The name "Isle au garce," found in the plan of the river, is not easy of explanation. "Garce" may possibly be a misprint for "grace," and the name "Isle of grace" would harmonize very well with the French missionary's visit and religious services in October, 1611, but Placide P.

It may be asked how, in the ordinary regulation and government of a community of this kind, the individual and common elements are to be made to harmonize? The answer is, that the one at the head of affairs must be a true Paulist that is to say, keenly sensitive of personal rights as well as appreciative of such as are common: where the question is not a point of rule, its decision is ...
