TUB "Evans rifle"--the invention of a "Down-East" mechanic -is a weapon little kaqwn as vet, but poaaessing, in the wijler's opinion, much iMWjyjt thaft most of the mi "repeating" rifles. The mecl veryaimple of its kind, acd for rapid­ ity of firing it ja remarkable. Its magarine is constructed to hold twenty-eight cartridges, and all these can, if required, be discharged in about as many seconds thus concentrating upon a single point a perfect hail­ storm of bullets. During the late war between Russia and Turkey a number of these rifles wasplaced in the hands of a company of Turks, and they are said to have wrought astonishing execution. The purcmMiitf 60,000 of these guns were immediately negotiated for; but the downfall of the Porte Mid its financial collapse prevented the filling of the Writer. - The inventor has lacked the influence necessary to bring his gun into favora­ ble notice among military authorities; there is, too, at present a prejudice, well-founded it may be, against repeat­ ing rifles with military men. Buch weapons, it is held, le#d to a too rapid expenditure of ammunition, not much more than sixty rounds of which can be taken into battle by each soldier; furthermore, all these "repeaters," when subjected to rough usage, are to a certain extent liable to get out of order. But it is a great comfort to a man when brought face to face with a big grizdjy, to know that he has twenty- eight shots which he can send home in less than a half-minute. So our Lieut- Sanborn thought, at least, and h ipon ion lor his solitary wa Iks. our second year out himself with this wea; ere, he provided as a oompan jffR With the repeater on his shoulder, our chain-boy set off in high feather, readily promising to be back at camp by 4 in the afternoon, as ordered. He was a tolerably-obedient youngster, of Welsh extraction, from Kingston, Ontario, in his 16th year at this time, rather short of stature, but well-knit, with the usual auburn hair and freckles, yet bright and tractable in his duties, and always fearless. In fact, he had almost too much courage for climbing amongst the crags and precipices after horns;* his erase £ur hunting was drawback we found in him. ravine in which our camp was situated extended back among the peaks to the Northwest; and a «re*k, bordered by alders, wild Mm bull-berry bushes, came down the bed of it, furbishing us with a very handy supply of tolerably-good waster. Two Bailee farther up, a second ra- vinek or MKfS, branched off, at almost tigfel a*gltt, to the northeast, just past an enormous *eliff fully l,000 feet in height, oat from a shelf in the laoe-side of whieh grew a tall, slender pane and one of Jhe largest yellow-birch trees I have yet seeain the mountains. The cliff with these two trees was irirtur- esqua and peculiar; and we made uso of ttdslandmsrk as a point from which to ran several base-lines in our sur­ veys.

Fortanat̂ theva was high grass and a little fringe ot gfa^y alders aloag the brook. V ery oaimoasly the boy crept away, foot by foot, keeping a sharp eye over his shoulder as he crawled on his hands and knees. Gaining cover of a thicker ekunp of bushes, he mate for the foot of this crags, twelve of fif­ teen rods distant, where there was a dense growth of little pines over which towered two or three taller trunks. Here he thooght he might find safe covert, but hsd hardly gained it, when such a terrific outburst of growls and roars rose from the brook bank below, that he was filled with fresh alarm, thinking the beam were surely cm his track. Bat he soon discovered the true cause of the uproar, for, on peeping jDUt of the tluu ket, he saw that still an­ other very large bear, followed by three little cubs, had come out of a narrow ravine on the oppoeite side of the brook, and was approaching the two smaller bears that were eating the calf. A fight seemed imminent. "Let them* fight," thought Kenny, "and I will be ready to shoot the sur­ vivors." But the brutes contented themselves .with walking round one another and snarling; and the lad eonn became aware tnat there were still others snort­ ing and growling at no great distance. Wnere they were, he could not for some minutes asceitain, the echoes in the narrow rocky valley were so confusing. At length, chancing to glance upward through the pine boughs almost over his head, he saw two great bears look­ ing down off the crag which overhung the thicket. Thinking the two on the cragabove must have seen him, our young Welsh­ man was now in greater trepidation than ever. He cocked his gun and lay low in the brush, determined to open fire on the first one that showed its head through the boughs. >ior was his fear at all lessened when he heard the two bears clanvbering down the sides of the crag not far off, their nails scratching on the rocks. But both the ugly monsters passed the thicket some rods out to the left and went down to the brook, where the others were, for a share in the beef. There were now eight grizzlies in sight down there; and, from the story Kenny told us, it must have been an exciting spectacle to watch their mo­ tions as they dared each other to a con­ flict. The first three had left eating the carcases, and thay were all now walk­ ing round and round each other with arched backs and heads lamed sside ̂ as if in some sort of savage dapoe, and all to the sontfi4|f most agprible roar­ ing. Kenny states that they kept up this sort of challenging for ten or fifteen minutes; and he wondered that we did not hear the dm they made at oar camp, four miles below. Getting bolder, at length, he resolved to try the eflfeot of the repeater on tly» groups; but first, like a prudent Welsh Ud, he neletted a lha» for flight, to one of the larger of the shrub whioh he meant to climb if the should rush toward the thicket.
