A mUd interest ii excited eyery year in the condition of the Canadian lepen when Parliament is called npoti to vote the aanoal â- am for the rapport of theae onfortnnate beinna. Bat a more popular intereat ia being created by the inveatigationa of two joornaUsti, who are preaenting all tiie facta oomiected with their dreary life and placing «n record testimony to the aaorifioing labora «f tiie gentle aiaten who miniater to theii bodfly and â- piritnal needs. Away np between the ooontiea of Gloncea- ter and NorthnmlierlMid, ia the Froyince of Kew Bmnswick, is a brokd bay, into which » noble riyer empdes, after draining with its aany Iiranohes the whole snrronnding country. This bay and the river, with the well- wooded district throni^ which it flaws, arelcnownaa the Miramidii, signlfyiagin the Mic-Mac tongue Happy Retreat. TidM â- eotion of the Province has passed throuf^ many strange experiences, the vicissitudes of ^nr, the devastat in g Uazs of fire but yet it remains one of the fairest spots in pic- turesque New Brunswick. Here is the leprosy-tainted parish of Tracadie, upon which a terrible scourge has been laid, but iHiich permits to a few devoted nuns an opportunity of exercising a self-sacrifice equal to that of Father Duden. Down by the sea stands the lazwetto of !Fracadie, the lepers' home and world, where the GnU of St. Lawrence forces its way amid sand bars and flats until it,spreads out into a peaceful bay, land-locked except on the seaward aide. A little arm winds round a point of land, and a small creek the more securely quarantines patienti* care ^imt There was ayoons French doctor practicm^ ontit««ppadte side of the bay, and he pro- nounced the disnann curable, and ofieied to become the resident phyddan to prove the truth of his view, but he was powerless either to rare the diaeaae or prevent its appearance. In 1852 a patient named Twigleyin a fit of desperation Immed the lazaretto to the ground, and, it being Ootolier, no new build- Sag could be erected that year. The lepen were now thirty-six in number, and they were driven to pass the Winter ia a house 32 ly 30 feet, iHiiohhad been oaed as a place of oerreotion for prisoaen who were oaable to obey the wdinary rules. It coir tained only t«ro apartments, and man and women were herded together in one uncared- for mass. Net the slightest attention was given to any sanitary arrangement, dothes were distributed only twice a year, and the clean ones were put on over the dirfy ones. The nnall atteatien they got was from one aaottier, and patients are known t6 have ZiAiir DXAD run days Once whea the Rev. Mr. Oauvreau thdr death, but a aister ia-law THB FATAL SPOT from the rest of the world. Over this creek a small wooden bridge is thrown^ the only connection between this tomb uid the brifrht world beyond. The surrounding region is dwelt ia by the tractable peace- fol Mic-Macs, f and one of the districts is known as the Bnmt Church. The frigate charged with conveying the remains of Wolfe from Quebec to England in 1769 was driven by stress of weather into Miramichi, and the accidental anchorage was thought favorable for secoring a fresh supply of water. Six of the crew were detailed to fill the casks from the springs with which the coast abounds, and, after loading their boat, they strayed off f »r a ramble in the forest, where they were cap- tured by the Indians and barbaroudy mur- dered. The Captain of the ship thought the deed was tbe work of his natural enemies, the French, and determined to be revenged. He Bailed up the river and poured a broad- side into French Fort, killing all the inhab- itants, and afterward destroyed the settle- ment at Canadian Point. Turning seaward, he burned the village and church at Ncqaan- al, and the region lying around the lazaretto is known as ' Burnt Church " to this day. This is a country rich in relics and remains of the old regime, and to this day the plow turns up the treasures of copper vessels with French and copper coins. The lazaaretto is a tqusra wooden building and is in no way a marvel of architecture, but looks like a slightly- built wooden bar- racks for temporary use, instead of a struc- ture designed to withstand the fierce Winter winds that come in from the gulf. The nuns in charge of the hospital are of the order of of the Hospitalieres of St. Joseph, and are a branch sent out by the Hotel DIen of Montreal, the rest of whose earthy existence will be spent at this lonely spot. One sultry afternoon in the Anj(nst of 1828 the Bsv. Mr. de Bdleieuille, a mission- ary prleat vidting Tracadie, was called upon to administsr the last rites of the Church to a woman aamed Ursule Landry, who was dylns of a mysterious and loathsome disease to wnich mme could give a name. Soon afterward she died, aad her coffin was borne to its last resting place on die shoulders of four of her countrymen. It was still in August, and the weather was warm. One of the bearers, a pojr fisherman, Francois Saulniers, was in hia shirt sleeves, and the coffin welshed heavily upon hia shoulder, cutting through the woolen garment into the bare flesh. From the edges of the rude coffin came a poisonous discharge, which inoculated the fresh wound of the pall bearer WITH THB TKRBIBLS POISOIT, and' he died a leper. The sister of Ursule Landry also fell a victim, and the wife of a Scotch resident of Newcastle, named Gardiner, was aimilarly affected, and aymptoms of the disease were developed lu their children. What the starange disease was BO-one knew no one had ever seen any- thing like It. A young phyddan from Miramichi pro- ceeded to Europe to attempt to find cases dmilar to these perplexing ones, and on a Norwayf jord he came upon a shunned and isolated oommnnity, a oouunonity of lepers, and then he could report that his country- men were afflicted witb that most hideous of all diseasesâ€" leproay. On Ua return he laid the matter baore the provincial author- ities, and a board of Health was constituted for the counties of Gloucester and North- umberland. This was in 1828, but nothing was done until sixteen years afterward, whan the diaeaae had spread to rach an extent that twenty persons were affected. There is an island in the Miramichi River, by the name of Sheldrake, and at that time it contained one small unoccupied house. It was purchased and became the first Cana- dian lazaretto. The wretched victims were BOJght out and conveyed in boats to the spot. A man and his wife were put in charge, who supplied the patinta with the bear necessaries of life. The misery at times became so unendurable that esoapaa were frequent, and once a woman, with a few weeks' old infant, made her way to the mainland, but she waa reoi4»tared and sent back to tiie hateful 'hospitaL" Next year tile lazaretto waa burned down and then rebuilt, Imt i« waa detsmUaed to eccct a quarantine station on the ialand and to remove the lepen to aootlier part of the Province. It was now 1849, and the number had in- creased in five yeaia from twairty to thirty- one. A new fmlldiBg had been ereoted at Tracadie, a few ndlas distant, and tidther the sufferers were conveyed, in boats, to a cheerless, oemiorUeeabail iing, thdr llfdeng hone. The B«y^ Mr* Ganvrean waa tiw ^dkmiSm tfAtfi ibitried bis utmoi* W^ ^eH^nAm to ghre in bed. waa summoned to adminater the aaoramenta to a dying girl he had to atep over a dead body ui the midat of the aleeping lepers, and an old patient still tells that the good father found the gbl in such a condition of filth that he took a sponge and washed her sores before giving her the last consolations of the Chnroh. In the Spring of 1853 the lazaretto was relMdlt, but the old prison idea a»s retained. Iron bars guarded the wbdow, high walls closed in the yards, and a guard was placed at the gate. The country was scoured, and those suspected of infection were driven by force to huddle with the rest. Dace it was said that a mineral spring flowed on Prince Edward Island, of which, if they would drink, they might be healed. The experi ment waa allowed, but it proved useless. In 18S0 an important chaage was effected when the lazaretto waa tranderred to the Dominion Government and became anbject to the department of the Minuter of Agriculture, which placed in the handa of the Sistera the entire administration of the money voted for the maintenance of the hospital. The yearly grant for the lazaretto U $3,000. $8jO of which b for the support of the nntia and $100 for the chaplain and $640 for the phyddan, who pays an oc- cassional visit. Of the sisters who came from Montreal only one has died in Tracadie, but two Acadian nuns died in iihe discharge of their duty from consumption. None of the siaters who have tended the patienta and none of the prieata who. miniatered to them have yet fallen victima to the diaeaae, but there ia a caae on record of a doctor who, in making an antopsy of a patient, became inoculated and died a leper. Writing of the contagionaneaa of the diaeaae. Dr. Tache aaya in hia report "I am aware of many inatances of the dis- ease appearing to be contagious in the ordin- ary eenae of that term. I mean instancea in wnich heredity cannot be invoked, and in which contagion ra the only cause capable to reasonably account for the propagation. The TYPICAL CHABACTEB OF LEPSOST, its general hiatory, and what I have aacer- tained in New-Brunswick leave no doubt in my mind about the contagiousness of the disease. I fifmly believe It is cemmnnioable from the diseased to the healthy. I do not think that proximity, no matter how dose, nor mere touch can convey the contagion there must be an adequate- contact of some kind, mediate or immediate. I hold contag* ion as the cause of the propagation of the disease, and in so saying I do not lose sight of the fact of occasional spontaneous production of leprosy." The total number of patients who have died in the lazaretto since it passed under control of the nuns is 76. There were 20 patients when they arrived. Since then 81 have been admitted, 41 of whom were wo- men. Eight years aga there were 27 vic- tims; now there are only 18, and it would appear that the number is deoreaaing gradu- ally, so that it is not imposdble tha« the terrible malady may eventually be stamped out. The visiting phyddan is Dr. A. C. Smith of New-Castle, who pays a yearly visit, and with that exception the Sisters have full charge of the management. All the lepers of Canada are by no means confined to this institution. There is another parish, in Northern New-Bmnswtck, which furnishes its quota, increadng each year. There are also cases in Nigouac, Tabnaintao, Pokmouche, Carsquette, and Shippegan. Some yeara ago there were caaea in Pmce Edward Ialand, where at leaat two patienta died of the uiamae. During thia year three oaaee were diacovered in Neva Scotia, and in iaolated country diatrcta other caaea are know to exiat. The greater number of the lepera are French, the Sootch come next, and the rest are EngUah and Iriah. There are few things more terrible than a vidt by night to the uzirette of Tnwadie, sad men are known to have fainted at the sight. One goes along a gallery into a ward thirty feet long and only eisht feet high, containing beds, benches and a stove. It is used as a dormitory for seme of the men, and is, beddes, dining room, living room, and smoking room. There the patienta are grouped, moat of them deformed out of all semblance of humanity, and the aepalchral cough HAT7NTS ONS FOB WBBKS afterward. One of diem is a young man named Nod, who waa earning a comfortable livlihood in the world as a woodman, but three great blotches like iron mold, showed themadvea on his legs, aooompaaied by a terrible drowdness. He had inherited the diaeaae from hia grandmother, though it did not make ita appsaranoe in the intervening geneHatfon. One (tf tlia female patienta is Mn. Saul- niers, who has been a leper for fifty years. She waalmn ia 1813 and maniad rt die ege ofniaeuen. After two diildren warn bom leprcaiy Waa noticed «0d three ware bom after tiiat time.

It is merdy a matter of tradition how leprosy waa brougnt to America.

F Uowing- the custom of the Indians, says the Portland " Or^pmian," a report of the fact was made to the miadidne man or dreamer of the tribe, who callad a hurried council and allored a number of picked men to the different avail able mnoes. Incantations were then held, wherein a certain harpoon waa blessed by the dreamer and banned to the hoa-ohin-i ca-lia or tlirower, with the warning not to let go from his hands except so ordered by the dreamet himself, leat their efforta in the chase ahould prove abortive. TIm liarpoon mi thia oocadon was con- stmctedof two pieces of elk hom, each about four inches long, a half inch in thick- ness one way, and tueequarters of an inch the other, elaboratdy carved, beveled at one end, and tne two joined together in the shape of a "Y" witn a sharp piece of steel fastened between them at the apex. To the angle of the liarpoon was woven one end of a rope alMut three-quarters of an inoh in diameter, and from sixty to eighty feet in lengtii, made from the sinews of a whale. The harpoon, when hurled, is fastened into a dot out in the end of a yew wood shaft from an inoh to an Inch and a quarter in diameter and nine or ten feet in length when the harpoon enters the body of the whale the two other pomts, which are aharpened, act as barba and spread, aecurely imbedding it self in the flesh, witJi the dnew rope attach- ed, the sbafo having dropped out from it* own weight. All the harpoons used by the Indians are similar in construutiou to the one described, but only the enchanted onea are embellished or engraved. The inoaptation ceremonies over, the dreamer seated himself in the st m of a ca- noe, and the boa chin- i-cs-ha, or thrower,- armed with the prophetic harpoon, which must be the first one hurled, took hia poai- tion in the bow of the same boat. They were then run through the auri by the members of the tribe who were to accompany them, closely followed by two other canoes fully manned. Which according to their instino tiona, kept astern of the first, but close at hand. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon their game was overhauled, and his heading Iwing oardully discerned the approach waa made directly from behind. It ia the habit of the whale when be comes to the aurfaoe to blow, to akim along the top of the water, appearinc thiee or four timea bi a few aeoonds. On hia laat appearance he throwa himself high in the air, turna hia tail to the donda, divea deep, and remaina down several minutes. This habit is well known to the Indians, and they can calculate to a nicety when he dives how soon and where he will again appear, and when he does so the leading boat is generally nob fu away. In a short time the first boat had approached within thirty or forty feet of the propoaed game, and the "dreamer," who, upon such occasions, is anything but asleep, fixed his practiced eye upon it to discover the aaepicious moment to give command, for only when the animal humps its back to make the diva is it even comparatively safe to give him the harpoon. The thrower, bared to the waist, stood, statue like, with abaft and harpoon lifted high in air, hia eara alert for the command, " Latah I" or throw, for well he knew if hia instrument failed of ita mark he would be deposed and aome other appointed to his honored position. Hh had killed hia eighth whale, and hoped to hold hia poaition for the remainder of Ida daya. Preaentiy the word came, and the bleaaed harpoon was thrown with unerring aim, and others followed in quick succession. At the same time the oarsmen Inched water with all their atrength to escape the grMt danger of being swrmped by the animal's tail. Six harpions, with lines attached, were sncoem- f ully thrown into him, and the whale, goaded to madness, laahed the water into foam with his huge tail, not preventing, however, the canoemenfrom binding one float line after another together, and soon the three oanoes, tied to the line at intervals of two or three hundred yards and drawn by the monster of the sea, were aailine through the water oceanward at a fearlnl rate. The float line ia made of cedar bark, twiated like "factor work" into a rope about an inch and half in diameter. To thia Ibie, at apacea of twenty or tnirty feet, are atUohed air-floats made nrom the stomach of a common hair seal and much resemblbig the bladder foot bJI of "ye olden times."
