Pierre, d. T. is greatly excited over the
following order:
Cheyenne River Agency, April 10, lSS6.-
Gentlemen: In accordance with instruc-
tiOns of the honorable commissioner of
Indian affairs, dated April :, 1855, you are
directed to at once cease your trading es-
Establishments on the rescrv ration, and upon
date of this receipt you are allowed thirty
days to leave the said reservation. Respect
fully yours, CHARLES Z. MCCHRSNEY,
United State Indian Agent.
Fort Pierre numbers population foyer
eight hundred people who have resided on
this tract of land for the past ten years
Substantial business houses and residences
have been erected, and TO enforce this order
would entail the loss of over half a million
dollars. Merchants in this village carry
stocks Of goods averaging from ten to
twenty thousand dollars, while theirplaces
of business equal any in South Dakota.
The mile square on which the settlers have
squatted was sold TO the Chicago q North
western railroad several years ago, but not
ratified by congress. This contract was
made between the head chiefs of the Sioux
tribes by authority from the interior de
partment. Ex-Agent Swan had about the
same order from Commissioner Price, but
wrote the situation fully and il " as modi-
fed Mai Swan decided that the land be-
longed TO the Chicago q Northwestern
Railroad company, and that he as agent
had no authority over the residents of Fort
Pierre. He was sustained.
Mr.. Spri ger has introduced bill in the
house providing for the admission of
Dakota. The bill provides fer the adj
mission OF the territory without division.
Provision is made for an election, TO be

monopolist and friend of the laboring
man, occupies his own house. 1t is one
of the finest in Washington,a and situated
in the fashionable Northwest quarter
1t is furnished regardless of cost and
with some pretense at taste. Notwith-
standing the sumptuOusness of his sur
roundings, the Senator from Nebraska
retains in his own person ali the SIN
plicity, not to say primitiyeness. of the
class whose cause he SO frequently
champions in the Senate. In the midst
of his Turkish hangings. Persian rugs,
japanese vases wainscOted ceilings,
and stained-glass windows Mr.. Van
Wyck sits in his shirtsleeves, in slip
pers. smoking his pipe, perhaps, or
drinking his beer, while his visitors
listen to the wisdom which drops from
his lips. He is one of the most con-
spicuOus figures in the Senate, though
heartily disliked BY his colleagues. who
think that he violates the proprieties
of life and offends the dignity of the
Senate when he Is merely eRlivening
the dizziness of the proceedings by some
sally or hurting the tender susceptible
ties of persons who differ from kin IN
matters under consideration.

Diversified interests have demanded horses of
distinct characteristics, and the artist, Edwin
Forbes, has beautifully illustrated several
popular types that the breeders art has pro-
duced. Number one is the trained trotter Of
Hambletonian-M ambrino blood in working form,
the highest type Of skilled performance, not
only Of muscular, but mental and nervous de-
velopment. Number ? is a son Of Alexander's
Norman, kept as a stock horse, and shows how
naturally the trotting blood assumes the perfect
form of the ideal horse, through the enforced
idleness of the stud. NumAer 3 is the speaking
representation Of all that is powerful and grand
in the IDEAL drafthorse. This is an English
shire horse--a great prize winner, called, Eng
lands Glory" and represents everything that is
solid and commercial in the horse. Number 4
10 also prize winner, and shows more of the
lighter Latin hood from the other side of the
channel. The Percherons are the French ideal
draft-horses, with greater speed and somewhat
lighter bodies than their English cOntempora-
ries. They are rather more popular in this
country for crossing native Mares and can
always be see1 contending for prizes at State
and National agricultural fairs. Number is a
new candidate for popularity in this country.
The nobility OF Russia have long shown taste,
similar to that OF the weather. classes of Eng
land, for the horse, though of late years it has
partaken more Of the American character in a
| love for speed on the road, and there has been
developed in Russia what Is called the Orlofi
breed of trotters not heavy, but strong, making
frst-class carriage horses, with snowy action
and certain snap and vim about them, that
looks almost wicked This breed has never
been trained for great speed at the mile dash {;
but for four or five miles and longer distances.
| it Is said to have no equal. They are especially
adapted TO long and rapid journeys with the
sleigh, and present very picturesque appear
ance 10 their peculiar fashy trappings in st.
Petersburg and other large cities in Russia.
These are several types Of the useful horses
now bred in the United States and candidates
for popularity with our farmers.
