THE BLACK HAWK WAR.

The sturdy pioneers who occupied
Northern Illinois and Southern Wis
consin for civilization sixty years ago,
often had the monotony of frontier
| life broken by coflicts with the lndi-
ans. The last struggle of any impor-
tance in this section occurred in 1882,
and is known to history as the Black
Hawk war, the moving spirit in the
savage outbreak being the noted
Black Hawk, chief of the Sacs and
Foxes. Gen. Henry Dodge, after
wards senator from Wisconsin, was
the leader in the hot pursuit which
finally brought Black Hawk, with his
warriors, women and children, to bay
nnar the mouth of the Bad Axe river,
on ihc east bank of the Mississippi, in
what is now Vernon county, WiscOn-
consin. The sun of the second day of
August, 1882, set upon bloody field,
and the result was the death of near
ly all the, and the abrupt close of the
campaign. The chief himself es-
capped and died years after at his
home near Rock Island, Ill. The 10
cality the ba4tle is now marked by
the village Victory, SO named from the
engagement, situated on and reached
only by the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern R. R., the Scenic line"
which touches most of the historic
spots in the upper Mississippi Valley.
For further information as the at
fractions of the line, tickets, rates and

NEW YORK, Sept. PA morning
paper says: Ex-President Cleveland and
wife have returned to their city resi-
dence, 315 Madison avenue, having come
from Buzzards Bay on the steam yacht
Oneida. This sudden return to the city
is said to be on the advice of the family
physician of the Cevelands, who was
called to Buzzards Bay last week in an
ticipation of the interesting event which
is expected to occur very soon. Society
is much agitated, and although only the
nearest of Mrs. Cleveland's friends are
admitted to her presence, cards and
other remembrances from her friends
pour in steadily.

GENERAL sELIyERsKoFF.
The Russian Official Recently Executed
by the Nihilists of Paris.

81. Petersburg Letter in New York Tribune
The true cause of the assassination of
the late General Seliverskoff at Paris does
not appear 10 be generally known. His
murder is ascribed in official circles here TO
the fact that he was engaged in the peril
Gus task of making census Of the Rus
slams resident in France. Much color is
lent to this assertion by the strange and
mysterious murder of Colonel NJ. 4. p.
Cheremetieff in February last at his
Partisan residence in the Rue eau
martin. The colonel, who was one of the
most distinguished members of the i'm
perial police department, had Just begun
the census when his murder took place;
and the danger TO which General Solver
skof was exposed in undertaking the con-
tnuanCe of the work Was so well known
here that there were actually three men,
bers of the Russian secret police delegated
to watch over and protect him while
making the census. With regard 10 the
latter, IL is worthy Of note that il is NOT
alone the Nihilists, but also many wealthy
Russians OF high station, who are inter
ested in the abandonment of 4 census of
the cars subjects in France Large num-
berS of them reside both in Paris and along
the Riviera who have abSented themselves
from their native land without having So
cured the requisite authorization, and who
consequently run the risk of the conhsea-
ton of their estates and of other equally
dlsagreeahle penalties If official Conarfus-
tion is secured of their shortcomings. To
not few the completion Of the census
meant total ruin of both fortune and sta
ton. nder the circumstances il Is not
altogether surprising that attempts should
have been made To terrorize the imperial
government into abandoning the task.
The personal appearance of the genera
