Maginn.

Blackwood set high value on Ma.
ginn contributions. There is one pc
culiar excellence" he writes. 'in this
writer which strikes us Scotsmen-his
easy. idiomatic English. No Scotchman
however practiced as writer, is mas
ter of the English tongue SO as to be
able to write in this way" But he new
err ventured to impart this opinion tt
the voluble and irascible North.
Maginn was a brilliant but unman
ageable creature. He soon drifted away
from Maya and devoted himself to it,
rival and imitator, Fraser's. When his
habits had brought him to premature
grave, Lockhart wrote his epitaph in q
score of juggling rhymes:
Here, early to bed, lies kind William Maginn
Light for long was his heart, though hi!

Among our pack mules was one who
on fishing trip several years before
had visited this very locality in which
we were encamped, but she had come
the previous time the straight route
over the mountains What was our
amazement one morning to find this
mule gone and with her two of her
comrades, whom she had evidently led
astray, Hunt high and hunt low, we
could not find them, and after wasting
several days in this fruitless search. we
set out for home. Upon arrival there ne
were surprised and delighted TO find
that the mules had preceded us The
old mule had at once recognized her
previous camping place, changed though
it must have been by the severe storms
to which this region is subject, and had
determined in her wise old head to
strike out for home Immediately with
out waiting for the formality of carry
ing pack. and this she and her com
panions, i'll advised but evidently not
misguided, did, not following the trails

THE FIGHTING GURKHAS.
Something About the Men Who Win Som
of Engiands Battles.

Something About the Men Who Win Some
of Engiand's Battles.
The Gurkhas, to whose yalor we owe
so much on the Indian frontier, are not
afraid of death in any shape or form,
have the instinct of instant and unques-
tioning obedience to orders from supe-
riors and take an actual and physical
delight in fighting. 1t is IA popular error
to suppose that they are without caste.
There are about 10 different castles
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-
tenn to interfere with their comforts and
will eat and drink freely with Euro
peans and among themselves. They have
no objection TO taking pull at Brit
ish soldiers flask and will share a
"chapati" with the most mental camp
follower They will gladly take cigar
or tobacco from European, but on no
account must a man of one caste smoke
in the company of another.
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 Monaghan women. One would
imagine therefore that in process of
time distinctly new type, combining
the leading characteristics of both races,
would have been evolved, but as mat
ter of fact the vast majority of Gurkhas
are either Aryan or Chinese in their
cast of countenance. Europeans 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
slight 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 boards and
their mustaches, in spite of much care,
never attain luxurant growth, to
a casual observer Gurkha regiment
appears to consist of boys, not men. 1t
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 At
CHAN army was driven headlong from
the Peiwar Kotal.
The colonel of a distinguished regi-
meht used to tell story of Pathan
who had travelled long distance to get
q glimpse of the terrible soldiers that
had defeated his couItrymen. When he
saw the little boyish looking Gurkhas
standing guard at the Bala Hissar, be
committed suicide "for very shame, y
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.
