“HORSE WHISPERING.”
Mysterious Methods which Irish Horse-
Breakers are Supposed to Employ.
From the St. James Gazette.
It is commonly believed that there ore un
doubtedly mysterious influences by which
an immediate ascendancy is gained over the
horse, independent of the process of teaching
or the promptings of affection. There was
formerly living in the county of Cork, a
family who laid claims to the possession of
a secret by which the wildest or most vicious
horse could be tamed. This secret is said to
have been originnlly imparted by a Bo
hemian gypsy to the then head of the family,
a century and a half ago, and to have been
regularly transmitted, as a parting legacy
at the time of his death, from the father to
the eldest son. Possibly there maybe resid
ing in County Cork a scion of the family
still practicing, with more or less success,
the art of “horse whispering;” but it is an
indisputable fact that, at the commencement,
of the present century, the fame of Con
Sullivan, the then head of the family, for
miraculous cures of vicious horses had spre id
far and wide throughout Ireland. Among
the many well-attested accounts of the
wonderful achievements of Con Sullivan,
“the Whisperer,” the services which he
rendered to Col. Westenra, who afterward
succeeded to the title of Rossmore, were the
talk of the whole country. The colonel had
splendid race horse called Rainbow, and
he was anxious to run him at the faces on
the Curragh of Kil dare, but the horse was
so wild and vicious that his owner found he
must give up all thoughts of bringing him
out and running him. He would bite every
one w’ho went near him (like the present
Lord Falmouth’s brute, Muley Edris, who
“savaged” the late Fred Archer’s arm), and
It was necessary to tie up his head when the
groom who attended him was not w ith him.
If a horse chanced to be near biin he was
sure to bite him, or try to; and the legs of
the jockey who attempted to mount him did
not escape his fangs. Lord Donerail said he
knew' a person who could cure him. The
colonel could not believe him, and a wager
of £I,OOO was laid on the matter. A mes
senger was dispatched for Con Sullivan, who
was known throughout the country side as
“The Whisperer,” from the supposition that
he whispered into the horse’s ear, by which
means he quieted such as were unruly.
When he was told the state of Col. Westen
ra’s horse, he desired to go into the stable to
see him. “You must wait till his head is
tied up,” was said and repeated by those
who were present. “No occasion,” said Con;
“he won’t bite me.” So in he went, after
peremptorily ordering no one to follow him
till a given signal should imply that they
had his permission. He then shut the door
for the unenviable tete-a-tete. In a little
more than a quarter of an hour the signal
■was heard. Those who had been waiting in
alarm for the result rushed in. They found
the horse extended on his back, playing like
a kitten with the “Whisperer,” who was
quietly sitting by him. Both horses and
operator appeared exhausted, particularly
the latter, to whom it was necessary to
administer brandy and other stimulants be
fore he could be revived. The horse was
perfectly tame and gentle from that day.
In the spring of 1805 Mr. AVhaley’s King
Pippin was brought out to run at the Cur
ragn of Kildare. He had been described as
a horse of the most savage and vicious dis
position ; he had a habit of flying at and
worrying any person who came near him.
When he could turn his head around he
would seize his rider’s leg with his teeth and
drag him from his back. The difficulty of
managing such a horse may be conceived,
and on this occasion it was impossible to
put a bridle on him. “The Whisperer” was
now sent for. He remained shut up in the
stable all night. In the morning King
Pippin’ was seen following him like a dog
lying down at the word of command,
and permitting any person, without resist
ance, to put his hand into his mouth, while
he stood “gentle as a lamb.” He was brought
out in the course of the meeting was run,
and won the race. The fame of “the Whis
perer” had now spread throughout the
Sountry, and his services were in extensive
emand. This extraordinary person has
been noticed in many and various publica
tions. Crofton Croker speaks of him in
Fairy Legions a “an ignorant rustic of the
lowest class,” while he bears ample testi
mony to his extraordinary powers. “I once
saw his skill,” be says, “tried on a horse
which could never before be brought to
stand for a smith to shoe him. The day
after Sullivan’s lecture I went, not without
some incredulity, to the smith’s shop, with
many other curious spectators, who were
eye-witnesses of the complete success of his
art. This had been a troop horse; it was
supposed that after regimental discipline
had failed no other could be found availing.
I observed that the animal seemed terrified
when Sullivan either spoke to him or looked
at him.” Were we to recount all the well
authenticated details of the marvelous
powers of “the Whisperer” we should far
exceed our limits. There are hundreds of
cases on record of persons—some, we be
lieve, still living—who were witnesses of his
marvelous powers or who have benefited by
them.
How he obtained this wonderful
command over the horse has never yet been
ascertained. Some fancied that he poured
some opiate into the ear of the animal,
while other ascribed his success to magic
Crofton Croker observed that “he seemed
to possess an intuitive power of inspiring
awe; the result, perhaps, of natural intre
pidity, in whicn I believe a great part of his
art consisted, though the circumstances of
the tete-a-tete shows that on particular
occasions something must have been added
to it.” The pow'er of “the Whisperer” is
glanced at in “Borrow’s Bible in Spain,”
from which, too, it would appear that he
had taken some lessons in liis art. fn
“Lavengro, the Scholar,” he enlarges on the
subject, and from what he says it would
appear that the cure of the animal is effect
ed bv a word. The smith of whom he
speaks, he tells us, “uttered a word which I
had never heard before, in a sharp and
pungent tone. The effect upon myself was
something extraordinary; a strange thi ill
ran through me, but with regard to the cob
it was terrible. The animal forthwith be
came like one mad, and roared ami kicked
with the utmost desperation. He afterward
uttered another word iu a voice singularly
modified, but sw’eet and almost plaintive.
The effect of it was instantaneous as that of
the other, but was different; the animal lost
all its fury, and became at once calm and
gentle.” *
JUSTICE IN PERSIA.
Terrible Lives Led by Prisoners Con
fined In the “House of chains.”
Tho St James Budget describes a visit
made by some Europeans to the Persian
Zanjir-Khava (literally “the House of
Chains”). This is a rather insecure-looking
jail, surrounded by a mud wall 10 feet in
height. Several soldiers were lounging
about the gateway, and their unloaded mus
kets were piled in a corner. The guard on
duty carries merely a stout bludgeon, sur
mounted by an iron head, a weapon with
which one could easily fell an ox. When
the jailer was acquainted with the desire of
the strangers to visit the prison he was un
affectedly surprised.
“do inside!” he asked. “Inside?”
“Yes ”
“Well, you are welcome. You Europeans
are very curious. Who wants to see tne in
side of a jail! The outside is quite enough
for most people.”
He presently indicated a narrow stair
case, which brought the visitors out upon
the roof of the rooms, which form the four
sides of the rectangular court yard. Some
ragged men, enjoying the warmth of the
sun below, perceived the spectators gazing
at them, but did not move.
“Have you many prisionersi"
“Yes, r good many. We are very busy.”
The jailer went on to say that he was
paid something over $7 a month, receiving
the payment very irregularly, as times wore
bad. The prisoners were not moneyed
men;no fees could be extracted from them
to any great amount. To l>o sure, their ra
tions were provided, but one could make
little enough out of tilt rations.
“Two loaves a day! Why, if I tampered
much with their miserable loaves these sons
of burned fathers would rise and trample
me to death. The fact is, I draw rations
for sixty prisoners; I have forty-five, but
what profit is there in thirty loave- a day !
But I have to do the best I can; I have my
perquisites.”
It was then ascertained that these per
quisites consist of the prisoners’ clothes.
“Do they surrender them voluntarily 1”
asked the visitors.
“Usually; but if they prove obdurate
they go to the khelwut” (the private
place).
"Can we see that?”
“Certainly, on my eyes, if you wish it!
But there is” nothing to see—absolutely noth
ing.”
At the question whether there were any |
female prisoners, the jailer held up his hands j
in horror.
“Here, female prisoners? When a woman
in Persia misconducts herself she is simply
detained in the house of a priest.”
He then stated that at present ten prison
ers were detained in the khelwut; of these,
two very determined prison-breakers, three
left for death, and the other five were new
arrivals, who objected to presenting their
clothes to the ailer.
“Are there many escapes?” asked a visi
tor.
“No, they occur seldom, very seldom, and
then only among the liberal rich?”
A remark which would imply that Per
-1 ian officials are not above taking a bribe.
It was suggested to the jailer that the guard
was small, the walls not high, and the pris
ers many.
"To your feet!” he shouted.
The thirty-five prisoners slowly rose, and
it then became apparent that escapes need
not happen without the connivance of
authority, Ea< h man wore an iron collar,
and this was linked to that of his neighbor
by a heavy chain.
The khelwut proved to lie a low dark
apartment filthy in the extreme, the air al
most poisonous from the breath of its ten
occupants. The three condemned men were
seated with both feet fixed in the kang, or
beam; they also wore the usual iron
collar. Their gaze was dull and hoiieless.
“Murderers!” whispered the jailer. “It
is for to-morow.”
The two prison-breakers and five unfor
tunates who still clung to their clothes were
secured in the same manner, but unironed.
The place was pestilential and alive with
vermin.
“Do many die here?” inquired the visi
tors, as they hastened into the open air.
A smack of the lips was the enigmatical
reply.
THE TOOTHSOME SARDINE.
Factories on the Maine Coast and Men
They Employ.
Front the. Pittsburg Dispatch.
At Eastport, Lewis Cove, Robertson,
Lubec, Pembroke, Southwest Harbor, Jones
port, Mill Bridge and Cutler are located be
tween thirty and forty of these sardine fac
tories. They employ, or partially employ,
from 2,000 to 3,000 hands from the middle
of April to the middle of December. Every
factory is located on the Maine coastwise
shore, in Maine, on the shores of Cobscook,
Pembroke and Passamaquoddy bays or upon
the Maine shore of the St. Broix. The rea
son why none are on the Canadian side is
that our customs duties make such opera
tions impracticable there. But Canadians
more than make amends. The best herring
grounds are on the other side of the
unnecessary imaginary line. Two-thirds
of all herring fishers are Can-tdians
and by international re rulation Cf uulian
fishers may bring their fresh herring, duty
free, to ever profitable markets. Being j
practically anew industry, of such ample
profit that the greatest rivalries exist, and
the false and foolish notion being prevale >
that the product must go out to the world
under all sorts of lying subterfugtes, so th t
the silly prest ge of foreign-made sard nes
under American pretense may be main
tained; no figures can be secured giving its
exact importance. But when it is remem
bered that this product has nearly driven
French sardines out of the American mar
ket; that in addition a vastexport trade has
been secured; that the American consump
tion of sardines, in view of their gradual
cheapening from 50c. to even as low as 10c*
a box, at retail, has resulted; and that they
have become, instead of a luxury to the
rich, a common article of food among all
who labor and earn, the proportions of this
single and generally unknown industry can
easily be comprehended. Millions upon
millions of boxes—indeed, one might almost
say, of eases of 100 boxes to tlie case—are
annually prepared here. There is no end to
the supply, no diminution of demand, and
no cessation of annual increase in number
and capacity of factories.
Here, then, is the herring fisher’s home
and his market at home. While the latter
gives an ever-changing reward, it is never
changing itself, and the fisher, after all reg
ulates his own compensation. If the catches
are bountiful he wul sell cheaply, but never
for less than profit. If they are light, he
often secures exorbitant compensation, for
the competition is always brisk and the fac
tories must lie kept running. In the year ali
this, as to fisher an 1 factory, adjusts itse f
fairly enough. Each factory has its “boat
men.” These men, who principally live at
Eastport and Lubec, are raduate Quoddy
fishers. They have their Quoddy boats and
crews, and their duties are to scurry about
among the weirs and keep their factories
supplied with herring at the lowest possible
price, but always supplied.
A Rival for Dynamite.
Prom, the Philadelphia Times.
A dozen or more gentlemen interested in
explosives assembled at the home of Dr.
Stephen Emmons, Prospect avenue and One
Hundred and Sixty-fifth street, to see some
experiments in which Dr. Enunens was as
sisted by Count George de ICappelle and by
his son, Newton Emnteus. Dr. Emmens’
new explosive is composed of two cheap and
easily obtained materials. One is an extract
from coal and the other a mineral substance.
The mixture may be pounded in a mortar,
and neither ingredient separately shows
any trace of an explosive nature. Another
valuable quality which is peculiar to Ein
mensite, as the mixture is called, is that it
may lie melted and fused into any shape as
a solid block, or may be granulated in
various sizes: consequently it may be used
as either a high or low explosive.
According to Dr. Emmens’ computations
it can exert a pressure of tons Jo the
square inch. The next highest pressure is
exerted by pure nitro glycerine, Slid tons.
The speed of explosion is greater than that
of any other practicable explosive except
fulmite of mercury. When used in a com
pact form its highest possibilities of speed
are obtained, and it is then suitable as a
blasting agent. When manufactured in the
form of powder the rapidity of explosion is
lessened in proportion to the coarseness of
the grains and it may then be employed in
firearms.
To-day a 33-calibre Smith & Wesson was
fired from a distance of six feet at an iron
plate one-sixteenth of an inch thick with
four grains of Emmensite. The ball nearly
pierced the plate, while with ten grains of
power the ball made only an indentation.
After several interesting experiments the
party went into the yard of Dr. Emmens’
house. A leaden hemisphere was placed on
a rock. Upon this were placed successively
one-ounce cartridges of gunpowder explo
sive, gelatine, dynamite and Emmensite.
While the other explosives bent the lead, it
was shattered by the Emmensite. An iron
plate, six inches square, was then suspended
From the branch of a troe; a one-ounce
dynamite cartridge placed on the plate sim
ply bent it; a cartridge of explosive gelatine
almost broke it. while the same amount of
Emmensite made a hole through the plate
as large as a man’s fist.
All sufferers with such chronic ailments as
liver disease, dyspepsia, blood diseases,
coughs, consumption, (scroluiaof the lungs),
and kindred diseases should know that D•.
i’ierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” is
their best friend in such deep affliction. It
comes to soothe, alleviate and cure.

MEDICAL.
Children.
Parents are very often worried about a
child that shows signs of drooping and loss
of appetite and no desire to join in the sports
of their playmates. It is hardly serious
enough to require a physician, but it is
plain that the child needs something. It is
not prudent to force into the young and un
developed systems strong and nauseous
drugs, but a medicine that will aid, invig
orate, enliven and thoroughly cleanse the
system by gentle means is what is desired.
Simmons Liver Regulator is a medicine of
this kind. The child will not rebel against
taking it, because it is not unpleasant to the
taste; it does not compel them to remain
indoors, and it does not weaken or injure
the system. It can safely be administered
to the youngest infant.
“1 have used Simmons Liver Regulator in
my family for eight or ten years and found
it the best family medicine I ever used for
anything th it may happen.”—Ovid G.
Sparks, Ex-Mayoi of Macon, Ga.
