The following is said to be the Arabian mode
for tanning horses, and is the same as has been
sold through the country at from one to five dol
lars. The horse castor is q wart or sxcresenos
which grows every horses fore-legs and gen.
orally on the hind-legs. 1t has peculiar, rank,
nusty smell, and Is easily pulled of. The am
msnical ef1uvia OF the horse seems peculiarly to
concentrate in this part and its very strong odor
has = very great attraction for all animals-es-
pecially canine, and the horse himself
For the oil of cumins, the horse has an instinc-
tive passion-both are original natives of Arabia,
and when the horse scents the odor, he is in
stinctively drawn towards it.
The oil of rhodium possesses peculiar proper
ties. All animals seem to cherish a fondness for
it, and it exercises kind of subduing influence
over them,
The directions given for tanning horses are AZ
follows:
Procure some horse castor and crate fine
Also get some oil of rbodium and oil of cumine,
and keep the three seperate in sir-tight bottle.
Rub little of the oil cumine upon your
hands, and approach the horse ON the windward
side, 40 that he can smell the cumine. The horse
will let you come up to him without any trou-
ble
immediately rub your hand gently on the
horses nose, getting a little Of the oil on it.
You can then lead him any where.
oiNO iittle Oh inc CdSloI piecc VI
loaf sugar, apple, or potatoe.
Put nine drops of the oil of rhodium into a
lady's silver thimbls between the thumb and
middle finger of your right hand, with the fore
finger stopping the thimble, TO prevent the oil
from running ont whilst you are opening the
mouth of the horse.
As soon as you have opened the horses mouth,
tip the thimble over upon his tongue, and he is
your servant He will follow you like pet dog.
Ride fearessly and promptly, with your knees
pressed to the horses side, and your toes turned
in and heels out then you will be always on
the alert for a shy or sheer from the horse, and
he can never throw YOU.
Then, if you want TO teach him 10 lie down
stand on his right or left side; have a couple of
leather straps, about six feet long: string up
his left leg with one OF them around his neck ;
strap the other end of it over his sholders hold
it in your hand and when you are ready tell
him TO lie down, at the same time gently, firm
ly, and steadily pulling ON the strap touching
him lightly OH the knee with a switch. The
horse will Immediately lie down. DO this few
times and you can make him lie down without
straps
He is now your pupil and your friend You
can teach him anything only be kind to him. be
gentle. Feed him before YOU do yourself shell
ter him well, groom him yourself, and at night
always give him good bed, at least foot deep.
In the winter season, don't let him stand out,
long time in the cold, without shelter or cover.
ing for remember that the horse is a native Of
3 warm climate, and in many respects his con-
stitution is tender as a man's.-Americdn

1t has bee stoutly denied, says
the Cincinnati Commercial, that
there wasaa negro delegate in the
Tammany Convention. But the
fact is now pretty well established
that Joseph E. Williams, colored
man, was a Democratic delegate
from Tennessee. He is black car
pet-bagger, at that, having been born
and raised in Philadelphia, and hav-
ing resided in Washington at the
outbreak Of the rebellion. What
manner Of man this Williams is can
be inferred from sketch in his sub
sequent career, which we find in the
Detroit Post. The writer, an ex-
army officer, says:
"When Major George Stearns, OF
Boston, was sent by the Governor
to Nashville, in 1868, to raise and
organize colored troops, having be-
come acquainted with Mr.. Williams,
he took him along to assist in rails
ing recruits. Not meeting his ex-
pectations, Williams was assigned

the guard house report will give his
principal record. He was court
martialed three times, and sentenced
to hard labor with ball and chain
and loss of pay was sent to the
