SACRED ALIGATORS How They Feast on Babes in the Watera of the Ganges, The Snorafices That ars Still Made by Indian Mothors-Evile Be. yond Control of the Government, $Ban Francisco Call For a raco of peonlo who have long enjoyed the distinction of being the most civilized amony Asiatic nations, it is strangoe that the Hindoos shoutd 80 obstin tely cling to the teachings of thoir priests, whou that teaching but iuculeat's the advantages of idolatrous and blood-thirsty fioos, Thers are still ocher rites equally as horrible as that of suttes pracused though under the cloak of secre The sacratice of fomale childred 18 gencral, and for the provention of this evil most stringent me: ures have to bo taken. register is kept by the hea village a8 to the number and unmarried women, th marry, and those who are about to be come mothers. Notice of the birth of achild aud of 1ats sex muast bo imme diately made at tho kotwali, or polico station It the babe happens to bo a girl, woekly notico must be given of her welfare, or if attacked by illness, the nature of her disonse. By theso menxls the Government, in some shght measure, has preveated tho wholesule destruction of female children. Even now, in certain parts of India, the pro- portion of men to women is something incredible. About Ill and other d &- tricts in the Hi va Mountains, one woman is frequently wife to three or six brothers, and lives in perfect har- mony with all her spouses. When 1 was travelling through this trace of country, I often made inquiry of the women why it was that THEY HAD NO DAUGHTERS, and their response was always in this wise: “‘God is great; Ho has blessed me with sons.” Tho British govern- ornment has, of course, put down the practice of crushing people under the wheels of the great juggernaut cars For startling obecenity of design and wondrous wooa cutting, nothing can equal ono of theso hugo vehicles They stand between forty and ity feet high, are beantifully carved, the figures standing from out the sides, front and back in bold relief. Therr wheols are huge, roughly cut, and of solid wood, without spokes, and from two to three feet in thickness. The figures and scenes represented are taken from the Hindoo mythology, and are gross'y indecent. These car- ringes aro gen rally kept, by order of government oflicers, in secluded parts of the village, whero they excite the admiration of the curious traveler and the devotion of the devout Hin- doo, Thoso cars were dragged by human beings, and under their pon- derous wheols were thrown women, children and babes, often aged men; but seldom, 1 am informed, did young men saek their death thus. It was generally the hale and hearty of the cummunity who volunteered their strength to drag it through its mur- derous course. Themild Hindoo fail- ing to follow, in one respect, his fear- ful raligion, has recourss to other life- destructive methods. All animalsand reptiles, especially dangerous to hu- man life, aro worshipped, Snako- worship is commout throughout Indi but it is not this reptile alone that re- ceives the tender caro of the priest hood. THE TIGER OF THE OCEAN, as tho alligator is poetically called by Hindoos, 1 reverentially worshipped, and is often regaled with a tender feast of young humun flsh, Alliga- tors are numerous in all the rivers of Hindostan, but_especially o in the Holy Gunves, upon whose banks live the devoutest of Hindoos, and who regard these reptiles with great devo- tion, The Ganges is a noble stream, and in the rainy months resembles more an ocean than an inland river. T have seen the Ganges, 1,000 miles abovo its mouth, so broad that it took me half a day to cross, and so rough that a good-sized ship was being tossed abut liko a pwper boat. To show the wvenoration in whict its waters aro held, T may mention that all the law courts in India are provided with cups of this sacred water, on which Hindoos are sworn, Ivis a common occurrence to see in a law court a Christian being sworn on the Bible, a Mohammedan on the Koran, and a Hindoo on Ganges wator. Everything that lives in this water is holy. ~ The being who meets death inits waters must gain Paradise. To the Hindoo thore can- not be greater happiness than to die “in the arms of Greay Gunga, Mother of All Good, tho Refresher of Thirsty Fields, the Beloved and Adored by All Mankind " And so alt her chil- dren must be adored, b-loved anl re- spected. Tt is sinfull to kil anything that lives in HER EMBRACE. It is meot and ngut o feed and make sacrifice to her otfspring, Those Hin doos who aro permitted to eat fish breed thom in tanks, but eat not of river fish, for it would bs to cat the goddess herself. There aro variou« shrinesdedicated toallizators, at which )laces these hideous are f 51 was not a great whil othat many a Hindoo mother would come wi'h her girl babe in herarws and finyg her to the aliigators, and hear her dea cry, and sov the blood of her off:pring discolor the blue of the sacred stream, and then enter the temple hard by, and, with tearless eye, thank her God for giving her ¢ouraze to sacrifico her babe. It cannot be done now so openly. The British law court, would surely indict such & woman for williul murder. But the sacrifice is mado in other forms, Tt is an act of devotion to bathe in Guuga's waters, and to this end, in the giay of early morn ing, the numerous Hindoo mothers, marricd with their children, flock ro . the stream, At thuse bathing poiuts, called ghats, always found nu merous alli 18, but which, on ac- count of bewg o well fed by t preists thero 1esiding, ravely uu.uh tho bathers. High on the river bauk i3 the temple ; leading to tho waters edge is a flizht of broad and low stairs ; at the bottom is a slono plat- form where stand the bathers and per form their ablutions as wcll as say abou to | rlv their morning prayers, At sbout five | A M. theso ghate aro crowded with 5 MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDY RATHING After bathing arthen jars) | oni the thers indiscriminately, they il their gwahs with the water, and then cas bosom of the river the white chamma lee flower, and return home, It a woman desires to eacrifice hor babe, it is dono in this wise: Sho enters the (o stream with her child and lets the | baby escapo from her grasp. It is quickly borne down stream, and though there may be fitty boats and | boatmen who could, with the least possible exertion, roscue the little oney not a man wi'lstirin the attempt, but will secretly applaud the woman's conduct, and over their hookahs | a'k of the matter, and thank that even in these degenerate | t mes there exists women who are not dead to the faith of thowr fathers. A gontloman told me of \‘u'f Mlowing icidont. Ho was in the habit of paddling down the rviver Jumo: “ ibutary of tho Ganges, every morn ing. Once, whenco passing a bathing what, he noticed a chiid stroegling in the waters while an apathetie crowd ¢ [ stood watching it. He rescued the babe and made for the ghat, and in stead of being recoived w grati tudo ho was hailed with As- tonished and indignant, e demanded the chi'd back, hinting that he would mako it over to tho polize, when the motaer, wi hoa burst of genuine grief, kuelt ut his feet and ASKED FOR ITER BABY. Doubtless the poor woman was glad atthe rescue, and equally cortain it is that it was not ner wish to thus destroy her child, but the pressure of tho prics's and hor husband forecd her to the cruel net. Once in every hundred years is hold the great Mugh Mola, at the e nfluencs of the Ganges and Jumna, # fow miles bolow the eiry of Allah-Abad. To this fair flock thousands of Hindoos The great feature of the ceremony is the grand march into the r. All Hindoos have to enter the river ata certain point, and entire’y submorge them- selvos threo times, The govern- ment how had to step in and regulato the wanuer, and limit the number performing this rite at one time, as thousandsin days gone by perished in this coremouy. ‘The last one took place in 1877, and I was fortunate ewourh to see it At about threo in the morning begins the murch from a temple some two miles from the point where tho bathing is to takegplace, certain days being re- served for tho men and othor days for the wome For a man to see the women bathe is an impossibility. At the blowing of asilver rrumpet away start thousands of Hindoos, without a stitch of clothing on their budics, chanting loudly somo sacred vorses. Lhey march through the sand, and INTO THE RIVER, a3 if blind. The government had boats paddling about the poiut to pick up drowning people, but at that fair I was told that oo two or threo hun- dred poople perished cither by drowa- ing or being trampled to death. The river about the 8 .cred point was alive with alligators, and, emboldened by numbers, they would actunlly make dashes at the bathing multitude, and if they did not succeed in carrying away a victim, would succeed in in- flicting foarful wounds. Serious on- counters have taken place betweon natives aud European huuters, who have been so lucky asto dispatchone of these creatures. I remomber the horror with which somo boatmen regarded me as I took aim, aud shot at one of these monsters; and with what huge content they noticed that the bullet made no impression upon his scaly back. Of courso, they attributed the circumatance to the supernatural. If Thad succovded in killing 1t, I would have been a devil, an omuipotent one; a8 Ifailed, I was but a poor creature, to bo regarded with_hidden, not ex- pressed, contempt. Many fall vietims to these reptiles without wishing it. I'his is often tho case among grass- cutters, During tho dry season there is no grass, except along the banks of the rivers; and 1t is hero that theso men have to come to procure foider for hovses, It is generally under- stood that AN ALLIGATOR ON LAND is as a fish out of water, but I have seen these creatures unpleasantly quick on their stumpy legs, and felt enankful that I had no need of tr, arace wih thom on swampy marsh lands. That they havo considerable intelligence is demonstrated by the tact that they have been known to cut off the retreat of these grass cu - tors. A man was working amongst the rank jungle, when an alligator left the stream, made a complete cir- cuit 80 a8 to take him in the rear, and preventod kim from taking tlight ex- cept into the river, The alligator always carries its vie- tim by the middle of the body, and porsons who have seen peoplo” they carriod off declare that no hurt is given until the aligator reaches the hottom of the stream, for but few clots o1 blood appear on the surface of the water. The question was mooted scme time since of forming a company of hunters to clear the vivers of these reptiles, and p their sking for the purpose of making leather, but it would be tantamount to raising a4 war in theso parts of India.
