“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. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1887. 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.
