Thousands rushed to seize the cables, and so eager were the volunteer for this luelY ser vice that the best and greatest ellen of Orisea struggled with each other to obtain a hold upon the ropes. To use the language of a old writer who witnessed the Rath Jattra in its palmy days, "they'are eo greedy and. eager to draw it that whosoever, by should- ering, crowding, shoving, heaving,' thrust- ing, or in any ineolent way, can but, lay ,a hand upon the rope, they think' themselves blessed and happy. And when it, is going along the city there are many that will offer themselves as a sacrifice to the idol, and desperately lie down on the ground that the °hornet wheels may nun over them, whereny they are killecleoutreght. Some get broken arms, some broken lege, so that many aro destroyed, and. thinle. to merit heaven,' At even a later dete Martyrs to Jugger- naut, or Jaggannanh, as he iemore coirectly termed, were not infrequent. When Francis Buchanan was in Pooree early in this cen- tury, he describes the harsh grating of the gigantic car as it moved along, the obscene songs of the priests in honor of the god, and the fierce glances which the fanatica bestow- ed on the beeneating Englislunen, as a pil- grim announced himself ready to become a sacrifice to the idol. No one daring Or caring to prevent th.nself-immolatione the man prostrated himself in the road before the tower an it moved along, lying on his face with his arms stretched forward. The mul- titude passed arounnl him leaving the space e clear, until he was crushed to death by the wheels of the ponderous atructure. Then a wild cry of praise was raised, and as the god was seen to "smile" at the libatMn of spout- ing blood, the devotees threw cowries and pieces of money on the body of the victim in approbation of the holy deed by which he had won immortality in the "Hindoo Wal- halla. It is; therefore, suggestive of a strangere- volution in Hindoo opinion to hear that not only are victims lacking, but that, instead of thousands struggling for the honor of a place at the drag ropes, laboring men, at so many annas per'diem, have to be hired to perform the sacred function. The awe of the Indian people for "the Lord of the World" has been declining. For many years past the fame of the great god of Orissa has been on the wane, and the tbne when a human sacrifice was 'cleliberatel offered up to tbe hideous idol is fast g beyoud the power of the very °idea of ld. Indians to recall. Admitting that the num- ber of devotees this year is smaller, owing to the loss of kiwi) {pilgrim. ships—and the prophecy theta third ;will be wrecked be- fore the year is out—it is undeniable that Jaggannanh is doomed, and the wealth which it brought to the priests and the townspeople of Pooree is likelyto vanish be- fore many years elapse. Sometimes a poor decrepit wretch, weary of 1 fe,or drugged by the priests with Indian hemp Or opium, will wildly throw himself in front of the wheels, though he is -usually dragged out by ethe police who have orders to prevent`nee at- tempt's sucide. Saddest abasement onall from the standpoint of Brahminiam, it hap- ., pened a few years ago, for the first time in history, that, to the horror and chagrin of the priests, the car of Jeggannanh stood still in the streets of Pooree, while the pil- grims looked on in -impious apathy. Yet no • . harm befell them, although a subsequent famine has been attributed to their sacrilig- ious careleesness. However, the result has- been, that, though worshippers etill come to Pooree, they just as frequently prefer to save themselves the trouble of hauling the gods, and, as has happened on the present occasion, the prieets, afraid .of the idols - never reaching the tank, have contract- ed with irreverential coolies perform the job for a stipulated number of rupees. , Mortality there is, of coarse, still. The peer die for want of food, of disease, and for lack of proper accommodation.' But there is no longer any need -for interfering, for the wrong will soon right itself by Ja.ggannaili ceasing to "draw."
