that pains should be taken 10 obtain the sc.
cret by which Mount was enabled to con-
quer,in so short time, THAT most vicious an.
nal. Since the receip, of That number of
the magazine, have been TO Kaskaskiu,
my former residence, and made more par
ticular enquiries into the case reported TO
you, and Of which | was an witness,
and have held conversations with those who
are in possession Of the secret. They all
concur in my account of it, and further as.
sure me that they are in the constant habit
of using the means with which Mount opc-
rated, and hayc never fa;ld Of success, no
matter how devl;sh the horses were. lam
also in possession IF the secret, and anteach
any man acquainted with horses to subdue g.
render ,ractablc the mos, ungovernable ami.
male in one ortwo hours. About this there is
no mistake. BY the same means, the most
baulky horse can be made to pull rs true as
the best dIay horse in your city, and oxen
can be broke 10 the yoke, and 70 pull with
out lnching, in an hour or more.
Some further facts in relation 10 the
roam on which Noun, operated at kaskas-
kia were given to me, in sub tance thus:
tina: the next day, in taking lin from the
wagon, the driver went behind his legs un-
hitchcd the traces, gave him kick, and he
tro!ted offlike an oil stage horse; and fur.
ther, when he left the tom roam was turn.
ed loose and tro:ted after tic wagon, never
offering 10 run away, and this, horse rails
in the woods, and bu, few hours under the
dominion Of man! All this, admit. is
severe draft upon creduliy, bu: i, is as true
as that coatroul has been given 10 us over
the whole brute creation.
| have ascertained 10 ms perfect satis.
faction, that the means used have no inIu.
| rious effects whatever on The spirits Of the
horse; upon his disposition they act like
charm, and seem to attach him to the per.
| son who administers them.
A gentleman who has practiscd the art
assured me that lie caught, for his little sis.
ter, u wild Point horse, and in one week had
so completely gentled him ,ha, she rode him
every where with the most perfect safety.
Tha, tho means used,properly administered,
vii! produce the effects spoken Of, there is
no more doubt than that YOU have an cxis-
!cnce. S:GMA.
Remarks BY the Editor oetke Turf Regis.
The subject Of tue above article from
Sigma becomes more and more interest.
ing every day. The facts stated by 1ari.
Gus persons are so strange, SO 'out OF the
| usual course oflhings,' that Sigma him.
sell need not wonder tina. many people con.
.inuc 10 doubt, though they are affirmed to
by persons ever so respectable. The facts
asserted by Sigma and various other res.
pec.able gentlemen, are neither more nor
less than What aro almos: universally be.
lcyed to be unpossibilt;es. We were to
assert That we could take wild horse, and
in ole hour SO completely c',snse his dispo-
s:toa and habits as to icndcr hin, docile and
lractiblo, so that he Can be ridden by any
prrson or driven in Garage, .ncre are few
people in the world tin, would believe US;
and vet this is simply the very fac, asserted
by Sigma, anil which nou candidy believe
can be done. We did not intend 10 cast a
shadow of doubt on tho statement Of Sigma
nor do We believe that &C. did. We know
The character of'Sigma' too we'll to doubt
what he asserted as fact within Ills own
knowledge.
The editor Of the Tult Register has now
the pleasure Of announcing that he is in pos.
session Of the secret; i, has however, been
acquired at too late day for trial before
the present number goes to press. He is
not at liberty at present to publish it, nor
communicate it TO others. bul hopes, after IL
fair trial shall have been made Oft, 10 obtain
permission fox its publication. Not having
tried the experiment we cannot speak prac
ticaIiy of its results bu. We arc led to believe,
from recolIections Of analogous things and
circumstances, that not only horses may be
rendered docile, bu; many. # not all o.aA..
animals may be Acmcst;cuted apI famed, g,
stripped of their wild farocious r..y,cpsiiies
by the apPllcatio: os,his singular practice.
We woa'd rema::s 10 &C., and several o;i,.
ers who '!acc suggested what they supposed
~'Ss.s The secret, that no:hing mentioned by
any Of them forms any part of it. There is
no stopping the cars with wool, nor G! ply.
ing the afluvi from the arm pits TO the
nose Of the horse, nor severe fageHation,
nothing Of the kind nor any thing Ike them
in 4he secret By the way. we mus. invent
name for it; will makea nose in the world
for i. yet.

osophicaI transactions for 1899, that in the
