It is n trite Bnyint ; that the military
precedes the civil ; the soldier is the forerunner -
runner of the settlor. The remark is
especially true in tlio experience of the
people of the Northwest. In fact , it maybe
bo said to bo an epitome of our history.
For , whenever in the ollbrt to satisfy the
earth hunger , which is almost insatiate ,
there has boon an extension of the
frontier ; or when n now Eldorado , with
its fabolod wotlth , has tempted adven
turers to advance far into the wildornrss ,
it has over boon the soldier's pnrt to drive
back or hold at bay the savage Indian ,
and to repress the equally savage and
lawless wiiito man until the civil organi
sation has boon effected and the life and
property rendered eocuro. The erection
of the military posta nlons the navignblo
strnams or on interior lines of communi
cation lias boon the signal for settlement ,
and the period which has elapsed since
the establishment of a fort and its aban
donment can in general bo said to bo a
measure of the rate of progress. But
apart from this view of the frontier post
at avi advance guard on civilixation , there
is hardly ono of thorn which does not
possess in iU past history something
of BUfllciont interest and importance to
ho worthy of mention. Sometimes it is
the story of bravo and manly endurance
of hardship and suffering , of hair-breadth
escapes from the savage Indian , or of
deeds which for true gallantry would not
discredit the knights of old. Not infre
quently it is the history of noble solf-sac-
rifico and heroic death. 'Again ' it is some
humorous rollicking story or a tale of love
so full of romance and of thrilling adven
ture that it will provo a a mine of wealth
to the future novelist. In giving a sketch
of the military post in the Northwest , it
will , of course , bo Impracticable , in the
columns of a newspaper , to do moro than
touch upon those subjeota briefly. Already
many of these things have become mat
ters of tradition but they form part of
the local history , nnd , as the country fills
up , will bo proper BtibjocU for research
and record on the part of various his
torical sociotios.
Tilt ! DKI'AIIT.MENT IN SIXTY-MIX.
But first n word of the department in
general. At present the military posta
in the northwest , east of the divide of the
Rocky mountains , are included in what
is known as the department of Dakota ,
which embraces within its limita the state
of Minnesota and the territories of Dako
ta and Montana. It was created by
order of the president Aug. 11 , 1800 , out
of the departments of the Missouri nnd
the 1'Intto , and General Alfred II. Terry
was assigned to the command. In an
order dated from Omaha , Nub. , Sup.
I860 , flon. Terry formally assumed
ulmrgo of the department , and designated
Fort Snolling as Ins headquarters ; but in
April folio wing ho trauaforod headquarters
to Ut. Paul. There were but ton posts in
the department , vis1. : Forts Snolling ,
lliploy , AborcrombioYadHvvorth ( now
Sissotoli ) Randall , Sully , Ilico , Thomp
son and Buford , which were garrisoned
by about 4 000 men , consisting of the
Tenth , Thirteenth , Twenty-second and
Thirty-first regiments of infantry. There
was not a single fort in Montana. Thu
Indian frontier did not scorn very remote
from St. Paul ; indeed the country between -
tweon the Hod and Missouri rivers was a
wilderness inhabited by the Ohlppawan
and Sioux , while beyond the Missouri
was almost a terra inrognita , where uvon
military trails were infrequent , and the
Indian roamed at will. Doapito the suc
cess of the then recent expeditions ol
Generals Sibly nnd Sully , the Indian
question was Htill unsettled. Treaties hud
boon made only to bo broken , and thu
Indians had become so insolent and tin
demands of the uottlont wore so urgent
that prompt and onergotio action watt re
quired. The first atop taken by Gon.
Terry was to increase the number of post
in tlio department , and orders were given
for the erection of several during the sea
son of 1807A post was established at
Cheyenne river and Forta Ransom , Tot
ton , Stevenson , Shaw and Ellis won
built. These forts , and others wind
have since boon erected , wore locatcc
either in the immediate vicinity of the In
diau agencies or at strategic points , tin
idea being to keep the .Indians within tin
limits of the reservations and as far a
possible- isolate the various tribes am
prevent them from combining together o
communicating with each other. Sine
1807 the building of these outposts hai
kept pace with the progress of the coun
try.
THK DKPAIITMKNT OK TO-1)AY.
Of the ton original poata , live havi
been abandoned ; but from time to time
as necessity has demanded , others havi
boon added , so'tlmt to-day the department
mont contains , including the station a
Camp Poplar River , nineteen garrisonec
posts. In the northeast h situated For
Pombina ; Fort Snulling is the most cost
orly ; in the uxtromo south lies Fort Ilan
ilivll ; while the southwestern frontier ii
guarded by Fort Moado. Near tin
western line of the department lioa For
Misaouln , and in the extreme northwos
and not far from the British boundary
is situated Fort Assiuuboinu. Since it
creation in 1800 , uo few r than thrci
rogimonta of cavalry , and fourteen rogi
meats of infantry , have at difforon
periods soon service in the department
and ita importance as n military com
mand can readily bo estimated from th
fact that for n long time fully ono'thin
in" the available military force of th
United States was on duty within it
limita nor hoa it boon holiday soldieriii ;
for these troops until within the pat
year almost incessant warfare has boo
carried on with the Indians , either wit
single bands or , as in 1770 , with th
combined force of the Sioux nation
There has boon campaigning through th
heat and dual of summer , and during th
bitter cold and through the drifting snow
ot winter. Besides this , the scouting
escort duty , tlio guarding nf trains an
the usual routine of the garrison , hav
combined to make the lot of the oflicei
and mon alike not altogether an onvmbl
or happy ono.

Thocircuit court room wns ngain crowd-
nd ypstcrdny , nnd the now fnmous trial
of Thomas Crittondon , charged with the
murder of Rose Museby , was continued ,
Mr. CaUwMl opened by a powerful speech
for the dt-fonco , nnd was followed by Mr.
Cnruth in n speech of exceeding force and
eloquence. Ho roncludcd nboitt noon ,
and the jury retired to the jury-room.
Hour after hour passed nway nud still
the jury brought in no verdict , nnd the
crowd lingered on. Dots were freely
made that there would bo a hung jury
or an acquittal ; and some oven wont so
far as to nnmo jurymen who woroin favor
of letting the young man off. The court
room was full of Crittpndon's friends , all
anxious for an acquittal. The dinner
hour arrived , nnd the jury were taken
over to the hotel. They returned ,
and there was still no vordict. Just at
1 : 0 o'clock the foreman of the jury
rapped for a deputy sheriff , nnd the
jury slowly and solemnly tilled into
court.
"Aro you agreed upon a verdict , gen
tleman ? "
'Wo arc , " they responded.
There was an instant hush iu the
court room , Not a whisper was hoard.
Atone end of the ununsnl's table sat
young Tom Orittondon , a handsome , stal
wart , finely funned \ouug follow of 25 or
thereabouts , with a wild looking eye nnd
rod mustache which ho was incessantly
oling. At his side sat his mother , n
oil-preserved old lady , whoso silvered
air and gentle face were objects of uui-
orsal pity. Near by sat the boy's father ,
i honored and rvspuctod gentleman ,
ith n strongly marked face and an eagle
> yo. Cloao beside the prisoner sat his
wo aunts. The lawyers were grouped
bout The clerk slowly road the finding.
Wo , of the jury , find the defendant
uiltv of voluntary manslaughter , and
x hm punishment at eight yonrs in the
onitontinry.
This was the finding after a few errors
'l boon stricken out of it.
The effect of the verdict on the crowd
as electrical. Without knowing why ,
early every man in the court-room VIM
n his foot. Every ono seemed to hold
is brotth and watch the prisoner. Mrs.
'rittundcn throw her artm about hoi
oil's nock ard laid her head on his shoul-
or , bidding her face from sight. Her
uivoring form told of her emotions. The
thor ladies sought to comfort the stricken
nothor. Young Crittondon nervously
ullod his moustache , while his face
.row white. Ho was strongly affoated.
ilis fatlior scorned broken-hearted b >
ho verdict.
The sight was a sad but picturesque
no. The court-room wan just growing
lusky , nnd the long rows of silent spocta
; ors who looked moro like statutes thur
neil , the young man bringing to a folon'i
ull ono of the proudest names in Ken
uckyand the grief of his mother and futh
v were truly affecting. It was an nwo
trickon crowd , for hardly a man proacni

nothing in getting up facts and witnosse
ind to him is duo in a great part tin
ight verdict received Tlio evidence WH
terrible in its directness , and the onlj
wonder is that Crittondon did not got i
'ifo penalty.
HOW TUB JUKY 81OOI ) .
When the jury wont into their roon
nt VI o'clock the first thing they did wn
to take a bullet on the guilt or innoconc
f the accused. They were unanimous ! ;
of the opinion that ho was guilty. The !
the next thing was to find out whatshouli
bo his puniihniont. Two of the jur ;
were for willful murder Messrs. Kondai
.tnd Loathtiruiaun punishment death
and ton woto for manslaughter. Of thes
ton ono was for two years , ono for toi
yoiir-i , nnd the rest ranged all the way uj
to fifteen years. Oapt. Jack Woathorfon
moved they ballot on giving him to :
ye-ius. This was done , and after consid
ornblo argument the two wilful murdo
men came down to twenty years and fil
teen years. There was much talk an
argument , but the jury hung at this. A
length , after half a doxon ballots , the ;
all agreed on eight years.
A WILD BOV'h CAKHKIt.
The story of Tom Crittondon is ono t
"point a moral. " Never did a youn
man have n moro brilliant career ope
before him. Ho received ns his inhuri !
unco an historic name that had neve
boon dishonored till ho bore it. Hi
father is a man of power and intluonc
nnd the hightost social and political circle
in the statn were open to him.
But the boy began budly. After n wil
college life ho went to his native place
Frankfort , where his career was on
long carouse , from the time ho was ol
enough to drink until ho loft. Ho wa
not a dishonest 1 id nor n wicked ono , bn
was of a boisterous and unruly tempori
mont , delighting in tights and liuiid-t <
hand encounters. His inseparable con
panion was James Arnold , the son of
preacher. Many in this city romombc
"Jim Arnold. " A braver , Handsome :
gallantor young fellow never broathot
tall and straight , with the form of Apoll
and the face of a cchool-inil. Jii
Arnold sober w > s the joy of hii friend
and Jim Arnold drunk vras the torrc
of all whom ho mot. Many a ( ion
carousal did those two youn
men have in the quiet little town <
Frankfort. The gossips nf the town lo\
to toll to this day ot their wild prank
how onoxlay they both stripped nake
and ran around the square , in the broa
day light of day , insanely drunk an
shouting like Indians , how they onterc
a barber shoji and strung up and obno :
ious apprentice over a transom till 1
* ns nearly dead ; how they mot anotot
ons courtezan walking across the Fran !
fore bridge , and , stripping her nakoi
flogged her for her crimes and made hi
promise that she would leavu town ; ho
they used to dash through the sthie
whooning like wild Indian * ; and numbo
loss other evidences ot their duredov
recklessness. Mono wore so quick wil
the iwo of the pistol as they , and noboc
doubted their sourogo.
Poor Jim'Arnold ! Ho died out wei
with his boots on , shot through the hear
facing the man w ho killed him , and d
f > ing him to the last. Crittonden ho
the strength of a young bull , and n
excess scorned to hurt him Ho oamo I
this city to tuko n position under h
father , who was then United Stati
nnrshftl , and rignalized his coming I
fiuhtmg a sensational prize fight wit
Policeman Hiiyh Bell. The fight wj
the talk of the town nnd for weeks the
pnpcrs wore full of it. Ilia history
hero was one long succession ot brawls.
Even after ho killed Mosoby ho d d not
discontinue his drinking. All the ar
rangements had been mndo to have him
pardoned by C5ov. Blackburn , when Crit
tendon nnd two others nearly kitted n
bar-keeper in n saloon fight. After that
the governor refused to interfere. After
all , it is no unfavorable comment on
on Kentucky civil ! ation that n jurj o
Kcntuckinns sentenced the grandson of
John J. Crittondon to n long term in the
etnto prison for killing n negro.

imiNKING STATISTICS.
Gradual Reduction of "Whisky-Drink
ing.
The consumption of spirits in the
United States is discussed by the Kev.
Dr. D. Dorchester in a recent issue of
The Now York Independent with the con
clusion thut the average per capita con
sumption was five gallons n head sixty
years ago nnd not over two gallons n bond
now. Toniporatico advocates , with moro
sentiment than sense , will probably bo
amazed at this conclusion , but no intelli
gent student of the progress made in the
last sixty years in restricting the nvils of
whisky-drinking will be surprise i nt this
assertion , agreeing , ns it does , with all
that is known on the subject of Ameri
can dram-drinking. In the last sixty
years the production of spirits has not
grown as rapidly as our population , the
use of alcohol in the arts has increased
enormously , and the consumption per
adult for drinking purposes is probably
much less than half what it was two gen
erations ago.
Dr. Dorchester rests his case chiolly
on the records of Now England towns ,
whoso consumption of rum at the open
ing of the temperance campaign was
something frightful , and is probably not
to bo equaled to-day in the worst slums
of our worst cities. Fitchburg , Mass. ,
consumed throe and one-half gallons to a
person ; Dudley , in 1820 , six ; Shrews
bury five , and Wilbraham four. In
Connecticut every family in Salsbury
made nwny with twenty-nine and one-
half gallons of rum In a year , and Fairfield -
field in 1813 disposed of sis and one-
third gallons to a person. These places
were small villages of 1.4UO to 2,000 in
habitants , but the cities wore no hotter
oil' . Troy , with n population of lO.OOQ ,
consumed 7VOD ) callous in 1820 , and
Boston and New York" had , relatively ,
more places where liquor is sold than to
day.
Temperance ad vocal ea .are never very
safe authorities as to the total consump
tion of spirits. The census of 1840 puts
the production of distilled liquors at
about 00,000,000 gallons. At this early
potiod nearly all spirits were drunk.
Nearly half is to-day used in the arts ,
and , with a population three times that
of 1840 , the total production in taxable
gallons was only 75,200,57(5 ( , of which
: iolJ7,204 ) : gallons were made up of high-
wines and neutral or cologne spirits and
10.718,700 of alcohol. The proportion of
spirits for drinking purposes was , it it
true , relatively less last year because of
the overproduction in this direction fet
throe years before ; but the average for
the last ten years is nearer the figures ol
1881 ! than of 1881. The simple lesson of
these facts is that with three times the
population , the United States probably
drinks no moro spirits than in 1840 , noi
to observe this decrease is it necessary tc
po back forty years. Our population has
advanced 30 per cent since 1870 ; distilled
spirits withdrawn for consumption ir
1870 , 177,203,808 gallons , was larger than
any year since. If the average of con
sumption for the throe years 1870-1-2 ,
07,417,000 gallons bo compared with th (
average for the lost three years 71,224 ,
000 gallons the advance is barely 5 pei
cent , instead of six times this , as tin
growth of population demands.
The cause of this decrease is probably
duo in not unequal shares to the inllu
once of the temporancp agitation and tlu
progress of boor-drinking , but whatovoi
its cause , incalculable misery has boor
saved by the change in the habits of tin
American people a change whoso paral
lei may bo sought in vain the world over
and which stands n significant proof oi
the self-control fostered by free institu
tions.

Brooklyn car conductors are nowoblig

nocks. The faces of these are big am
plain , covered only vf ith thick glass. Bj
these the passengers can toll the timi

sometimes passengers catch hold of ant
turn thorn around , like as if they wen
