WOODEN CLOTHING.-lt is not zen.
orally understood how clothing keeps the
body cool in hot weather and warm in
cold weather. Clothes are generally com.
posed Of some light substance, which de-
hot conduct heat but wooden substance,
are worse conductors than those made Of
cotton or linen. Thus, flannel shirt
more ffrcluslly intercrpts or keeps our
heat than liLrn or cotton one and
whether in warm or cold climates, attains
he end Of clothing more ttfrctuallv.-
Fte exchange of wooden for cotton under
shirts, in hot weather, is therefore nm
error. This is further proved by ice
being preserved from melting when it j.
wrapped in blankets, which reiard for a
long time the approach of heat to it,
These considerations show the error Of
>upposing there is positive warm h ia
the materials of clothing. The thick
cloak which guards Spaniard again,
the cold Of winter is also, in summer, used
by him as a protection against the direct
rays of the sun, and while flannel Is our
warmest article of dress, yet we cannot
more efectualy preserve ice than by
wrapping the vessel containing i; in many
fold, ofthe softest flannel" Black clothes
are known to be very warm in the sun I;
but they are Gar from b-ing so in tn
-hade, especially in cold weather, when
the temperature Of the air j. below that
of the surface of the skin. We may thus
gather the Importance Of attention to
clrildren's clothing. II is an absurd idt a
that, to render youn. limbs hearty, the
body must be exposed to the undue in,
huences of our capriciouS climate.

NoTEs OF THIRD SERIES OF 100
row READY.-The demand for the Sec
ond Series of 100 Notes was so grea
that the Treasury Department was un-
able to print them with sufficient rapidly
to ell the orders. 1t will be remembered
that hundred millions were subscribed
and paid for in a single week. The
printing presses have finally surmounted
the difficulty, aud on Wednesday, june
7th, the deliveries Of the Third Serie,
commenced, and will be continued with
the same promptness that marked the
supply OF the notes of the first and second
series. II has been this interruption Of
delivery at the time Of subscription which
has given an appearance Of falling of
in the popular taking of the loan, the
great body of small takers being unwil-
ling to pay their money unless they re-
ceive their notes right in hand, to carry
them home. 1t is expected that after
this week the daily subscriptions to the
Seven,Thirties will run up into millions,
as they will undoubtedly be stimulated by
the opening of the farmers wool markets
East and West. 1t is not at all likely
that the Government will eyer again offer
so desirable a security as these notes, and
about two hundred millions only remain
TO be taken.
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and in.
vestors must look for sharp reduction
in the rate of interest as soon as the.
present loans become due, and can be-
paid Off There is no reason why the
United States credit for money should
ever again fall below its credit for cour-
age. The same spirit that preserved the
geographical integrity of the country will
place its pecuniary integrity on par
with that of the most favored nations
and that will represent a rate of interest
under rather than over four per cent.

JEFF. DAVIS IN GOVERNMENTAL
letter from Fortress Monroe, dated last
Monday, states that since his irons were
removed Davis takes his confinement
resignedIy. He is allowed no books but
the Bible and the Book of Common
Prayer, and is not permitted to have
pen, ink and paper. He has neither
chair nor tAbls in his cell. One officer is
always inside, and two sentinels who
pace their rounds, so that the arbitrator
is always under the eye of one of them.
Davis seems very anxious at lines to get
up conversation with the soldiers, but
this is strictly prohibited. Clement C.
Clay spends his time principally in smok,
ing. jeff does up good deal of think 4.
ing. 1t is believed that his thoughts are

Of Bnessincss and anxiety in every coun

adds:

REBEL IMpUDENoE.-A New York

REBEL IMPUDENCE.--A New York
contemporary thinks it is time that rebel
impotence had taste of the severity to
which il is richly entitled, otherwise we
will have Toombs demanding the right
to call the roll of his slaves on Bunker

ting himself up as a candidate for the
Presidency on the platform Of Southern
rights, the payment of his Southern Con
federacy debts, and the reputation OF
those contracted by the Union in the late
war against Southern rights" A rich
sample of unsophisticated rebel impu-
dence is thus presented:
John A. Wise, brother of Henry A.
Wise, ihe Virginan rebel Gpn' raj, who
admits that his four sons had been in the
rebel army til its surrender, and that he
and bis family had done all they could
toward the success of the rebellion, re-

manding at Norfolk, demanding that the
government should supply him and his
family with farming implements, horses
and SEEDS, claiming restoration of his
citizenship rights, and complaining Of his
suferiHgs ami losses during the war, and
that his sons were not allowed TO wear
their rebel uniform. Gen Gordon's re-
ply to thi. impairment secessIoni't gave
him TO understand that he and his sons
had been traitors to the government, and
were entitled TO 40 tavors from it, bu,
