THE FIGHTING GURKHAS.
iMMthla* About th. Maa Who Wla Sow
of England’. BatUaa.
• The Gorkhaa, to who* valor we owe
io ranch on the Indian frontier, are not
afraid of death in any shape or form,
hare the instinct of instant and unques
tioning obedience to orders from supe
rior! and take an actual and physical
Selight in fighting. It is a popular error
|t> suppose that they are without caste.
There are about 18 different castes
among them and several subdivisions in
each caste, but when serving in British
regiments and while on a campaign
Gurkhas do not allow their caste sys
tem to interfere with their oomforts and
will eat and drink freely with Euro
peans and among themselves. They have
no objection to taking a pull at a Brit
ish soldier’s flask and will share a
“obapati” with the moat menial camp
follower. They will gladly tike a cigar
or tobacco from a European, but on no
account must a man of one caste smoke
in the company of another.
AU Gurkhas trace their descent from
the Rajputs of central India, the Thap
pas and Gurungs especially claiming to
have the bluest Hindoo blood in India
running in their veins. They have,
however, intermarried for generations
with Mongolian women. One would
imagine therefore that in process of
time a distinctly new typo, combining
the leading characteristics of both races,
would have been evolved, but as a mat
ter of fact the vast majority of Gurkhas
are either Aryan or Chinese in their
cwt of countenance. Europetms general
ly suppose that all Gurkhas are squat
men, with broad nostrils, high cheek
bones and deep set, narrow eyes. This
is not the case. The Second Gurkhas
regiment has large numbers of Gurungs
and Thappas in its ranks who are of a
alight build, with beautifully chiseled
and sharp features, Aryans every inch.
* Gurkhas have one physical peculiar
ity—their stature is below the aver
age. As they do not wear beards and
their mustaches, in spite of much care,
never attain a luxuriant growth, to
a casual observer a Gurkha regiment
appears to consist of boys, not men. It
is on record that when Lord Roberts
was marching through the Kurram the
Pathan women and children came out
to jeer at the striplings whom he was
leading, as it seemed, to their certain
death, and they only changed their
opinion when, largely owing to the
heroism of these same Gurkhas, the Af
ghan army was driven headlong from
the Peiwar Kotal.
The colonel of a distinguished regi
ment used to tell a story of a Pathan
who had traveled a long distance to get
a glimpse of the terrible soldiers that
had defeated his countrymer. When he
saw the little boyish looking Gurkhas
standing guard at the Bala Hissar, he
committed suicide “for very shame,”
at least—and this is the best part of the
story—so the guard declared when asked
to explain the presence of the dead
body.—London News.
Sam Jone, and Talmage.
Sam Jones is the embodiment of an
audacity that sometimes tomes very
near the border line of discourtesy. A
clergyman who often assiste him in his
series of meetings told me the other day
this story in the early history of Mr.
Jones’ evangelistic work: He was in
vited by Dr. Talmage to hold a series of
meetings in the doctor’s Brooklyn
church. Mr. Jones went to Dr. Tal
mage’s home during the afternoon of
the day on which his engagement began
and introduced himself. Mr. Talmage
looked him over and was evidently a lit
tle taken aback at the rather shabby ap
pearance of the evangelist. As it ap
proached evening he said. “Brother
Jones, would you take it amiss if I pre
sented yon with a new suit of clothes?”
“Certainly not, ” said the accommodat
ing Samuel. He was taken to a clothier
and fitted from head to foot, topping all
with a high hat
At church the doctor intr<xluoed him
as the Rev. Samuel P. Jones from
Georgia. Mr. Jones arose with his new
hat in hand and repeated, “Yes, the
Bev. Samuel P. Jones from Georgia,”
and added: “And this is the new suit
of clothes and this the new hat your
pastor has presented to me. If your pas
tor had as much of the grace of God in
his heart as he has pride, he would con
vert all Brooklyn and would not need
me. ” —Homiletic Review.
Machin.
Blackwood set a high nine on Ma
ginn’s contributions. “There is one pe
culiar exoeUence, ” he writ js, “in this
writer which strikes us Scotsmen—his
easy, idiomatic English. No Scotchman,
however practiced as a wr ter, is mas
ter of the English tongue so as to be
able towrite in this way.” But he nev
er ventured to impart this opinion to
the voluble and irascible North.
Maginn was a brilliant but unman
ageable creature. He soon drifted away
from Maga and devoted h jnself to its
rival and imitator, Fraser’s When'his
habits had brought him to a premature
grave, Lockhart wrote his epitaph in a
score of jingling rhymes:
Here, early to bed, lies kind William Maginn.

Light for long was his heart, though his
breeches were thin.
But at last he was beat and soujht help from

Tribute to the Memory of Bor. T B-
Cooper-
Whereas, The great and supreme Grand
Master above has in His infinite wisdom
removed from among us one of our worthy
and esteemed fellow craftsmen, Rev. T. B.
Cooper; and,
Whereas, The long and intimate rela
tion held with him ia the faithful dis
charge of his duties, Masonically as well
ss religiously, makes it eminently befitting
that we record our appreciation of him;
therefore,
Resolved, That we recognize the divine
omnipotence of our Grand Master above
and cheerfully submit to the will and dis
pensation of His providence.
Resolved, That we will ever cherish in
grateful remembrance the uniform be
nevolence which ever characterized our
beloved in all his Masonic relations, and
while we commend his spirit to God who
gave it, and consign his body to the tomb,
we will ever cherish his memory here.
Bro. Cooper was a member of the Baptist
church. He was a devoted Christian, hav
ing served in the ministry for sixty-eight
years. He was a kind, affectionate hus
band and loving father—indeed, he will be
missed in all the circles of life.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the deceased
we express our hope that even so great a
loss to us all may be overruled for good by
Him who doeth all things well.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu
tions be furnished the family of the de
ceased, and that they be spread upon the
minutes of the lodge and published in the
Griffin Morning Call.
Resolved, That the jewels of the lodge
be draped in mourning, and that the mem
bers wear the usual badge for thirty days.
