An Old Gun.

A relic of ancient days may be seen
in the window of G. Louis gun shop.
1t is an old musket, originally flint
lock, but now altered to percussion,
brass mounted, and having a 62-inch
barrel, of between 10 and IL gauge.
The breech is stamped in three places,
one desigl being a large crown, the
others smaller crowns, having under
them the letters G and Y espectively,
Save little outside corrosion, the
piece is in very good condition, is not
as heavy as its great length would lead
one to expect, and is well balanced.
The sportsmen who a,e striving to
create the best "all around" gun might
get some points from an inspection of
this old veteran It can carry several
handsfull of small shot for snipe. etc,
enough slUg5 and buckshot for deer or
bear, while its great length suggests a
feature hitherto overlooked by en-
thusiasts in the evolution of the "all

hility as tsh-pole when gameis shy

weapon was brought in for some re-

| Of Greek cross, with an emerald-green
dome in the CENTER and cupola sur
! mounted by bell-tOWer Sitka was for
! years the seat of government in Amer
lea for the Greek Church, the official
! Russian religion, but this honor is now
! enjoyed by San Francisco, where there
is church maintained for the few of
that faith to be found in the city at the
Golden Gate.
The fittings of the church were pre-
sented to it by tho Empress Catherine
and are very rich and costly The most
interesting portion is the chapel, which
occupies one wing of the edifce. It's
appointments are very magnificent. The
chancel is raised, and is reached by three
steps, leading to four DOCS, two OF
which are carved and gilded and orna-
mented with baS-rciefS. Above 1t hangs
a fine painting Of the last supper On
either side of the chancel are paintings
of various figures. One of these is Of
the Madonna and child, work of art in
every respect, The drapery of the figure
is silver and the halos surrounding the
heads gold, leaving nothing of the origi-
nal painting to reach the eye but the
faces and background. Ihe effect is
most peculiar and striking. Other fig
ures are covered with silver in a similar
manner. The great candlestick, can
delabra and ornaments are Of solid silver.
The doors of the chapel generally
stand ajar, and the courteous priest in
attendance willingly shows to visitors
the gorgeous vestmcntS and the Bishops
crown, heavy with pearls and jewels,
and explains everything. The foot of
woman is never permitted to cross the
threshold and thus profane this holy Of
holes.
Visitors are conducted through the en-
tire church, and are made welcome at
all services. The communicates are the
few residents of MIXED Russian b God
still living there and the natives who
cOnti1ue under the influence of the
priests. The chief element OF interest
the church possesses is the surprise with
which one is assaulted at finding so uneN-
pcctedly a church so richly endowed in
that far away corner of the universe,
and ones curiosity is naturally excited.

streams entering into them, the salmon
are crowded so thickly that the progress
of the boat is imreded by them, and,
should a southeast storm suddenly arise
at such seasons, the fish are driven on
the beach in innumerablG quantities.
One of the Russian naVigatOrS assured
us (lS67) that under such circumstances
he has seen the beach strcwn two or
three feet deep with stranded salmon.
Vancouver, has recorded that he saw
them in Burroughs Inlet cast upon the
beach in great numbers. This all
sounds, indeed. like fish store. but we
must not look upon it askance, as it ap-
pears in Government records, advance
sheets of which have been received
from the San Francisco Bureau of
the United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
The salmon fisheries have increased
very rapidly. In, 1887 eighteen vessels
were engaged in the traffic ana 100, 0C0
cases of salmon were exported. In 1883
the number of vessels had increased to
tw2nty-ei"ht. and between 3C0,0 AID
$50 900 cases were exported.
VIVA ing is also extensively carried on
in Alaska, and in 1887 forty vessels were
engaged in this business, six of which
were steamers. The total catch yielded
33, 26S barrels of oil and Ca, 200 pounds
Of whalebone.
One of the greatest resources of this
vast region is its forests, which are prac-
ticaIly virgin, The value of these is not
SO much appreciated now as it will be
later, when the wood supply of the Pa
cihc States, which is bong so wantonIy

At No. 1O1 Ottawa street, in the
city of Grand Rapids a modest bust
ness desk bears this sign:
"B. WAIT, LUIBER."
and promptly at O'Clock in the morn
ing sturdy old gentleman with flow
ing white beard sits down at the desk
to work.
Seeing his strong, square shoulders
and his clear, steady eyes, no one
would imagine that this pleasant faced
man had been through more of the ills
OF life than, perhaps, any man in
Michigan.
In 1897 Col. Wait bee. me interested

provinces. He was then a pros perous

was he imbued with thi- idea that he
spent night after night drilling men in
barns and out of-the-way places and in
seeing them properly armed.
The events of the Canadian rebellion
are now matters of history After I'M
dergoing innumerable hardships, going
without proper food and clothing in
the midst of Canadian wiiter, he was
finally captured by the British troops
shortly after thepattle of Short Hills.
When resistance was no longer pos
sible British officer demanded his
sword.
Colonel Wait Refused to deliver it.
A motion was made to tie soldiers,
but the Colonel saw It and, drawing it
from his scabbard, hesrasped the point
with one hand and wa, about to break
it over his knee.
Hold on, said the ofcer, you may
keep your sword.
He kept it. however, only a short
time Then he gave it toa friend, who
secrcted it in q stump. Years after
ward he made persistent. search for
the weapon, but it was nevel found.
Shortly after Colonel Waits capture
he was tried for high treason, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged on the 25th
day OF April, 1898, at l p. m.

her husbands life. Taking young

was near at hand when she received
the important document.
Stage horses were driven faster than
they were ever driven before, and
steamboat boilers were crowded to their
utmost limit.
On the day set for the hanging the
steamboat bearing the faithful wife
was far out on Lake Ontario. The dock
was reached at 1880 and friendly
sheriff appropriated fast horse which
farmer was riding, and reached the
jail in time
Colonel Wait was then transported
to Van Dieman's Land for life, aud
was there employed in rough convict
gang Being man of intelligence, he
finally secured ticket-of leave. He
was allowed, however, to work only IN
a district twelve miles square. ~
After many months he, together with
several companions, made arrange
ments with the captain of an American
boat to pick them up out at sea, and
one dark and stormy night they put
out in an open boat,
The vessel missed them in the dark
ness, and they drifted in their open
boat for thirteen days, having nothlng
to eat but the fish they secured from
the sea. At last they were picked up
by the same captain with whom they
had made terms.
The ColonePs troubles were not over
yet, for the vessel was wrecked OF the
coast of Brazil, and it was many
months before he saw his home again.
Tn tho meantime a. pardon had been
secured, and he was free man again.
Worn out by her exertions, however,
the heroic vie died the following
year.
Colonel Wait has always been prom
inent in lumber circles in the North
west, and has made and lost fortunes.
He was the first editor of the Lumber
mans Gazette, and for several years
one of the owners of the northeast tern
L2tnlbern0n, published In Chicago.
