Frontier "reminiscences.
To the Editor Of the Globe:
Before the war was on duty as q captain
of cavalry tn the department Of Texas and
often the wild Indians would make forays
upon the frontier settlement for the purpose
of replenishing their stocks. On these occa-
sions they never committed murder unless
they found some lone man and in that case
be would be filed with arrows and scalped.
Events Of this character were usually reported
promptly TO the nearest military station
when detachment Of mounted men would
be sent in pursuit. Under such circum STAN
ces the Indians would attempt 10 escape by
routes which would avoid other settle
ments, rendering it necessary for the sol
diers to take provisions with them for none
could be obtained in the country they would
have TO traverse. Often the pursuit would
continue longer thau was expected,
and in consequence the supplies would give
out, and if no game could be procured II
would become necessary TO kill one Of the
animals and subsist on its flesh. But the
necessity was not OF frequent
occurrence. On one Of these trips came un-
eIpectedly upon town containing about a
thousand tenements. Previous to this moth
ing had ever been known of this town and
my surprise in finding myself the discoverer
OF this vast settlement can be more easily
imagined than ! can tell it. At once de-
cided TO eneamp for the night and investi-
gate the habits and customs Of the inhabi-
tants, and when / give the facts connected
with my researches they may seem to be on
the order Of Munchausen, yet / assure You
that every word / shall write shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. There was not court house or Jail
in the town from which / readily
inferred that it was a peaeeable
community-that each member was law
unto himself or herself, and acting upon the
golden rule no courts or jails were necessary.
There was not a saloon or gambling house in
town, and none Of the inhabitants ever drank
a drop Of liquor in their lives. There was not
a church nor school house in the place.
The streets were not graded and the occu-
pants never paid any taxes or assessments.
There never was carriage or any other We
hicle employed by any one in the settlement.
Base ball was unknown, as they published
no newspapers and received none from with
out. The males and females dressed
scantily though neatly and modestly
As there was not dry goods store in the
village the females did not wear silk or satin
dresses, and the males never wore claw
hammer coats or tile bats. Not single one
knew who was president of the United States
and did not care TO be enlightened. After
acouainung myself thoroughly with this
isolated community, l christened it
PRAIRIE DOC Town.

Proposed Ca6in~t Appointments.


To the Editor Of the Globe:
ST. PAUL, Dec. 3.-''The mills of the Gods
grind slow but sure" "Keep your grist in
hand and your turn will inure."
From the appearance of the political at
mosphere in Illinois, at present, the Hon
John A. Logan will be delegate soon TO pri-
vate life, and thereby reap the reward he so
justly earned for his persistent efforts in at
tempting to prevent justice being done a
fellow citizen and brave soldier, one who
exclaimed in his defense, 1.-THE thousand of
dead rebels in front of my company, now
at Malvern Hill, show whether was a traitor
to my country or not. A" one who has suffered
more than death, and that the incoming ad-
minstration will no doubt see that his dis
abilities are removed, and he reinstated ere
tits too late, to full citizenship. As a partial
atonement for what he has suffered we
would recommend Gen. Fitz John Porter
as proper person for our next secretary OF
war. And next as having been abused by
the same influence, we say give US for our
next secretary of the navy, Gen. Geo. B. Nc
Lellan. With these two at the head of
those respective departments, at the end OF
four years every American citizen will hold
up his hands and thank God a change was
made in the administration of our political
affairs 'ere 1t was too late. These are the
sentiments of prophet, but an old Dem
ocrat ana a close observer of events, who
believes in no north nor south, no east nor
west, but a united country embracing every
section alike. Respectfully yours,

THEY WON'T FIGHT.
Quibbles, Quirks and Dodges Re-
sorted TO to Avoid the Mill
Another Fipht.

According to an agreement mutually en-
tered into by the parties concerned, Billy
Wilson and Z. A. G. Smith, the colored
pugilists, and their representatives, met at
Mr.. Barnes saloon yesterday at 3 O'Clock to
make arrangements for a match. There was
q desire on the part Of Wilson to go in for
hard glove, Marquis of Queensbury rules,
6ght to a finish. Smith and his hackers
would not sgree TO this, but wanted four
round mill. After great deal Of quibbliDg
and unnecessary talk an agreement was
finally come to that it should be an eight
round fight, the supposition being that would
be equal to fight to a finish. 1t is but JUS
tice to Wilson to say that be was eager
for q fight TO the finish, as he
claimed that was the only way to settle
who the best man is. Smiths crowd did not
want the match made for a finish for some
cause When this was all settled, then came
the war over the articles of agreement There
seemed to be disposition on the part of the
managers Of the two men TO be somewhat
bull headed. and to try to pick up disagree
mept on every occasion matter how small.
First there was a dispute over the second de-
post. Smiths hacker found out Wilson's
man was not prepared to put up the money
on the spot and consequently wanted to
call the fight off. This was finally settled
and the young man who was drawing up the
articles of agreement went ahead until be
came TO who should be the final stake holder.
Here again there was trouble. Several par
ties were mentioned, but an agreement could
not be reached Smiths hackers would not
agree to any one but their man, and Wilson
would not accept him, consequently The fight
was declared off for the present, although
the principals declared a match would be
made before long.
Smiths backer claims the reason he held
out so strongly for his man for stakeholder
was that there seemed to be disposition on
the part of McAlpine to object on account of
his being a colored man.
Late last evening Mr.. Smith and bis
hacker called at the GLOBE Office and with
drew his preliminary deposit Of twenty-five
dollars.
Ed. McKeown, who fought at Winnipeg
some weeks ago with T. A. C. Smith, of St.
Paul, arrived in ST. Paul last night. He has
come here for the purpose OF training for a
fight he has on hand with F. c. K. Fullerton.
The terms are that the two shall spar TO a
finish with soft gloves, for $500 aside, and
to govern. The fight is to take place in the
city of Winnipeg in sixty days from Nov. 25,
1884. Mr.. McKeown called upon Mr.. Barnes
last evening. and accompa panied the latter
to the Olympic theatre where Barnes spared
with Paddy Norton. Mr.. McKeown will
probably go into training here.

Mr.. Smith and Maj. Riddell.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 4, 16s4.-In the Day of
last evening it is evident that ''Veritas" is
ashamed of his dirty work, or he would write
over his own name. We remark:
L. 1t is an evidence and a matter of rec
ord that ''the newspaper accounts of Mr.
Riddell's war record' were written or in
spired by man who obtained his informa-
ton from conversation with Mr.. Riddell''
and correspondence with his friends, thus
making Mr.. Riddell morally responsible for
their truth.
2. 1t is a remarkable and significant fact
that all the letters l ever received favoring
the pretensions of Major Riddell were pub
lished in my pamphlet. l never received a
letter from Fort Smelling in which Mai. Rid
dell was referred to, either directly or indi-
rectly. l will publish all omissions and
omitted letters if ''Veritas" will pay the ex-
pense.
B. "Mr. Smith was not rebulked by DR..
Riddell for impertinence." third party,
himself clergyman, was present at that in-
terview, and his written statement differs
materially from that of Major RiddeIl.
4. Some months ago we were sufficiently
notified that the first Baptist church was
able to take care Of its own affairs, and do
not know why we should be notified again,
and in this public manner.
5. We fail to see what connection our
business affairs have with Mr. RiddelPs case
He has to deal with ''publie records and Ger
tain reputable gentlemen To ring the
changes on ian excellent members will not
relieve his case. The records of the
war department show that Mr.. Riddell
entered the army in October, 1861, and that
for the entire period Of his service he was
marked on the company rolls as ''present for
duty" except for few weeks in 1862, when
he was detailed as waiter in hospital at
Frederic, Nd. How could he have been
present for duty with bis company and at the
same time been for weeks in Gen. EwelI's
camp!
AT the meeting in the chapel last Monday
evening, when Mr.. Riddell presented what
was expected to be vindication, if his state
ment justified the name, it seems to me that
instead of closed doors and vigorously ex-
cluding all outsiders, the house would have
been open to all and the widest publicity in
vited. Instead of this, we are only served
with another ote of Confidence
The following is from prominent Baptist
clergyman, referring to this case. II have il
in my heart to be tender and lenient towards
any man VINO is severely tempted, and in
an hour of evil surprise and overwhelmn ming
passion gives way. But for this premeditated
and studied effort to build ones self UP into
favor and prosperity by unequivocal falsify-
ing, / have contempt which has little OF
none Of brotherly sorrow.

kills It's influence and spoils the good and

Attorney General Hahn replied as follows
yesterday to several questions concerning
bridges and highways, propounded to
him by A. G. Eaton, attorney of Wright
county:
First-Are adjoining counties obliged to
build bridges over streams dividing them in
the towns adjoining in each county refuse to
build them2
Answer think not. I am not aware of
any law compelling them to do so.
Second-Are towns obliged to build over
such dividing streams2
Answer-They are not, in my opinion.
Third-Are the several towns in any
county obliged to build and keep in repair
county roads and bridgesl
Answer-They are obliged to keep such
roads in repair, but not to build the same,
(See section Sc, chapter 49,
Fourth-Is a county liable for damages
sustained by reason of defective or broken
bridget
Answer-If the defect is In the construc-
ton Of the bridge and the bridge is
county bridge or part of a county road, then
the county is liable. If such work is under
taken by the county it must be done in a
workmanlike and suitable Wharton

defect is q latent defect and the
