IN NEW YOKK. 517 



crowned with diadems of terrestrial glory. Over and above ail 

 these, our session is honored with the presence of Professor D. 

 Magner, a most efficient promulgator of the gospel of peace among 

 our dumb animals. [Renewed cheers.] He has come freighted with 

 messages of mercy and affection to the whole equine race the 

 noble horse one of the noblest servants of the human family, 

 whose sagacity and intelligence entitle this species of animals to 

 be designated as the connecting link between human intelligence 

 and the brute creation. He is a worthy missionary, proclaiming 

 the glorious reign of peace to the long-abused horses of our land. 

 He proposes to educate these faithful servants of mankind. The 

 magnificent exhibitions of his competency to teach our dumb ani- 

 mals to render cheerful service furnish the most satisfactory evi- 

 dence that his credentials are almost supernal. [Cheers.] Good old 

 Paul once came with messages of love to the ancient Jews, who 

 disdained his high commission. Here comes a modern Paul to in- 

 augurate a work which must be accomplished before the auspi- 

 cious day of millennial glory can be ushered in, our excellent 

 secretary, who has seen and heard and believed in the joyful news 

 to the horses of our country, and 



I go with Paul, as every one supposes; 



As for the Jews, why they may cleave to Moses." 



[Prolonged cheers.] 



TAMING HORSES. 



At least we have one man who professes horse- taming, and 

 who at the same time rises above the vulgar tricks of the char- 

 latan. His name is Magner, and at the present writing his tent 

 is pitched in this metropolitan city. He seems to have given 

 honest study to his art, and to have brought a high degree of in- 

 telligence to the study. He regards the horse not as a dull, stupid 

 piece of clay, but as an animal able to draw deductions, and to be 

 molded by firmness and kindness. He appeals to the under- 

 standing, endeavors to make an impression on the brain, and to 

 show cause for every effect. His system is his secret, so we can- 

 not go into an elaborate explanation. We have seen him operate, 

 and we confess that we admire his skill. His best subjects are 

 those which the charlatans pronounce the worst. His system is 

 based upon logic, such a system as is worthy of a controlling 

 power. Mr. Magner can cure the very worst cases. We honestly 

 believe that there is not a horse in the world which he cannot 

 make gentle and obedient. He boldly challenges any one to pro- 

 duce a horse that he cannot handle. Turf, Field, and Farm.
