=Carheil, Étienne de.= A Breton, of noble birth. Came to Canada as a
Jesuit missionary in 1666. After two years spent at Quebec, left in 1668
for his mission among the Cayugas. Spent a number of years there in a
zealous but largely fruitless effort to convert the Indians to
Christianity. In 1683 sent to the Hurons at Michilimackinac, and
laboured among that tribe for many years. Finally returned to Quebec,
where he died. =Bib.=: Campbell, _Pioneer Priests of North America_;

=Carignan-Salières.= The first regiment of regular troops sent to

employed for some years in the service of the king of France, and after
the peace of the Pyrenees, was regularly incorporated in the French
army. Fought against the Turks in 1664, and ordered to America the
following year. With the original regiment was incorporated the fragment
of a regiment of Germans, the whole under the command of Colonel de
Salières. The regiment served with distinction in Canada until 1668,
when it was ordered home; a large number of officers and men, however,
remained in the colony, where they were given generous grants of land.
The regiment was reconstructed in France, and under the name of the
Regiment of Lorraine existed until 1794. =Index=: =L= Gives strength to
