How to Wear Winter Clothing.

In his experiments to determine the
heat conducting power of linen, cotton,
wool, and silk, Sir Humphrey Davy found
not only that these materials conducted
heat in the order given above, linen being
the best, but also that the tightness or
looseness of weaving possessed an impor-
tant influence. 1t is therefore evident that
in the selection of winter clothing, and
especially of that to be worn next the skin,
the materials of least conducting power,
as wool and silk, should be chosen, and the
fabrics should be loosely woven.
AS regards the external garments the
same rules apply with equal force, but in
this case care should be taken to remove
overcoats and shawls when in warm
room; especially should this precaution
be observed in the instance of the furs
worn by ladies. The habit of wearing
these articles for hours id succession while
shopping and visiting, often so weakens
the powers of resistance in the wearers that
they become the ready victims of infam-
nations of the throat and lungs. To such
an extent does this occur in New York
that many of the most skilful physicians
advise their patients 10 discontinue the use
of furs, and the advice is often followed
with the most satisfactory results.

A STRANGE PHENoMENON.-The Fay
ettesville (Ark,) Ne,Os describes a singu-
lar phenomenon that occurred in Madison
county, in that State. Some of the citi-
zens were astonished by noise like the
rush of cannon ball through the air.
On looking up they discovered something
that looked like a solid column of fire pass
ing with tremendous velocity through the
air, with whirring, kissing sound, some
thing likelthat of a she'll but many fold
louder. About a minute or two after it
passed out of sight an awful explosion was
heard that shook the earth for miles
around, and was heard at a distance of fif
teen miles.

THE JAMES RIVER AND KANAwHA
CANAL.-The surveys for the proposed
steamboat canal, to be called the James
River and Kanawha Canal across the State
of West Virginia, to unite the waters of
the James and Ohio rivers, has been fin
ished. Last winter Congress made an ap-
preparation ofS50, 900 for thepurpose ofmak-
ing thissurvey. The proposed canal is to
be over 200 feet wide, wide enough to ad-
init of the passage of steamboats, carrying
300 tons. 1t will follow the James and
Jackson rivers to the foot of the Allegha-
ny mountains, at point few miles from
Covington, where it is proposed to make a
tunnel under the mountains, nine miles
long, and of the full width of the canal
This tunnel will be over 1000 feet above
tide water. Two miles from the western
end of this tunnel the canal will enter the
Greenbrier river, near the iron bridge of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad over the
stream. 1t is proposed to lock and dam
the Greenbrler, New, and Kanawha riv-
ers to lint five miles below Charleston.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

He Returns 10 the city and Rests From
His Rounds, Knowing He has Done
Great Good.
Mr.. johnson is in the city, and spent
the day yesterday in No. 5 Maxwell House,
resting on the truly trying labors he has
been undergoing recently. He had slept
and freshened up greatly by after-tea,
and was inclined to dwell upon the Incl
dents of the late warm and wearysome
canvass.
He told a Banner reporter that he felt
very well satisfied, be the result what it
might, as he had as the standard-bearer of
the free and Independent people Of Tennes-
see, disrupted the smothering crust which
was formed over the best hopes of the
State. He had the prestige of no conven-
ton, but did the bidding of those who
were sick nigh unto death of such flimsy
shams as had been called conventions in
this State, of late. Mr.. Johnson said that,
while his undertaking had been an inn
mense one, and had taxed his physical self
very severely, he had really enjoyed the
canvass, and many times and many places
it had been like a regular "love FEAST
That gratitude was something sweet to one
who engenders it, That he had been treat
ed so often to the sight of the grateful face
of some one who had CHANGED to receive
some favor at his hands, that he could but
remember the canvass most pleasantly.
He did not say this boastfully, nor as
though it were a mere morsel of self-grat-
ulation, but he spoke itawith genuine,
undisguissd pride, and furthermore said
that, whenever a Tennesseean had come
to him, as had happened not unfrequently,
and said to him, "Mr. Johnson, | want to
shake your hand, y his heart could but en-
JOY it, for it was very dear to him.
He felt fully satisfied that his work had
done great good, and that the dawn of
better day was Illuminating for the State.
Mr.. Johnson was fresh and decidedly in
clined to talk. He observed that he didn't
think anything really definite could be
ascertained concerning the State at Large
Congressional race in less than two or
three days, and spoke as though he had no
fears for the lt,-NdShUilLe Banner, tn.
