Pensions for Rebel Soldiers.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The application OF rebel soldiers for pensions,
and the collection of fee for prosecuting such
claims by pension agent, would seem to be the
height of absurdity or the worst of swlndles.
Yet such cases actually being investigated
by Commissioner Dudley. The agent implicated
in this transaction is n. W. Fitzgerald, of this
city, of whom so much has been written that
his dlsoarment from practice before the Pension
Bureau is IL certainty, unless he withdraws vol
unfairly, while he has chance. Colonel Dudley
Will make a call upon Fitzgerald for an exrana-

fore him is apparently convincing, the appiica-
ton for pension stating plainly that the soldier

his Hne residence property during the past week

real estate owned by him are reported to be for
sale. These preparations indicate his retire
ment from business. and it is understood he in

The Packing Boxes of Imported Merchan-

Inc OF imported NAerCnan
disc Not Dutiable.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 26.-SeereJary Fol
ger has just rendered an important decision with
regard to the construction of the new tariff law
relating to packages and coverings of imported
merchandise He holds that the cost OF value of
the outside covering into which the goods are
finally put for land and carriage, is not to
be taken as part addition to the value of
the goods, nor the value of the goods to be con
sidered as enhanced by reason of that outside
covering having been put about them. The cost
to che manufac urer and wholesale foreign deal
er OF boxes cartons or other things, which are
put WITHIN or upon, or about goods by him as
part of his preparation OF them for exposure to
sale Is not TO be inquired for arbitrary part
OF the market value, and that cost in exact
amount added to an already ascertained market
value of the goods part of the duJiable value
thereof, though that cost may be element in
evidence of what is the value of the goods and
may so far be considered. The dutiable value
of the goods is not TO be the market value which
they would have if they were offered for sale
without that preparation.

Inc STATISTICS are lAtended TO represent the
fishing interests for 1880. The first Holsters
ever canned within the limits Of the United
States were put up IN Esstport in 1S42, and,
with the exception of a limited business in
Boston at various times, Maine, has always
had monopoly of the industry for the entire
country. In 1880 none were canned outside
OF the state, and the table, therefore, shows
the extent of the business for the United
States. The entire lobster catch of Maine for
the year is found to be 14.234. 1872 pounds, of
which 4,739,S9S pounds were sold fresh, and
9,44, 2S4 pounds were put up by the twenty
three canneries located in different parts
of the state. Several of these can
Deries were owned by Boston capitalists but
the great majority belonged to Portland dealers,
who, in addition to their home interests, oper-
ated II canneries in the British provinces.
During the same season according to the STA
tistics furnished by them, they bought 10,5S8,-
578 pounds of live l,bsters from the Provincial
fishermen, from which they put up 2,19S, ,024
cans OF the various brands.
The sardine industry is peculiar TO Maine.
In fact, IL we expect the menhaden. put up in
NJ W Jersey several years ago, under the name
OF 'shadines" and "club- fish," the industry
was, up to 1880, confined exclusively to the
village of Eastport. Though experiments
were made in the preparation of herring as
sardines as early as 1885, the business did not
practically begin till 1875, since which time it
has grown with remarkable rapidity. In 1880,
as shown by the tables, it furnished employ
ment to over 1.600 fishermen and factory hands
in addition to 376 fishermen belonging to N wv
Brunswick, and the value OF the products
amounted to nearly 1926, 600.
