A JIan Who Slee;s in His Stable and
Claims to Understand Hirse Talk.
Sau Francisco News Letter.
There is a retired trainer, named
Long, residing on a small farm in Al
ameda County, who lives for nothing
else but the pleasure of heing near
horses. He eats his meals in the sta
ble, oftentimes passes the night in the
same stall with a favorite pony, and
among his equine pets is a mare who
whines in answer every time bespeaks
to her. Our informant relates that
the most perfect understanding evi
dently exists between Mr. Long and
at least three o-ut of the five horses in
his stable. Two are recent additions,
but even in tlieir case the same atlinity
is seen in a lesser degree.
The training of horses, their obedience,
docility, and tricks in a circus, are no
novelty ; all of us have seen a horse
lire a pistol, stand on two leg, waltz,
lie down with its trainer, and perform
a hundred acts of sagacity, but these
are simply the result of patient train
ing and systematic correction. What
Mr. Long claims is far more astound-
incr. lie asserls that, from a life-long
intimacy with horses, he understands
their sneach ; he goes farther, and de
clares that their nassal, guttural,
and unobstructed sounds have a iliffer
ent meaning, are used by the coalition
of the brain and vocal organs, and that
not only do his favorite horses under
stand hini, that every sound which they
utter is perfectly plain to him. When
aiL'uin with him that, though be
miirht comprehend the meaning of the
sounds emanating from the vocal
chords of a horse, vet it was a patent
imposibilitv for a horse to understand
the English language, he replied: "Liv
ing, eating, and sleeping with my horses
has given me tlie knowledge I posess,
and the same lu.itnaey lias acquired
for mv horses the powers 1 claim for
them." Here, turning to a slender
liehl built gray ponv, he said: -Hilly,
we are talking of you; it you under
stand wnat l am saying, turn your
head round on the off side." The pony
did so, and then resumed his feed. "Ril-
lv" he continued ' tell me your age, and
how long you have lived here, and on
which side or you is your friend es
ta?" The non . whined for abovt two
minutes consecutively, and then being
loose in his stall, walked into the ad
murium? one occupied uv me maie
Yesia. "Now lie continued, "do vou
and Hilly walk down togother to the
trough and drink while I make your
beds." Vesta and Hilly walked quiet
ly out and proceeded straight to the
trough.
While they were out, Mr. Long turn
ed over the straw carefully with a
fork, and carried on an animated con
versaiion willi a roan gelding about
fifteen hands high. Vesla's neighbor on
the o her side. The name of the horse
was Poley, and afur talking angrily
to him for some minutes about some
fault be had coi.iniitled the lay be
fore, he ordered Mr. Poley to lie down
and not to get up until after Vesta nl
Hilly bad returned. Our informant
saw bnt little in this to prove Mr.
Long's claims, as inanv a horse will lie
down ;t the word of command; but
when, wilhont further word, Poley
arose and walked out to the water-
trough afiei there turn of the other two
horses, the subject became as dilicult
of !olutiou as beroie.
"DOWN EAST.
TUE EDlTOtt ABROAD.
Old Concord Continued
lu the issue of Sept. 21st, you may
remember I left my readers at old Con
cord bridge and promised a continua
tion of said letter. Other matters niorfl
pressing have occupied my time and
the space in the newspaper since. 1 here
are so many interesting surroundings
about this place, reminiscence that
ire particularly appropriate this Cen
tennial year, that I feel ad if 1 mils,
doss that letter. Then there nre some
comparisons between the X. E. country
and our own, that I desire to draw, be
fore closing entirely these letters from
or about "Down East."
We were at the old monument of 18-
30, approaching from the town. reTrieui-
ber. The road divides and passes eacM
side of the monument, and to the left
of the left hand road lbs the bodies of
the Hi itish Soldiers, slain there April
19th, 1775. An old fashioned rough
Xcw England stone wall L'ounus m
road, and some rude .ctters tell us tins
fact. We drive to the left and on an
oval plot of grass to our right stands
the firstnionomentbuiithere.
I got out of the carriage and stood in
front of the monument, and you may
believe me my sensations were novel
in the extreme. 1 did not think I was
much of a hero worshipper. I did not
know I had so much patriotism or love
of race in me, but standing here on tho
spot where over one hundred years. igo
the first blow was struck for freedom,
the first blood spilled for a great idea,
as 1 looked northward and westward
and fancied the scene as the sturdy
farmers of Concord and Acton and Sud-
bury, marched over the hill, stern,-
strong aud fierce to attack the soldiers
of the greatest military power of tho
ige.perhaps soma of them my own kith
and k, such a sense of the real mag
nitude of this action came over me,
such a largeness of view of the real glo
ry achieved by these men and the per
sonal interest we or me nineieeiuu cen
tury had in this apparently insignifi
cant engagement that I was fairly stag
gered to think how little 1 ever had
thought of the deeds of tho past before.
I wanted to take off my hat and give
three cheers and yet it seemed too grand
and solemn for cheers.
ACROSS THE BRIDGE.
We cross the river on a rustic brulgt
supposed to be an exact imitation of
the original old "Xorth Hridge," and
stand by the grand statue of the
MINUTE MAN' OF '73.
This is a bronze statue, executed by
Mr. Ren French, and represents the)
Farmer-Soldier, or minute man of tho
revolution, standing in his shirt
sleeves, his coat thrown over the plow
at his side, his gun grasped in his hand
ready to do and dare all for his coun
try's cause. The face is very fine.
This statue stands on tho ground
where the first American soldier really
fell. It bears this
IXSCRIPTIOX.
BY TIIE RUDE BRIIUJE THAT ARCTII'JJ
THE FLOOD
THEIR FLAG TO APR' T. BREEZE UN
FURLED, HERE ONCE THE EMBATTLED FARMER
STOOD
AND FIRED THE SHOT HEARD ROUND
THE WORLD."
Although the old monument was
erected in memory of the American
Soldiers, the embattled farmer reaKy
stood on the opposite or the west of
the bridge, .-uid the Rritish Soldiers
came from the east or Roston side of
course. The farmers were rushing
down to prevent the Rritish troops from
burning the stores and munitions over
in Concord, and the Rritish made for
tho bridge and were tearing up the
planks to prevent the farmers from
crossing. History says "they" (the far
mers) "had arrived within 10 or 15 rods
of the bridge, when a single gun was
tired by a Rritish soldier, the ball pass
ing under Col. Robinson's arm, and
wounding Luther Rlanchard, a fifer,
and Jonas Hrown a Concord minute
man. This was followed instantly by
a volley and Capt. Isaac Dayisand Ab
ner Hosmer were killed, one shot in
the head and the other the body." On
seeing this Maj. Ruttrick exclaimed
"Fire fellow soldiers, for Gods sake,
fire!" and shot his own gun in to the
Rritish ranks.
Tlie ground wa low there and the
bridge bad and the first monument (18
3G) was erected where the Rritish sol
diers fell and remained as the only
memorial of the fall of the brave farm
er soldiers until just before this Cen
tennial year.
DEACON HUBBARD.
A curious old fellww. who had always
bfpn p-rieved that this should
C5
be the
cast and that nothing marKed the spot
where the Ainerican fell on tho west
side, left Si ,000 in his will, to be the
nucleus of a fund to erect a suitable
monument on the pot where our own
soldiers first shed tlteir blood. Thai
