ARTIFICIAL TOBACCO 1.-The Scientific Ameri.
can has the following statements, which are il
Illustrative of the progress of invention in imi-
tatiDg the products of nature:
Tobacco leaves for the manufacture of Hav-
ana cigars are now being produced in New
York, thanks to the industry of some of our
citizens, aided by the progress of chemical
science. The material used is kind of brown
wrapping paper, made of straw especially for
this purpose. The paper after coming from the
mill, is saturated with the juice pressed from
tobacco stems and other offal then the sheets
are rolled through a machine, which gives them
them the perfect appearance of the tobacco
Leaf, and the peculiar spots are printed on them
as on calico. The paper thus prepared is es-
peclaly adapted for wrappers around the CIGARS
and is such an improvement on the natural to-
bacco leaf (being much stronger, more econom-
ical, and easier of manipulation) that the Ha-
vana cigar makers desire no other wrapping for
cigars, and import it largely from New York !;
and no Havana steamer leaves here at present
without taking out quantities of it. These fig
nre up, according to some authorities to 5000
reams in one cargo, and occasionally as much
as 10000 reams of this artificial tobacco leaf
has been exported.
1t is stated that this tobacco-favored straw
paper makes also filling superior to the genu-
inc leaf, and it is impossible to detect the deli
cate film of paper interlapped with some brok-
en- leaves of real tobacco in the finished cigar,
which the paper so very neatly holds in form.
Besides this, the paper leaves no residuum 9TH
er than pure light gray or nearly white ash,
Just like that OF the best quality of tobacco.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The first wire of East
River bridge was stretched across today.
The New York Post Omce.
Hon. Calvin T. Hulburt has been removed
from the SUPPLEMENTARY of the construction
OF the new post Office, position which he has
filled with singular honesty and ability, and
Mr. Oakshot, stonecutter of Washington, has
been appointed In his place.
Steamship Ashore.
The steamship City of Chester went ashore
yesterday, near Bay Ridge. L. l.. opposite the
upper quarantine, and there remains. Her
passengers and mails were sent up to the city
yesterday, and several tugs and steamboats,
have tried to pull her off, but considerable of
the cargo will have to be discharged to tighten
her. She will probably come off during today
high tide, and is not believed to be much dam
aged.
Gen. Butler Hssues Yachting Challenge.
Gen. Butler says: will sail the America rs
miles to windward and return, starting from
Brenton's Reef, in an eight-knot breeze or up
ward, against any yacht of her size or larger, to
equalize on time allowance, according to the
rules OF the New York Yacht Club, for sum
large enough to cover the expense of the race.
