UPoS this tenth anniversary of the great
fire. remembering our own necessities and
the magnificent manner in which the world
came TO our rescue and relieved all our
wants, some thought should be given to tile
sufferers by the terrible forest fires in Michi-
gan. Their losses have been proportionately
greater than ours, and hardly one-fiftli the
amount necessary to relieve their distresses
has yet been raised. Upon such day rs
this, above all others, the people Of Chicago
should think Of them and determine to do
their part in making up the deficit. There
can be 10 more grateful or graceful recoglil-
ton Of the charity that came to us than to
extend like charity to others in their sore
trials

THE CHURCHES IN THE DECADE,

Tile religious growth Of the city in the last
decade has been steady and gratifying, but
not so remarkable as the development Of ma~
terlal interests. In 1871 there were in Chica-
20 lGS churches and thirty missions. In 1851
the number Of churches is 2ls, and of mis-
sions seventeen. Many of the missions Of
tile earlier periotI have since become
churches. The comparative growth of the
several religious denominations may be seen

EFFECTIVE FORCE OF THE ARMY.
Gen. Sherman in his annual report
to the Secretary of War, requests
that officer to recommend to Con.
gress the enlargement of the army,
80 that ecah of the 420 companies may
contain 60 enlisted men, commanded
by three commissioned officers. He
regards the companies as now con-
stituted too small for effective SER
vice on the frontier. and the trans
portation of so many seperate ergan-
izations ADDS largely to the cost of
the campaigns against the Indians.
The proposed change would raise the
enlisted force to, &c, $50 men, which
would give about $4,000 fighting
soldiers-the maxium number allow
ed under the existing law. Gen.
Sherman further recommends the
enlistment of force of non. combat
ants, such as clerks. prison guards,
hospital stewards and signal detacn-
ments to the number of 1889, which
would bring the whole enlisted force
up to 3O.449.

Making Watches.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not fit
ting well, admit dust and dirt to the muve-
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out II
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENFD GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the Jewel
cry trade, possessing as 1t does so many adj
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their Jeweler for a card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner In which
they are made.
II Is the only STIFFENED CASE made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendents, and
centre, solid Joints, crown pieces &C.. all OF
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy no case before consulting a JeweleT
who keeps the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFEN-
ED GOLD CASE, that you may learn the differ
ence between IL and all limitations. that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers. Ask
to see the warrant that accompanies each
case and don't be persuaded that any other
make of case is as good.

inc that there is any of the county's
money remaining in my hands, they
need have no fears of making it, as
