The Art of Taming Horses.
The notoriety that has been given to the
art of touting horses in France and Eng
land by John T. Earey, the re-publication
of a pamphlet of his in the latter country,
formerly published at home, have induced
the New York Tribune to condense for the
columns of that paper a brief history of
the art, and also of the method to accom
plish the same. It occupies six columns
o' .ie Tribune, and although copy-righted,
he jieriuits his editorial brethren to copy
on credit to that paper. If it were not
that a good deal of it could not be under
stood without wood cuts accompanying it,
we would be tempted to copy it entire.
We are especially tempted to Jo this be
cause the corner stone of the whole theory
is KINDNESS, 1* AT IEN CK AM) PERSEVE
RANCE. — FitUhunjh Journal.
THE PRACTICE OF HORSE TAMING.
The one principle which you must es
tablish in your mind, and which is -o essen
tial in horse taming that it is almost the
corner stone of the theory, i- the law of
kindness. Next to kindness you must have
patience, and next to patience indomitable
perseverance. With these qualities in us,
and not possessing fear or anger, we under
take to tame horses with perfect assurance
of success, if we use the proper means.
The horse receives instruction in, and bv
the use of, four of his senses—namely, see
ing, hearing, smelling and feeling. You
must remember that the horse is a dumb
brute, and has not the faculty of reasoning
on experiments that you make on him, but
is governed by instinct, hi a natural state
lie is afraid of man, and never until you
teach him that you do uot intend to hurt
him will that fear cease —we mean that wild
natural fear—for you must have him fear
you as well as love you, before you can ab
sorb his attention as much as is necessary
to break him to your liking. It is a prin
ciple in the nature of a horse not to offer
resistance to our wishes, if made known in
away that he understands, and in accord
ance with the law of his nature.
In subjugating the horse, we must make
a powerful appeal to his intelligence; this
can only be done by a physical operation.
It is an undisputed fact that the battles of
all animals (except such as arc garnished
with horns) are fought by seizing each
other by the throat. A dog that has been
thus held by his antagonist for a few min
utes, on being released is often so thorough
ly cowed that no human artifice can induce
him to again resume the unequal contest.
This is the principle upon which horse ta
ming is founded.
Choking a horse is the first process in
taming, and is but the beginning of his
education. By its operation a horse be
comes docile, and will thereafter receive
any instruction which he can be made to
understand. Teaching the animal to be
down at our bidding tends to keep him
permanently cured, as it is a perpetual re
minder of his subdued condition.
It requires a good deal of practice to
tame a horse successfully, also a nice judg
ment to know when he is choked sufficient
ly, as there is a bare possibility that he
might get more than would be good for liiiu.
Wc advise person not perfectly lamiliar
with a horse to resort rather to the stoo
ping and throwing down process (unless he
is very vicious) described below; this, in
ordinary cases, wii sue* eed It is the fault
of must people who have ovv nod a horse to
imagine that thvy mv e.-.p..tis 'it his inuu-

agement, while on the eontrary, many pro
fessional horsemen are the very worst par
ties to attempt his subjugation. Unless a
tnan have a good disposition he need not
attempt horse taming.
In practicing the method exhibited in
the published engraving, retire with the
animal to be operated upon in a close stable
with plenty of litter upon the floor (tan
bark or sawdust is preferable.) In the first
place, fasten up the left fore leg with the
arm strap in such a manner that it will be
permanently secured. Then take a broad
strap and buckle, and pass it around the
neck just back of the jaw bone. Draw
the strap as tight as possible, so tight as to
almost arrest the horse's breathing. The
strap must not be buckled, but held in this
position to prevent slipping back. The
animal will struggle for a few minutes, when
he will become perfectly quiet, overpowered
by a sense of suffocation; the veins in his
head will swell, his eyes lose their lire, his
knees totter and become weak, a slight ver
tigo will ensue, and growing gradually ex
hausted, by backing him around the stable
he will come down on his knees, in which
position it is an easy matter to push him
on his side, when his throat should be re
leased. Now pat and rub him gently for
about twenty minutes, when, in most in
stances, he will be suducd. It is only in
extreme eases necessary to repeat the opera
tion of choking. The next lesson is to
teach him to lie down, which is described
below in the account of the second method
of taming. No horse can effectually resist,
the terrible effects of being choked.
It must be constantly borne in mind that
the operator must not be boisterous or vio
lent, and that the greatest possible degree
of kindness is absolutely essential. When
the horse is prostrate lie should be soothed
until his eyes show that he lias become per
fectly tranquil
Now take a short hold of the lung strap
whh your right hand ; stand on the left side
of the horse, grasp the bit in your left j
hand; while in this position back him gen
tly about the stable until he become so ex
hausted as to exhibit a desire to lay down,
which desire should be gratified with as i
little violence as possible; this may he uone ;
by bearing your weight firmly against
the shoulder of the horse, and pulling stead- i
ily on the strap with your right hand; this
will force him t<> raise hie; foot, which j
should be immediately pulled from under :
him. This is the critical moment; cling to :
the horse, and after a few struggles he will
He down. In bearing against the animal \
do not desist in pulling and pushing until j
you have him on his side. Prevent him
from attempting to rise by pulling his head ,
toward bis shoulder As soon as he is j
done struggling caress his face and neck; j
also, handle every part, of his body, and
render yourself as familiar as possible.—
After lie has lain quietly fur twenty min
utes let him rise, and immediately repeat
the operation, removing the straps as soon i
as he is down ; and if his head is pulled to !
ward his shoulder it is impossible for him
to got up. After throwing him from two
to five times the animal will become as sub
missive and abject a.a well trained dog,
and you need not be afraid to indulge in
any liberties with him. A young horse is
subdued much quicker than an old one, as
his habits are not confirmed. An incorri
gible horse should have two lessons a day;
about the fourth lesson ho will be perma
nently conquered, if the operation is re
peated several times, he can be made to lie
down by simply lifting up his fore leg and
repeatiug the words, 1 Lie down, bur,' which
he must be previously made familiar with
The following rules will serve as a guide
to the amateur operator, and should be
strictly observed ; First: The horse must
not be forced down by violence, but must
be tired out till he has a strong desire to
lie down. Secondly: He must be kept
quiet on the ground until the expression of
the eye shows that he is tranquilizer!, which
invariably takes place by patiently waiting
| and gently patting the horse. Thirdly:
Cure must be taken not to throw the horse
1 upon his neck when bent, as it may be ea
| illy broken. Fourthly: In backing hiia no
i violence must be used, or he may bo for
-1 cod upon ' r haunches and his buck bro
ke... fifthly: j.he halter and off-rein are
• heid it: tho left hand, so as to keep the
; head away from the latter; while if the
j horse attempts to plun.ro, the halter is
, drawn tiuht, when the off leg being raised
the animal is brought on his knees, and
rendered powerless for offensive purposes.
The operations of teaching a horse to
follow a man, and also to cure him of
kicking and balking, should be preceded
by the throwing down process, and in bad
cases by the choking operation, as the ani
imal is thus rendered gentle, tractable, and
officiously obedient to whatever he can be
taught to comprehend. This educational
course is necessary in order to render the
reformation permanent.
CAN CANCERSVK CURED?
We occasionally meet with a person af
flicted with that terrible disease, cancer,
and few things to which flesh is heir to
excite our sympathies more. ( ancers have
been cured, we believe, without the use of
the knife, anu perhaps some of those who
assume the title of cancer doctors have
succeeded in assuaging the pains of the
disease, and in some cases, perhaps, effect
ing a permanent cure.
Not long since an article appeared in the
Milwaukie Free Democrat, which is of
sufficient importance to receive general
notice. The statement of the Democrat
is, that some eight months ago Mr T. B.
Mason, who keeps a music store on Wis
consin street, and is a brother of the wcll
known Lowell Mason, ascertained that he
had a cancer on his face the size of a pea
It was cut out by Dr. Walcott, and the
wound partially healed. Subsequently, it
grew again, and while he was in Cincinna
ti on business, it attained the size of a
hickory nut. He remained there since
Christmas, under treatment, and now re
turns perfectly cured. The process is this:
" A piece of sticking plaster was put over
the cancer, with a circular piece cut out of
the centre a little larger than the cancer,
so that the cancer and a small circular rim
of healthy skin next to it were exposed.
Then a plaster made if chloride of zinc,
blood root and wheat flour, was spread on
a piece of muslin of the size of this circu
lar opening, and applied to the cancer for
twenty-four hours. On removing it the
cancer will be found to be burnt into, and
appear of the color and hardness of an old
shoe sole, and the circular rim outside of
it will appeal white aud parboiled, as if
scalded by hot steam. The wound is now
dressed, and the outside rim soon suppu
rates, and tin. cancer conies out in a hard
lump, and the place heals up. The plas
ter the cancer, so that it sloughs out
like dead flesh, and tit ccr yroc-s again.
The remedy was discovered by Dr. Fell of
London, and has V een used by him for six
or eight years with unfailing success, and
not a ease has been known of the re-ap
pearance of the cancer where this remedy
has been applied."
The Great Comet Come at Last. —The
New Tork Herald makes the following
interesting announcement. We find no
confirmation of the fact in our foreign
files :
Wo learn from our despatches lay the
Arago that the great comet of Charles V., !
as it is sometimes called, but better known
to astronomers as that of Fabricius, has at}
last made its appearance, and will very
shortly be visible to the naked eye. It has
been seen from the Paris Observatory
through its telescopes, aud is pronounced J
by Arago the genuine arriclo. A sharp j
lookout lor it has been kept up for a year j
or two past by the Furopean comet seekers. 1
It is not yet known whether it will appear
as it once did, like a very large and bright:
star, or with a tail one hundred degrees in j
Joogth. The curious hope that it will its
" wondrous tail unfold." Its first appear
ance was in 1204, and its disappearance
took place on the 2d of October oi that
year, the day on which Pope Urban IV.
died, and as the svorld thought in strange
coincidence. In 1556 it rc-appeared and
was observed by Caul Fabricius, astronomer
to Charles V., who executed a map of its
path, which was published in November
of that year. The Emperor considered it
as a special omen of his own approaching
death ; but he lived for some years after
war-is. It was then described as a great
and briiiiant star Its course was "through
Virgo and Cassiopea." The celebrated Dr.
ilaJUcy calculated its element- more than a
century afterwards, < J ■ several others alter
him. The calculations of Mr. Pontine, of
Middleburg, of the Netherian I<, of recent
date, are more precise, and are generally
supposed to bo more reliable tuan those of
i his predecessors, t his astronomer linaiiy
came to the conclusion that in the year
1204 its eclipse had a period of 110,0-14
days, or 802,922 years, expedited by plan
etary disturbances by 4,077 days, and that
in 185(5 its mean motion corresponded to a
period of 808,100 years. Its present rev
olution he calculated would be shortened
by perturbations 10.48 years, and the comet
should reach its perihelion about the 2d of
August, 1858.
A Fatal Casual///. —The beautiful resi
dence of Mr. Hugh David on the banks of
the Delaware, near Tacony, was the scene of
a fatal accident a few weeks ago. Mr. Da
vid was in the library engaged in putting
in order a revolving pistol while his step
daughter, Miss Helen 13. Souberville, a
young lady 18 years of age, was seated be
side him. A young child happened to be
in trouble in an adjoining room; Mr. Da
vid laid down the pistol and went to its
relief. While he was absent he beard a
report, and upon hastening into the library
found the young lady lying upon the floor,
drawing her last breath, a bullet having
entered the eye and passed through the
brain. It is supposed that she thoughtless
ly took up the pistol to examine it and
aecidentally discharged a loaded barrel.
The parents of the young lady, who posses
sed more than ordinary loveliness and worth,
are in the deepest anguish at the sad occur
rence.
Wolces in Pennsylvania. —For some
time past a pack of wolves has infested the
neighbourhood of Kbensburg, Cambria
county, Pa. They have been amusing
themselves by disturbing everybody's shun
ters with their howls, and attacking every
body's sheep. Considerable damage has
been occasioned by their fondness for mut
ton, and great efforts were unsuccessfully
made to capture some of them. On Thurs
day night, Mr. John T. Williams succeed
ed in catching one of the "varmints" in
a steel trap, on his place, four miles north
of the town. He is still alive, and repre
sented as being an "old soger" of fine pro
portions. Andrew Dunmire, residing on
the Pittsburgh pike, some four or five miles
west of Kbensburg, had a large number of
sheep killed by wolves, a few nights since.
Ourt'ous Pitcher. —Prominent among the
curiosities at the Hermitage, once the home
of General Jackson, is a wooden pitcher,
remarkable both on account of the artistic
skill displayed aud the celebrity of the tree
from which the wood was procured. It
was made of the wood from the elm tree
under which William Penn made the cele
brated Indian treaty. The pitcher was
presented by the coopers of Philadelphia;
and, although it is no larger than a com
mon cream-jug, it contains seven hundred
and fifty staves. The hoops, lid and handle
are of silver; the bottom is a magnifying
glass, by looking through which one is ena
bled to see the joints, which are invisible
to the naked eye.
Byerly, who died at the age
of 00 in Westmorland county, Pa., was at
one time a resident of the only cabin be
tween Fort Pitt and Ligonicr. In the Rev
olution he was active and his scouting ex
peditions extended through Western Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania, and into Ohio.
He went with a party to bury twenty-one
settlers, who had been killed at Wheeling;
went to the relief of Fort Lawrence and j
Wallace's station; was on a scout to Puux
utawney, and joined in pursuit of the par
ty who killed the Willards; was on the ex
pedition against the Tuscaroras in Ohio,
and served under General Broadhcad in
the destruction of the towns of the Corn-1
planter Indians. In this expedition, while
following a trail, in company with Jacob
Smith and another scout, lie killed an In
dian chief in a hand to hand conflict.
tcredo. —Hon. Eli Thayer says that his
projects are working admirably. The city
—Ccredo —which he founded in Virginia,
is fast filling up, manufactories are being
established, and everything promises well.
When he first went to Virginia, every pa
per in the State opposed his designs, and
some of them threatened him with person
al violence, should he persist in his scheme.
Now, fourteen of these same papers advo
cate his interests, and no paper in the
State ays a word to his detriment Gov.
Wise warmly sympathizes with him in his
efforts and purposes.

DOESTICKS ON LAG Ell BEER
Doestieks has been trying to ascertain by
experiment whether or not Lager is intoxica
ting, and below is given, in his own lan
guage, the result:—
" The first glass seemed like sour strong
beer with a good deal of water in it; the
next was not quite so sour, and the next
one tasted as though the original beer had
been stronger and they did not dilute it
quite so much. Then we rested, and as I
had drank three pints already, I was wil
ling to quit, hut Damphool assured me
'Lager is'nt intoxicating,' so after a little
settling down I thought I could hold an
other glass and ordered it; it was brought
by a young lady who seemed to have four
eyes and two noses pointing in different di
rections, which uuusuai effect was undoubt
edly caused by smoke
'Then I thought I'd have a glass of La
ger (a liquid known to most of the inhabi
tants of Manhattan.) It was brought by
a girl so pretty that I immediately ordered
two more, and kept her waiting for the
change each time, so I could look at her—
then we had some cheese full of holes ;
then we had some Lager to fill up the holes;
and then we took a sausage; Damphool sug
gested that the sausage was made of dog,
so we had some Lager to drown the dog;
then we had some sardines;
it would be cruel to keep the fishes with
out a supply of the liquid element, so we
had some Lager for the fishes to swim in;
then we had some bretzels; Damphoorsfiid"
the bretzels were salty and so crooked that
they would not pack close, so we had some
Lager to fill up the chinks; then I made a
speech to the company; short but to the
point, and received with applause —-it was
addressed to the whole crowd arid was to
this effect —'Gentlemen let's have some
Lager!'
*i?y this time my friend had by some mys
terious process become mysteriously mul
tiplied, and there were titty Damphook.
and they all accepted the invitation, and
we had the Lager; there were forty glasses,
and in trying to make the circuit of the
room aud touch my glass to every one of
theirs I fell over a table which very im
pertinently stepped before me, and as I
went down I knocked a small Dutchman
into the corner, then I partially recovered
myself and sat on his head, then 1 got up
and stepped on his stomach, then 1 deman
ded an instant apology, then I called for
six glasses of Lager, and the girl brought
them all in one hand. I tried to take
them all in one hand, but broke three, then
I tried to drink out of the remaining
three all at once, and in so doing I took an
involuntary shower-bath, then tried to pay
for the whole fifty glasses and the damage
with a dime and a Spanish quarter, and de
manded that he should give my change in
gold dollars; there seetined to be sonic dif
ficulty about this, and if I hadn't known
that Lager isn't intoxicating I should have,
thought the man was drunk.'
Hauled Overboard by a Halibut. —The
Eastport Sentinel says a story was afloat
that last week a boat was near West Quod
dy without any one on board. Upon row
ing to it, it was found to be held by a fish
ing line, which, upon hauling in, was found
attached by one hook to a halibut, and the
other hook to the wrist of a man; and it
was supposed that the halibut was hauled
to the surface, when by accident the sec
ond hook caught in the wrist of the man,
who wits carried overboard by the weight
of the fish.
