The Black Hawk War Of 1882.

There are frequent references in the
papers to the "Black Hawk War" and
many will be glad to know what it was.
During President Jackson's first adj
m%inistration, the Sac and Fox Indians
of Illinois, under their leader, Black
Hawk, gave the government so much
trouble us to cause q war. Their lands
had been bought by the United States
a quarter of a century before, but the
Indians still continued to live on them,
and when the mark of civilization
brought settlers to their borders they
refused to withdraw and held u SO
successfully against the troops of the
government of Illinois that at last Gen
eral Scott was sent against them with
nine companies of artillery. His troops
being oyertaken by cholera in Chicago,
he could not reach the scene of action,
but General Atkinson, in several de-
cisive battles, the last of which occurred
August 9, 1882, defeated the Indians
and took Black Hawk captive. After
spending some years in the East, the
Indian chief saw the futilty of resist
ance to so powerful a nation, and was
allowed to retire to Iowa, where he died
in 1888.

There is an interesting account in
Harper's monthly of the government
work now in progress on the dams des-
igned as retaining walls for the great
reservoirs at the hcadwaters of the Mis-
sissippi. There are to be seven of these
dams and the principal one at Lake Win
nebigoshish is already we'll advanced,
work having been prosecuted continu-
ously for eighteen months. It is to be
fourteen feet high-that is, the water
line i'll the reservoir when filled will he
fourteen feet higher than now. The
river winds among & great succession of
marshes and now and then spreads out
in broad shallow lakes so that the back
water from this dam will cover an i'm.
mense 9 The theory is that the res.
ervoirs formed by these dams will be
sufficient to hold or store up o great
share of the rainfall of a drainage area
estimated at 7,4O0 square miles from
November 1 to July 1 in each year. As
q rule the Mississippi below st. Paul
falls SO In July that great difficulty is
experienced by steamboatmen, and this
low stage, so detrimental to navigation,
continues through August, September
and October. 1t is expected that from
the reservoirs enough water can be dis
charged to at least double the ordinary
minimum flow for one hundred days and
That at no time during the summer will
the stage between st. Paul and Lake
Pepin fall below four feet when this
system on the upper lakes is completed.
