Whipping Horses.

! would caution all who train or use horses
against exciting the iil-will of the animal.
Many think they are doing finely, and are
proud of their success in horse training, by
means OF severe whipping, or otherwise
rousing ard stimulating the passions. and
then from necessity, crushing the will through
which the resistance is prompted. No mis-
take can he greater than this and there Is
nothing that so fully exhibits the ability,
Judgment and skill of the real horseman as
the care and tact displayed in winning in
stead of repelling the action of the mind.
Although it may be necessary to Use the
whip sometimes, it should always be applied
judiciously and care should be taken not to
rouse the passions or excite the will to OBJ
stinacy. The legitimate and proper use Of the
whip is calculated to operate on the sense of
fear almost entirely. The affections and better
nature must be appealed to in training n
horse as well as in training a child, but if
only the passions are excited, the effect is de-
PRAYING and injurious. This is vital prnei-
pie, and can be disregarded in the manage
ment of sensitive, courageous horses only at
the imminent risk of spelling them. l
have known many horses of naturally gentle
character to be spoiled by being whipped
once, and one horse that was made visciouS
by being struck with whip once while stand
ing in his STALL | have referred to these in
stances to show the danger of rough treat
ment, and the effect that may be easily pro-
duced by ill usage, especially with fine blood
horses and those of highly nervous tenn
permanent. Many other cases might be cited
as such are by no means uncommon. Sensi-
tive horses should never be lett after they
have been excited by the whip or other means
until Gained down by rubbing OF patting the
head and neck and giving apples, sugar or
something of which the animal ia fond Re-
member, the whip must be used with great
care, or it is liable to do mischief, and may
cause irreparable injury Wagners Edues-

New York, 10. A special to the Herald
from London says there have been partial
risngs of the republicans in Andalusia since
the conservatives proposed the dictatorship
of Serrano, with absolute power, spending
money and suspending the constitution The
conservatives are enraged at the rejection of
their proposals by the King, and say that the
last attempt at forming conservative minis
try under King Amadeus has been tried. "A
radical minister and then deluge" exclams a
Serranost journal. 1t is said that Serrano
has left for England in disgust and that See
gasto has left for France. The radicals are

We had the pleasure yesterday of examin-
irg at the stable Of Messrs. Means & Butler
in this city, the noted thorough -bred trotting
stallion "Cadmus," and a couple of fine spec
linens of his progeny. The form and "buid"
of "Cadmus' indicates his ancestry, mere
novice in horse flesh being able to judge cor
rectly Of his blood from even a cursory ex-
animation. He is seven years old and of a
chestnut color; was bred in Ohio; is of the
lIambletonian and Messenger stock was
sired by "Ben Butler and he by imported
"Scythian." His blood can be clearly traced
back to the time of the reign of Charles the
EirSt Of Enc ND nd IT, IL,

doubt of his blood, and ''blood" is coming to
be more and more examined among horse
men, and always 'talls." Herbert, in his
the pedigree of "Cadmus" is one of the clear
est and best in America. The horse was
brought from Ohio about seven years since,
and has recently been owned by MIR. Obadiah
Whittier of Vienna. He was purchased some
two months since by Messrs. Means & Butler,
al whose stable on Water street he now
stands. He has produced some fine colts,
some of which have been 'heard from on
the tracks Of this State. Two Of his colts
were at the stable yesterday-one between
one and two years of age and another between
two and three, both bearing the distinguish

ever since the death of her boy her mind
