‘*How’s bizness in town?’’ inquired the aged man.

A VISIT 10 THE MAGDALENS

Their Population, Indus- {ries and Requirements

A LAND OF CLEAR SKIES AND BEAUTIFUL TEMPERATURE.

A Primitive yet Noble Souled People

—Description of the Isles.

—_—_—

On landing we found the Vicar Gener:] of the Island, whose parish church is but a couple of miles away, awaiting us; and my companion, Rev. Dr. Chaisson, who had previously administered to the spiritual wants of Grindstone and All Right, found in every One of those yathered sround the place a warm frieod and weicomer. But calleches, a twe wheel carriage cor-~ responding to the Eaglish, fly awaited, us and away we ecampered over tbe billy roads of the Eastern Grindstone after a manner quite calculated to convince even the most incredulous thata Magdalen povy is the fleetest animal in the world, and his driver the most daring of Jehus. A runa- away engine in the Kicking Horse Pass, a toboggan started from the moon, a bicycle gone mad, could not have gotten you up to a higher pitch of nervous excitement than this Scots-Acadian lad, talking an energetic patois to his steed, angular aud ugly as he was, bat able to take a hill and put you down its other side with anything you ever sat behind. ‘ Smart old horse that,’’ we ventured to say wheo we were Janded on the strand at Arsenault’s store to await our frieuds so far behind. “Sure you dare, Father, that borse gotiwo minutes record on de Souris track,” was our team- ster’s rejoinder; and there was nothing left else to do then but return thanks for life and unbroken bones. This lad’s name was Patou, a forty-second cousin of your mers chant prince in Victoria Row perhaps, but certainly doing his broad Scotch in a French not unlike s Prince of Wales’ pro feesor. Whilst awaiting the Doctor who had succeeded in syllogizing his reverend com. punion intoa pace quite out of vogue in Island circles, we made the acquaintance of Mr. Nelson Arsenault, the king of the Islands, whose fame for open~heartedness had Jong gone on before. Soon our host, the Rev. Father Blacquiere, the young, clever and energetic pastor of the Church of the Magdalene House Harbor, came over the channel to give us that hearty welcome which isthe sincerest joy of the stranger. And lest anything should be wanting to fix our arrival in the record, we were speedily arranged aloog tne litile verandah infront ofthe store, while an enterprising Pictou photographer tortured us into Jooking pleasant iu three or four different attitudes. My companion and the Grand Vicar arrived just in time to be too late for this interesting Operation, and to overcome their envy it was necessary to call in the resourceful little Pictonian again, who, with his graphophove gave them io such graod style, “The Royal Emmet Guard,” as sung for ibe Grapho- phore Co., of Washington, LV. C., as to re- store to their featuresthe habitual smile for which they ave so well known. “Goodness gracious, that’s grand,” said the enthusiastic Vicar Generai, and our host having crossed the palm ofthe opera- tor with a crown, we hastened after him to the ferry and were pu:led over ia bis little ekiff against the swift rushing tide by a septusgenarian ferryman, Gil Richard by name, of yhom may the ‘ou of Erebus acc Nix never get the fertying when he puts out tor the Jact voyage; for Gil is a faithful and trustworthy boat- man, and, like another I know of some~ where East in this Province, is never par, ticular about naming his price if an at~ tempt at generosity is likely to bring him a triple fare. We were now on All Right Island within a mile of our destication with tbe stately church in full view anda roadway before us fit fora race course on the flat, hard, grey beach. A little jockey- ing again of drivers and we pull up before the hospitable Presbytery, where the cure of distant Amberst, tte Rev Father Theriault is ready to greet us, and, with his brother clergymer, arrange a pro- gramme of pleasurable events in which time flow on the wings of the wind. After time for mature refiection, we are now “om

himself as M. P. P. for Gaspe, been grant. ed the exchusive right of representation ; and by devices such as he alone could employ, Dr. Delaney, of West Prince fawe,

secured a majority of the votes and sat at Quebec last winter, ‘as first representative for the Magdaler.e islands. But his seai is by no means eecure. An election Jecision,on reserved

points is pending, andif Quebec judges are troubled with any of the scruples which obtained with our bench at the Hackett trial, the aoctor will not only the seat but be granted seven years of enforced seclusion so far as politics are concerned,— @ decision every decent man on the Island will rejoice at exceedingly. In the thrie priacipai l-jauds there are about 15,000 eres Cf arable land, 10,000 of which are inder cultivation, chiefly in hay growing snd the resteither available for such or ‘uitab'e for pasturage. Those islands are the property of a landlord named Ccffin, now resident in France, but the Legislature of Quebec, at a recent session, has made provision by statute for the buying out of their lands by the tenanis at a price arriv- sd at by the capitalization of the present rents, 20 cents peracre. Those rents are low and, although free 80 to do, as yet no very large number of holders have aken advantage ofthe law t9 become owners; indeed, from the bitter experience of the past inthis Province we doubt very gravely whether any such universal pure chase would bein the best interests of ibose simple people. There is much to be said on both sides of the peasant-proprie- tary question. In the Magdalenes, although tenant holders enjoy all the privileges of owners and, while they fulfil the conditions of their leages, are absolute masters of their Jands, the rents are, as we bave said, only the interest of the estim- ated purchare money. They are free from debt, and live industriously and economi- cally, There, as here in proprietary days, the Acadians ate model tenants. The merchants are caretul to give them no very extensive credit, because they bave to irust to the fishing for their pay. There- fore the unfortunate system of credit, unfortunate for bim who gives and him who takes, is not in vogue. The werchant is not anxiousto palm of his ehelf-worn goods, flattering his greedy soul that he’li reabize handsomely, ultimat 1); for can he not secure the hod ing Of his creditors and put him out of doors? The tenant knows that he must make bis fishing and tarming bring him in a living ashe has nothing which he can legally hypothecate to raite the wiod shoald he fall behind, an@ so both the mechanical and fishing com- munity are benetited,—the one prevented from becoming land-sharks, so masy of whom this country has hadia the past, aod so many of whom it bas today;and the other saved from the dire consequences of debt and eviction and the moral disorders which follow intheir wake. We dowbt thatthere are one hundred Aeadian farms of Prince Edward Island free from toe all devuuring mortgage today. L’[wpartial, (he Acadian organ of the Proviuce, =o truly said a year ago = “there wiil bea gradual deportation of our rage imuch more fai. -eachiag and terrible tan brat of 1755, if the present credit system 8 cootiuued.” This is true. Farm after tar is taken from its owner; house after bouse Joses its master; family after family is Shipwrecked on the cruel rocks of debt and penury, because of the credit giving of | our merchaats to a people whose miser- } ale holdings are a security to the exteot vf their value. We say that the babitant of the Magdalenes, in general, then, is a

pelled to say that no more enjoyable meet- irg could have been passed anywhere— one which even the wrinkles of care could not resist, and one which hae silenced for ever, I fear, the somewhat aspirate aad iterate syllogism of my learned travelling companion.

The group of Islands, knowa as the Magdalenes have a population of avout 5,000 soule. They comprise nut only the three old and well settied Islands of Am- herst or Havre Aubert, Grindstone, and A}l Right or House Harbour, and the small { Island opposite called Entry, but aleo | Grand Entry and Goose Isle, Byron Island aad the Bird Rocks.
