This was about one-twelfth of the entire
population Of the five States in 1880. The
proportion has probable increased during
the last SIX years. What proportion of these
British Americans are French cannot be de-
termined exactly, but it is very large indeed !,
so large that the figures undoubtedly give a
fair idea of the abundance of French Cana
dams in the five States. For Maine the CEN
sus gives no returns.
These people, with their own newspapers
and their own churches, realize that they are
becoming an important element. But the
older ones look upon themselves as exiles,
rather than as the conquerors OF new
country. az some Of the papers back in Cana
da boast. Several leaders in Massachu-
sets, who have given the subject attention,
are exertmg themselves to draw the French
back to Canada, that there, in their old
home, the people may build up a New France.
The agitation has begun in Lawrence and
Lowell. About two years ago numbero of
men sent agents to Canada to sec what steps
could be taken to start such a movement. BY
advice of members Of the Jesuit order they
purchased 10000 acresof land in the Lalievre
and La Rouge valley Of the PROV ice of Que
bee. Here they intend to found communities
of French Canadians from New England.
The Portland daily press., 1886-09-16

One hundred families in Lowell and Lawrence
have announced theirintention of going back
very soon The Jesuit order have promised
to send one of their most eloquent members
to New England atan early day to explain
the advantages Of the new settlement. In
Lawrence a club has been organized for a
year for the purpose of assisting such Cana
dians as desire to return to Canada. But
this movement is receiving little encourage
ment except among the old people. The
young men who have grown up in New Eng
land are satisfied and are doing well. They
win probably remain and become New Eng
landars

QUE FRENCH CANADIANS.

A movement has begun among the French
Canadian inhabitants of New England which
may result in considerable migration of
these people back to Canada For some time
the increase of the Canadian French popula-
ton in New England has been matter of
interesting comment, both among tie native
born people Of New England and the French
themselves Not long ago a French Canadian
newspaper of Lower Canada delighted its
readers with prophecy of the conquest
which their race is to make in New England.
The subject was suggested to the mind of
the Kanuck editor by the death of q certain
woman. Marianne Leveillce, who departed
thls life at the age Of ninety-one years, after
having left ito society five hundred and nine
teen children and grandchildren, Of whom
forty-sx are Of the fourth generation, three
hundred and eighty Of the third generation,
eighty-three Of the second generation and
nine Of the first" There is no doubt that
the French editor was right when he assert
ed that such record as this would create
.'wonderment in Yankee households. The
conclusions, however, which he deduced
from this instance Of the vigor of the French
Canadian race will entertain rather than
alarm the people of New England. In fifty
years, according to his bold statement, the
most of the States of Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Connecticut will be "Canadianized;" for
"the hardy race of the North is to pour from
its frozen loins into the country circumjacent
to it on the South, population which will
assuredly displace the. present decadent
and less persistent type of humanity"
This editor is evidently an enthusiast on
the subject of the prospects of bis people
Nevertheless the fact remains that there are
land, and that they are continually increas-
ing 1t is impossible to tell just how numer-
Gus they now are. Statistics of population
generally deal only with those actually born
in foreign countries, disregarding entirely
the numbers who, though born in this
country, still hold to the language and
customs of the land of their fathers. The
last census, however, gave for all the New
England States but Maine the numbers of
the people who were themselves born in
British America, or of whom one or both pa
rents were from there

The commander of the Canadian cruiser
Conrad writes to a Halifax paper from the
Bay of Chaleur that the entrance to the bay
is guarded so closely that American schoon-
er cannot enter without being caught. He
adds that hardly Yankee fisherman has
been seen in that region Only one has put
into Port Daniel, the harbor at the entrance
of the bay, during the whole season. Now,
according to the story of Captain Reed of
Boothbay, there is very good reason why
Americans do not go near Chaleur. he says
that he went into Paspebiac harbor to repair
and get water. Instead Of being allowed the
privileges guaranteed him by the treaty, he
was ordered to go to sea within hour 1t
would be interesting to know what excuse
can be offered for such performance
Captain Kemp, of the Provincetown schoon-
er, Pearl Nelson, gives similar experience
with the customs officers at Anchat, n. S.
He had been to the Grand Banks, where he
had lost one of his crew. 1t was about mid
night when he dropped anchor at Arichat.
Several Of his crew, who were natives of the
place, took boat and went ashore. The
next morning his vessel was seized for land
ing men before entering atthe custom house.
He was fined two hundred dollars, which he
paid. Then he asked permission to land
barrel Of flour for the wife of the man who
had persisted on the Grand Banks He Of
fered to pay duty on the flour, but the of
ficials would not let him land it on any con-
ditions Captain Kemp has arrived at
Proyincetown in a state of great disgust.
The fishermen are naturally asking how
long these actions are to continue, and
whether Mr., Bayard can devise no other
remedy than the total surrender of our fish
markets to the Canadians.
