CHICAGO IN 1820-1871. 
So much Interest attaches to Chicago in conse¬ 
quence of the terrible events thereof the past 
low weeks that wc give illustrations contrasting 
its appearance before the fire with ltsappcaranco 
in 1830. A half century had built tip unity of 300,- 
000 inhabitants with vast commercial relations. 
Its grain warehouses, stock and lumber yards, 
packing houses, manufactories, banks, magnifi¬ 
cent stores, places of amusement, municipal and 
Government buildings, hotels, railroad depots, 
and palatini residences, street railways, swing 
bridges, river tunnels, water works, parks, etc., 
had been substantially built upon a sloughy 
foundation. Tho history of ll.« construction and 
growth isn marvel to those who most Intimately 
know the details t hereof. Andsuporadded to this 
wonderful story is the overpowering and bewil¬ 
dering record of its destruction by fire within 
twenty-four hours, and the spontaneous, un¬ 
stinted sympathy and nctlvoefforts for substan¬ 
tial relief of the suffers which have resulted, the 
world over —a record which is almost, if not 
entirely, without a parallel iu history. 
Wo need add no words explanatory. The 
illustrations are sufficient.

ing is so much needed now ns beans, potatoes 
iiud onions. They are advised by the Sanitary 
Committee that the people must have these 
articles if they expect to escape sickness. The 
Society are informed that many tanners would 
be glad to contribute these nrlieleS, and they 
ask all persons who can to ship beans or onions 
or potatoes tothem. By a little proper atten¬ 
tion car-loads may be made up at different 
places for shipment. The Society also want 
straw bedsof tho usual size for two persons, and

horses and cattle On the night of tho Chicago 
fire, 2,000 people on the East shore ot Lake Mich¬ 
igan. and 5,000 to 6,000 on the West shore of Lake 
Huron were reduced to almost absolute desti¬ 
tution. AVitliln two or three weeks, other small 
villages and settlements have been blotted out, 
nnd the loss on houses, &c., is enormous. The 
fires are still burning, nnd new ones spring up. 
A long, hard and cold winter is approaching, 
and large numbers of these people ore accessible 
only by water, nnd navigation will soon be 
closed. Scarcely a month, or six woeksat most, 
remains in which to feed, clothe and shelter 
them for the winter season, which extends far 
into the spring. They must bo helped now, or 
they will perish. Money and supplies may be 
sent direct to Michigan Relief Committee ut De¬

MtiS. GEN. GAINES’ TENSION. 
In February, 1857, Congress passed a law allow¬ 
ing Mrs. Gaines a pension equal to half pay per 
mouth that Mnjor-Oerl. Guinea was entitled tout 
tho time of his death, wlncti was $200pcrmonth. 
On motion of Senator Seward, a proviso was in¬ 
serted and adopted, which declared that the 
amount, of the raid peuslon Bbould not exceed 
tho sum of $50 per mont h. The compilers of the 
United States statutes, in copying tho original 
bill, omitted the proviso. The Commissioner of 
Pensions in making out the pension lias always 
been guided by the terms of the original manu¬ 
script bill, on file nt tho State Department., nnd 
refused to allow Mrs. Gaines over $50 per month. 
Site is now, through her counsel, contesting tho 
authority of this action, claiming that, she is en¬ 
titled to $100 per month, as provided for in the 
statute book.
