HORHCR3 OP THE GAUGES.
What a Traveler Saw While a Host of
Natives Were Bathing.
Describing a great holiday at Cawnpore
the last Sunday in May a correspondent of
the Times of India soys: The road to each
bathing ghat od the Gauges was filled with
a stream of natives in their gayest dresses
koir.g to or returning from the bath, which
Is the first religious duty of the day. Men,
women, children, horses and dogs were all
in the water together, while on the banks
were devotees engaged in prayer and ('thel*
religious offices. Scarcely a 100 yards above
the bathei'B and at the edge of the stream
was a group of six large vultures and two
long-legged scavenger birds. The vultures
were pulling at an objeot which appeared
above the water, while the other two birds
looked on.
lhe object, on close examination, proved
to be the body of a full-grown man, who
had very probably died of cholera on the
samo morning, arid had been hurried to the
nver without the ceremony of burning. A
hundred yards below the bathers was an
other fresh and unburued body stranded
sums three feet from the water”s edge, with
its attendant party of vultures, which were
just beginning to feed. Half way betweau
this body n d the bathers lay a partly
urued body that had been in.tbe rivar some
line. It seems to be nobody’s business to
remove the drifting bodies from the neigh
orhooa of bathing places; the vultures and
the crocodiles are supposed to do all that is
necessary,
Bodies of persons who bad died of snake
to are also put into the river without
ourntng, owing to a belief that the Gauges
ater may possibly revive them. Cholera

Bet His Last $43 oa a Lorsa Race and
Lo st It.
From the ,\ei c York IV’or.'d, 1
One of the most interesting men 1 over
met in the judge’s stand was Gen. Grant.
The popular impression of Gen. Grant is
that he was singularly reticent, but I found
him to lie pleasant and communicative.
I met him first when he was returning
from his trip around the world. He had
been through Mexico and stopped in New
Orleans on bis way home, and was the guest
of \\ alter Fearo, who was minister to Greece
under President Cleveland.
As president of the Louisiana Jockey
Club I invited Gen. Grant to come out and
see our racing.
4 ‘The newspapers have been attacking me
a great deal on account of my love for
horses,” said he, “and perh ips I had hotter
not go.” I told him be was no longer in
office, and lhat there could be no harm in
his g ring, tie finally consented, nnd was
driven out to tho track by L. Choppin, presi
dent of the Boston Club. I invited him up
into the stand, and he chatted very freely.
“Do you know,” said the general, “that I
never hear of racing that I do not recall my
experience in New Orleans in 1844. At that
time I was a young lieutenant stationed at
St. Louis. I went down to New Orleans to
visit James Hewitt, and one day I accepted
an invitation to go out to the track and see
a horse race.
“1 do not remember the names of the
horses that were running, nor do I recall
the distance of the race. I only know that
I was standing watching them When I saw
one, a gray horse, about 300 yards in front
of another.
“The excitement of the race overcame
me, and I enuthusiastically yelled out, ‘l’ll
bet S4O on the gray horse.’ A gentlemau
standing beside me said quietly, VII take
that bet.’ I reached down to get my money,
when be said in a courteous way, “Your
word is sufficient, sir.’
“You can imagine my feelings when a
few moments later my horse began to fall
back and the other horse to move up. Pres
ently the other horse pressed the gray and
won very easily. Then I felt in my uocket
and found that all the money I had in the
world was just S4O. I gave that to the gen
tleman who had won it and went back to
Mr. Hewitt’s very much crestfallen.
“I was ashamed to tell Mr. Hewitt I had
been such a fool os to lose my money on a
horse race, and I knew nobody else from
whom I could borrow, and i wanted to go
back to St. Louis.
“One day I was walking along the wharf
wondering how I wis ever going to get
hack home, when I saw tho steamer J. M.
White unloading. 1 know this was a boat
plying between St. Louis and New Orleans,
aud a brilliant idea occurred to me. Why
not see the captain, tell him my story and
ask him to trust me for a passage.
“ I at once went on board aud asked for
the captain. I was told he was in the
barter shop, and would be out in a few
minutes. When the captain came in I
said:
“ 'Captain, I am Lieut. Grant, and
I want to get to St, Louis, where I am sta
tioned. I have no money.’
“‘I shall be delighted to have you, lieu
tenant,’ replied the captain. ‘The boat
leav-sto-morrow afternoon at 5 o’clock;
come aboard whenever you wish.’
"I have never forgotten that race, and I
have never forgotten Capt. Swon’s kind*
ness.”
