In connection with the fact that the
average earnings Of operatives show
slight increase over the previous year, it
is gratifying to be able to state that the
cost of living has decreased; the price of
groceries, provisions and general supplies
being considerably lower than they were
year ago. owing, In part, to the vigor-
GUS competition for the valuable trade
of Pullman.
This, in measure, also accounts for
the increase in the savings bank deposits.

ANeglected Food.

One most valuable article of food is
strangely neglected in the house of many
working people-rice. 1t is cheap.
wholesome and nutricious, and it may be
cooked IN great variety of ways. All
vegetables and farinaceous foods are nu.
tritious, and when properly prepared,
digestable. They are not equal to ani

Chemists say that pound of meat is
about equal in nourishment to a pound
and half OF rice and bread. But the
cost of pound of meat is equal to that
of four pounds of these.

neat was modihed.
In northern counties have observed
the rouJeot more particularly on vines
in small patches in vineyards where the
undulations of the surface have pre-
vented thorough drainage, also with re-
spect to certain varieties such as the
"Charbono" and "Crabb's Black Bur
CANDY" on rolling land, where the sur.
face soil is shallow, everything cold damp
clay. DR.. Stillman, of Lugonia, has
forwarded to our office samples of leaves
and frIt affected as described above, in
the case of rougeot. AT first it was sus.
pected that the affection on the vines
referred to by DR.. Stillman was of
fungoid character, the specimens sent
for examination being in poor condition
for study, after long journey by ex-
press. l am now of the opinion that
the trouble with the vines affected in
his district was this rougeot, more or
less of the same nature rs the affection
complained of at Anaheim, caused by
similar conditions.
Where the sun-struck vines are no
very seriously damaged, it would be
well to prune very early-even before
the leaves fall, so as to prevent the
of morbid conditions
from dying parts toward the roots.
Possibly benefit might have been real
lied by pruning the vines promptly in
summer, as soon as they were noticed
to be injured, but this is coDjectural only.
Fruit and nut trees were in many
cases affected in like manner after the
heavy wet season two years ago. Men
tion of this fact may assist both horti-
culturists and viticulturists in forming
correct opinions.
l should not forges to remark that
those vines which showed feeble growth
in the spring were probably those
affected by apoplexy last year, and in
dictate what will be the fate of those
severely attacked for the first time this
year.

Che Recent DSOi.iUu Vt second Comptroller
of the Treasury Maynard.
beciai Dispatch 10 tS LAeIltOaIe6r.
WASHINGTON, May lO.-second Comp.
troller Maynard has recently rendered an
important decision under the additional
bounty act Of July 2S, 1865.
The decision Is to the effect that every
soldier who enlisted after April II, 1861
ior period Of not less than two years, and
Sas honorably discharged after serving
two years for the purpose Of enabling him
TO accept commission, Is entitled 10 the
additional bounty Of fifty dollars author
lied by the thirteenth section Of that act
provided he was not entitled to any
greater bounty than one hundred dollars
under the laws existing at the date Of the
PASSAGE OF the act, and provided his claim
was tiled in time.
The act Of 1858 authorized the Secretary
Of War TO prescribe rules and regulations
for the payment Of the bounty therein
provided for, and one ol the rules pre-
,cribed by that officer reads as follows:
"The provisions Of the act exclude from
its benefits those discharged during en-
listment by way Of favor"
Ithas hitherto been held that this rule
preCluded the payment OF additional boun'
" to q soldier discharged for promotion
even though he had served for period
exceeding two years before being promot
ed, The Comptroller has decided thai
soldiers who were discharged for promo
tion were not discharged by way Of favor
within the meaning Of the rule, and hence
that soldier who was discharged for pro.
motion, alter serving two years as an en-
listed man, Is entitled to fifty dollar
bounty under said act, II all other condi
| tions imposed by thelaw are lulalled.
This decision is not applicable to any
claims for such additional bounty which
were mot filed until after July /, 1880, tht
time for filing such plaims having expir

TREIeaT nANDLERs' STRIKE
At Chicago OvSF-soms Of the Companies
Take Back All Their Old Men.

CHICAGO, May l0-All the railways in
the city resumed operations this morning
and are accepting and caring for all
freight offered without limit, The situa'
ton, however, as affecting the freight
handlers, is still unsettled, and has devel-
oped unex pected phases, The Baltimore
& Ohio Get ita men to work this morning,
concceding them an eighthour working
day with nine hours pay. The freight
handlers on this road have not been act
ing in concert with other city freight
handlers, and gained their victory by in
dependent negotiation with the company.
A committee OF tue striking freight
handlers called on Agent Bell, Of the
Fort Wayne road, this morning, to effect
q settlement. They intimated to him that
all the old men must be taken back or
none would 60 TO work. He answered the
committee with refusal to agree to such
terms, and said that he would discharge
none OF the imported men who wished TO
stay. A canvass among the new men later
showed that q good many Of them wished
10 return home. They will be furnished
with transportation and old hands taken
In their places II they wish 10 work.
The Wabash strikers were notified that
they would have to agree to quit the

TO do so and oil returned to work, but
some were put in other departments and

The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago

company said It had q full complement Of
new men and would not disChRrge them.
The strikers left, very much detected.
The Grand Trunk took back all its old men.
0ne hundred Of the l50 Illinois Central
strikers responded to the company's notice
that after this morning none OF them
would be taken back, and returned to
work. The places Of the others are filled
with imported men, and will not be dis
charged, the officials say, under any cir
CumstanCes. The old pay and the old
hours will obtain in the freight house.
All tho freight handlers who struck at
