The Leaf. Lecal Tobacco Market. Thcic has been very little business done in tobacco during tbc past week. "We bear of no sales of old leaf, jobbers and manu facturers being apparently afraid te buy, for fear the tax en tobacco will be lcmevcd by Congress, and a decline in prices speed ily fellow.

Tlie Relation Uctweeii Dersey, I.r.nly and the ('itrllcld Republicans as Seen Through Stalwart Spectacles. The New Yerk Commercial Adcatixcr has printed a letter from its Washington conespendctit in relation te the "con tinued abuse of the star route people by the se-called 'Garfield Republican ' papers,'' which abuse, the correspondent asserts, ' is likely te bring out some inter eating matte: s in which these eminent and high-minded patriots will appear in anything but respected colors." Refer ence is also made te a statement in an article published in last Thursday's Timet, declaring that during Mr. Hayes's term its. Washington correspondent "had begun te expose the star route frauds ami Postmaster General James was no mei e instiumcntal in the prosecution of Brady than a district attei tiey, with evidence before him of mur der, is guilty of prosecuting thy pe:s;en diieclly charged with the crime." Further j en rclcrcuce is made te the lact that uen. Gatiield was a Republican leader in the Heuse dining 31 r. Hayes's administiatien, and must therefore have been familiar with the star route frauds and tho.-e concerned in them, and that during the campaign in which he was elected piesidcnt he wrote lettei s warmly indorsing both Brady and Derse,, two of the principles in the star route ring. Alter touching briefly upon the new historical dinner r.t Dc!mou:ce"s in honor of Dersev, and the celebrated speech of the editor of the Tribune en that occasion, the letter con tains a paragiaph devoted te ex-Postmaster General James in which the assertion is made that it is susceptible of proe! that when Themas L. James was put into the cabinet he was net expected te take up the work which has made whatever reputation is left te the Garfield adminis tration. Bcfesc he had any intimation he would be a?kcd te enter the cabinet he had accepted the presidency of the Lincoln bank in New Yerk. General Garfield was appiiscd of this, and it was an understood thing that James would remain in the cabinet only a short time. He was te be a sep te the Conkling men or rather a gag te keep them quiet, if they should be disposed te make any uproar. Whether General James understood the uses te which he was te be put is net ma terial here. It is enough te say he served the purpose for which he was designed. In his letter te President Arthur, dated December 13, 1881, he says he is obliged te leave the cabinet by January 1, te carry out an agreement he made with the direc ters of the Lincoln bank. It can be proved that thiB engagement was entered into ba fore he went into the cabinet, and that it was an understood thing when he took office that he would ictire iu a short time. The 'Garfield ltcpubl;caus,' however, de clare he was was forced out, bat if they don't get -forced' into the worst positieu they have been in yet before this business is ever, a geed many signs will fail.'' Fur ther en the correspondent asserts that General James went into the posteflico department because he desired te accem plish certain reforms," such as the reduc tion of p"-;..ige te 2 cents ; that the prose prese prose cutieu of the star reute .ring was net in clu led iu his list of proposed reforms at that time, and that "there is reason te believe that these who suggested his name for a cabinet place had no idea that he would pull down the hornet's nest about the ears of the'Garfield Republicans that came se seen after." Tbc letter closes with the assertion that all the foregoing facts, " which can be verified," " show that the relations between the leading star route people and ' Garfield Republi cans,' who ought te have known what was going en. were very close; that until Arthur became president and had appoint ed au attorney general of his own no effort worthy the name was made te punish the widely advertised alleged criminals." The 1'elletier Pavement. Memphis Appeal. Frem Niles 3Ieriwcathcr, esq., we have received a copy of official correspondence respecting street pavements, of which the following is the substance. Hen. Alexan der Mitchell, of 31ilwaukee, writes te C. S Waller, recently commissioner of public works at Chicago, inquiring as te the ex perience of the latter city in street paving, 3Iilwaukce having in vain -sought iustone, iron, asphalt and weed, a satisfactory ma terial. Iu his reply 3Ir. Waller states that a heavy expenditure by Chicago in street pavement hail resulted in great disappoint ment, as it was all the lime " giving out," leaving holes and breaks. An imperish able, hard, and adhesive substance was required, that will combine durability, heaithfulncss, ami cheapness. Weeden blocks had proved a delusion ami a snare ; they v.cie very short lived. Granite blocks are clean, healthy and durable, but they arc of irregular size ami becorue- " turtle-hacked and slippery m use, arc noisy and tee expensive. "Willi blocks made of crushed htone compressed the uoise is reduced. Limestone macadam makes a geed foundation, but en the sur face it docs net answer ; it cuts away rapidly under heavy traffic and makes much dust ami mud. Limestone asphalt blocks arc subject te much the same ob jections as macadam ; it is net durable. It wears away three quarters of an inch un der traffic that scareely touched the granite and the Pelleticr pavements. The IVlIeticr blocks arc firm, cheap, handsome, clean, healthful and durable. Laid down complete, they cost about 62 a square yard. They are made of hard, durable stone, crushed, dried, and mixed with ten per cent, of iron slag, or low-grade iron ere, with a thorengh infusion of a chem ical combination of oxide and chloride of iron, which acts as a psrpctual binder, growing harder, firmer and mere granite like with age and .exposure. They arc subjected in the manufacture te powerful compression, which renders them dense, compact and absolutely impervious te water. The blocks have an even, symmet rical surface, with slightly beveled edges, which give a geed foothold te horses. Their evenness and almost im previous jeinings shed off the water, and thus preserve the foundation. Laid com pactly from cuib te curb, across the crown of the street, it gives a flattened arch, the uniform pressure of which aids in keeping intact the foundation, and prevents sink ing and depression. When fresh the blocks resist the influences of heat and cold which appear only te season and harden them mere rapidly. I have seen, says 3Ir. Waller, the severest tests applied te them with weights en iron wheels, pro pre pro pellcd by machinery, up te ten thousand six hundred and thirty-two pounds, passed many thousand times ever them and granite, paved side by side. After this scvcie test the Pelleticr showed little, if any, mere wear than the giauite, the abrasion being very slight. The surface, of the Pelietier block is comparatively rough, without the polish or slippcrincss of granite, ami I am satisfied they will stand the wear of our streets. Iu hard ness, permanent adhesiveuesss and imper ishableness essential qualities te i n.su ic durability and in cleanliness, heaithful ncss and moderate price, we have in the Pelleticr blocks what meets and fulfills all the requirements. I have received many inquiries concerning these blocks from a number of surreuudiug states, and the demand for them premises te beceme very great. In 3Iemphis we want a pavement material embodying the qualities here at tributed te the Pelletier blocks, but sue ces3 with them evidently depend.-; upon the care and accuracy observed in manu facturing them. These who contract for them ought te have a competent and tiustwmthy Kiipuiutcndent at the works te sce that thu ingiedients :ve of of geed quality and in due pro portion, and that the proper pres sure is applied te secure density and haul ness. Te leave these things solely te the maker would most probably bring only disappoint men1;. I'e.seutiit!' an Insult te Ills Wife. A !ti-ititn L-.or' Nose I'unclici! by a ISo.s ISe.s ti;n ComiiiiHglen Merchant. The musical nobility of Bosten is this winter worshiping Geerge Ilenschel and his symphony orchestra, giving concerts in .Music hall. Geerge F. Hall, a commission merchant, has owned three seats en the fleer, near the stage, which have been oc cupied by lady members of his family. The t we adjoining seats have been occu pied by Charles Eustis Hubbard, a lawyer, and his wife. Hubbard has always sat next te 3Irs. I all, and the lady claims that his conduct has been insulting. Charity led her tn think for a number of evenings that Hubbard's conduct was the result of neiveusness, but last week she became convinced otherwise and informed her husband, who is mere muscular than the man of law. 3lr. Hall arranged with his wife that he would wait in the lobby of 3In-ic hall en Saturday evening while the concert was in progress, and that if the insult was repeated she should join him. Accordingly, in the', middle of the evening's performance, 3Irs. Hall left her seat and passed out of the hall. A me ment later an usher informed 3Ir. Hubbard that a gentleman wished te sec him in the lobby. With his hat under his arm, ar rayed in full evening dress, the unsuspect ing lawyer ambled te the nearest deer. Ne sooner had his eye glasses passed the portal than a stalwart list shattered them, started the blecd from his nose, which bespatteied his shirt front, and carried away all of his teeth. Thcic is no telling what would have fol lowed had net all the ushers in the hall separated the angry husband and his vic tim. The police detail also took a hand and stilled the noise. 3Ir. Ilubbaid persistently refused te make a com plaint, and no an est was made. 3Ir. Hall used every cff.nt te induce a complaint, saying that he should be supremely happy te appear in court and vcutilate Hubbard's conduct. He begged the officers te arrest him anyhow, but as there was no complainant, they were forced te refuse. Hubbard, covering the wound en his face with his handker chief summoned his wife from her seat, and telling her that "it was nothing," they get into their cairiage, and wcre driven te their home as quietly as possible. All the parties move in the highest circles and live in the most aristocratic part of the Back Bay. Au l'xpiorien of Gas. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning an explosion occurred iu the Union building in Chicago, in which are located the gen eral offices of the Associated Press and the Western Union telegraph office The p!at3 glass windows in various parts of the building wcre destroyed, and much of the weed work, plastering, etc., injuicd. The disaster was caused by a boy with a lighted match entering one of the vaults where gaa had been escaping since Saturday. I The boy is perhaps fatally injured. HAPPY BIRTHDAY .

The 75th birthday of the poet Longfellow was celebrated yesterday, net only at his home and his native city of Portland, 3raine, but in various ether cities, Seuth as well as North. In Cambridge, 3Iassa chusetts, selections from the poet's works were read iu the public schools, a nd sketches of his life were given te the pupils by the teachers. During the day friends of 3Ir. Longfellow called at his house te congratulate him, but, owing te his re cent illness, there was no demonstration. In Portland flags were displayed en many public buildings and private residences, and in the evening there was an apprepri ate meeting and celebration by the 3Iaine historical society. In Atlanta. G corgi;, there were exercises in the public schools similar te these in Cambridge, ucaily five thousand children, white and colored, par ticipating. The day was celebrated in Baltimore by the branch in that city cf the Chautauqua literary and scientific cir cle. A letter was read from 3Ir. Lougfel Leugfel Lougfel lew acknowledging their congratulations. The S2d birthday of Archbishop Purcell was celebrated en Sunday at St. Ursnla's convent, in Brown's comity, Ohie. The Archbishop was taken into the chapel in a chair, and after mass, a pleasant letter from Cardinal McCIeskcy was read, and a number of floral tributes were presented te the venerable prelate. A number of visitors were present. Tlie IllverR Fullitu;.

Several hun dred men wcre kept constantly at work strcughtcning the levees. Advices from 3Iemphis report the river at that point at the highest mark reached this season, and rising slowly. The flood in the Lacenia circle is increasing, and ereat destitution prevails. Along the White river bottoms, in Arkansas, the water is from two te four feet deep, and there have been heavy losses of stock. Great alarm was felt at Helena, where a further rise was expect ed. A telegram from Vicksburg says thcic are breaks in the Catfish point and Kentucky levees, which will flood por tions of Bolivar and Washington counties.
