Much more interest is being taken
in fast walking horses than formerly.
For several years past no stable was

this purpose.

On the question of the administration
OF oxygen gas in cholera Dr.. Moreau
Morris, chief sanitary inspector of
New York, says that he exhibited it to a
cholera patient in that city in 1866, at
time when he was experimenting
with it chiefly in lung diseases; that
in other cholera cases he also used it
where collapse had occurred or was
feared. His opinion is that where the
the patient was only just going into a
collapse the inhalation of the gas was
effective, but in the case he expert
mented on the patient was already
in a state of collapse, and was not
saved
At that tisae, however, the genera
ton of oxygen gas was attended
with much difficulty. It could not be
procured abundantly enough or suffi-
ciently pure. Now, however, its
manufacture has been reduced to a
system by which it could be produced
as abundantly as desired. Neverthe-
less its production is still expensive.
This fact together with the difficulty
of carrying about bulky retorts, DR..
Morris believes would tend to restrict
the administration Of this gas among
the poorer classes during a cholera
epidemic, and that hence its useful
ness would be chiefly in hospital prac-
tioe

One more presidential proclamation
has been issued on the subject Of the
Oklahoma lands, warning off all tres
passers and threatening the use Of
force should it become necessary. This
has been done before on more than
one occasion and the army has bean
employed to enforce the order against
would-be settlers on these Indian
holdings, but after every attempt the
land thieves come again to carry out
their nefarious projects. It's the duty
of the government TO protect the In
dams in their rights, and there is not
the slightest doubt as to the right Of
the Indians to these Oklahoma lands.
That Payne and his periodical raids
have been endured so long IS proof of
the governments patience and desire
to avoid the use Of force: This is very
laudable, but Payne and his followers
are not only nuisance, but also Grim
mails, IN that they are SEEKING 10 de-
prive another man of what is justly
his-a title that is fully recognized by
the law. With the cry that the lard
should be for those who can use it,
that the Indians are not land cultiva-
tors and therefore ought not to be al
lowed to remain in possession of their
holdings, we have no sympathy; and
we believe that ell that the Indians
now have should be preserved to them
until some other we'll defned arrange
ment is perfected, Payne and his
land grabbers should be suppressed,
but we fear that stronger measures
than proclamations will be required
