of considerably greater length than was Known fqr many years to the Pilgrims who reached the New England coast some seventeen years later The bay Drake described a having nered in 1578 Vizcaino does not clearly show but ho has a double inlet marked at aDout the latitude of San Francisco bay which he probably intended for the latter All along the line he had sprinkled names in plenty Costa this and Costa that according to the way the topography of the coast appeared to him He named Cypress Point Point Pinos and gave Cape Mendocino the name it now bears From Vizcaino there is a skip to benor Font who made map of tho coast and a portion of lie interior at about tbe time Paul Revere was wearing out hore shoes Font was pretty accurate along the eoast though rather gnnerous in tbe creation of islands and harbrs but when it came io the interior he had presumably given credulous ear to Indian descriptions which he supplemented by contributions of his own A vast territory he covered with tulnres a natural mistake out of which he makes to issue two immense streamv the Rio de que He Viene No ticia por Garcia and the Rio de San Felipe which table amiably off toward the Eastern 8ates

latter has live smaller bays opening into it and from the position of Santa tiara it is evident that the whole system is intended for the southern arm of the bay Of its upper portion together with San Pablo and Suisun bays he was seem ingly ignorant The coast line also is much inferior to that of his predecessors La Perouse next undertook to show what Lower and Alta California looked like to a map

one ot these and lust behind it is the lizrd liice outline of a bay which of course is that of Kan Francisco La Perouse in the same year 1788 charted the bay region separately It ts a very creditable

Lying at his eae under a palm tree with a setiorita strumming a guitar at his elbow he listenadto the oldest inhabitants narrative of ihe discovery and exploration of California The oldest inhabitant
