| IMPORTANT TO TAILoRs. A clothing
mouse OF this city, having made inquiries of the
Treasury Department relative 10 the revenue
YAK on clothing, received the following answer,
which will be found of interest 10 persons en-
gaged in the tailoring business:--
TREASURY DBPARrMENT OFFICE OF THE Con-.
MISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON
October 80, 66.-Gentlemen:-Y Your letter of
the 18th instant, relative to the liabilities OF
tailors, has been received. In reply have to
say that under the act of June 30, 1864. as
amended by the act of March 8, 1866, the tax on
clothing, ETC., was six per cent. ad vaorem
,l And tailor exclusively engaged in manufac.
turing to order, as custom work whose pro-
duets, including materials, did not exceed
$1,000, was exempt from duty. Under the
act OF June 80, 1854, as amended by the
per cent, and tailor exclusively engaged
in manufacturing to order as custom
work, whose work, exclusive OF material does
not exceed $1,000 per annum, is exempt from
duty. When the work exceeds IN value annu-
ally SlOOO, the party manufacturing to order as
above, can have no claim to the exemption
under section ninety-four, but is liable to a tax
OF two per cent. ad valorem on the entire
amount of his manufactures, unless he NAV be
entitled to the exemptions under the provisions
OF section ninety-three OF said act. The tax on
clothing is IN all cases on the entire value of the
same Including material, labor, and profits and
not on the increased Udtue given to the materials
by making, or, in other words, on labor atone.
This Is the case when tailor makes clothing
from materials furnished him by his customer
as well as when he furnishes the materials him
self. In this case he has the right to charge the
tax to the customer furnishing the material.
Yours, respectfully,
THOMAS HARLAND, Deputy Commissioner.

eight were adults and three children, twenty
i've were males and sixteen females. Several
of the deaths reported were from cases of the

SLEEP AND DEATu-As men begin
to be about fifty years old, cspcciall,
of sodontaHy habits, the feeling on ris-
ing in the morning is as if they had
not gotten enough of sleep, not as much
as they used to have, and as if they
would like to have more but cannot
get it. They look upon healthy
child sleeping soundly with feelings
of envy. But it is curious to observe
that their is bliss to all in the act of
going to sleep, bliss we become cog
nizant of only when we Happen to be
aroused just as We are falling into a
strong sleep; and there are strong
physiological reasons to suppose that
this state is Il counterpart Of the great
event that comes to all, the act of dy-
ing. In fact, those who have in rare
cases bean brought back to life when
on its EXTREMIST verge, and in several
cHscd rs to those who have been rccov-
crcd from drowning and other modes
of Strangulation, or simple smother
ing, tho expressions have been on re-
turning to consciousness, IIow de-
liciousP "Why did you not let me
goW An eminent man thus brought
back, represented that tho last re-
mcmbcred sensation of which he was
he was conscious, were as if he were
listening to the most ravishing strains
hf music. Let us all, then, cherish
The thought that our approach to tho
sleep OF the grave is the strict coun-
tcrpart of the approach of sleep.
