ARRIVALS FROM THE CELESTIAL LAND.-The
books of the Charleston Hotel show, for the past
two days, two arrivals from China and one from
japan. Messrs. V. Espantoso and w. C. Forester
are from the iowery land; while NJ. y. A.D.
Goner is from Japan. The two last-named gentle
men are tourists who, having been long residents
in Asia, are now visiting the different points of in
terest in this country, The heroic part that
Charleston bore in the late conflict has rendered
her name historical, and the battered walls of
Fort Sumter have proved sufficiently attractive for
visitors from foreign countries. The tourists will
to-day take sail around the harbor and inspect
the different Notifications. 1t is seldom that
Charleston is feTored with visitors from such
distance, and + is pleasure to know that our city
has attractions sufficient to detain them, and
hotel where they can be made to feel thoroughly
at home.

THE QUICKEST WAY TO MAKE MoNEY.-Thero Is
an abundance of land in the South, but that land
REQUIRES carefcl cultivation. Increased care must
make ND for decreased manual force, and one acre
must be made to do what ten acres have been
IN the habit of doing. Manures and fertilizers
must be used without stint, and it may be taken
as certain that one hundred dollars laid out
in manure will produce three or four hun
dred dollars profit II this is the case with the
bieh-priced guanos and the costly manufactured
super-phosphates, how great mus. he the profit
when the fertilizer can be Lought at five dollars
per ton. No material is richer IN the elements OF
fertilization than that which couposes the old
Confederate nitre-beds. These are equal to any
manufactured fertilizer and they the great sc
vantageof being offered for sale at the rate OF hVe
dollars per ton, in quantities to suit the purchaser.
AN advertisement in another column gives a'l
necessary particulars; and, judging by the glgan-
tic fruits and vegetables that were rais ed by the
use OF this fertilizer last year. an investment III
the nitre-bed material, at the Potters field, is
the quickest way to make money.

THE WADMAIAw Island DIFFicULrY.-We learn
from friend, who left Edisto yesterday, that the
freedmen on Johns, Wadmalaw and Edisto
Islands are extremely demoralized, and are almost
useless as working hanls. Promises were made
by Chamberlain and others of foIsy acres of land
and mule if they voted the red ticket, and threat
ening them with q return 10 slavery in case they
disobeyed. The passions of the deludcd negroes
were at once aroused and but for the prompt ac-
tion of the authorities, some difficulty might have
occurred At present the Islands are perfectly
quiet but the negroes are very unsettled and use
less, though no fears are entertained of another
outbreak

INFLUX OF STRANGERs.-The list OF hotel arrivals
,onblisbed in the News shows that the Palmetto
CITY is not ignored by the travelling public, but
that the advantages now offered both foT business
and pleasure are duly appreciated. Many of these
arrivals are merchants from the interior who are
here for the purpose of making their winter pur
chases; but there is also good'y sprnkllng OF
pleasure visitors, among whom are several OF the
Co,ps Editorial who are taking noIss for their
;o,rnals. This rush of travel has been Caused
nr;ncinally by the announcement that the far

MINNESOTA THE COUNTRY PoR CoNsUNPr-
IyEs.-The ST.. Paul Pioneer has obtained from
the State Department at Washington . copy
of an interesting report by Dt. Lsas, our con-
sui in Madeira, upon the subject Of " climate
as curative agent in consumption" The
report will be published in the Commercial
Relations for 1867. Its author is an educated
physlcis n, was for several wears at the head of
the Health Department of Baltimore, and has
served as consul, in Central America, Russia
and Sweden, and is now at Funchal. Madeira.
He says that the long-established reputation
of Madeira resort Tor consumptives il
:. disintegratng." This fact may be accounted
for by the increase of consumption among the
lower classes of the island by the vexation with
which the stupid government surrounds invalids,
and by the revolving system Of begging which
is allowed and encouraged in the streets Of
Funchal. Southern France and Algiers do
not possess so fine climate, but they more
accessible, the local authorities are polite and
active 10 their care of visitors, and the curren,
Of invalid travel has turned from Madeira to
those countries and to Egypt. The climate of
all these southern resorts, DIR. Leas thinks,
is still to be recommended to nvalids in the ad-
vanced stages of consumption, where the
utmost that can be secured is the prolonga-
ton of life. But to persons " in the frat
or forepart of the second stage he recon-
mends residence in the high northern lati-
tudes, especially in Minnesota. The object to
be attained is the thorough oxygenation of the
blood

CHINESE IDEAS ABOUT EUROPEANS AND
THEIR RELIGIoNS.-An English correspondent
from ShanghR writes follows:
Some iil-feeling has been created at Pekin
by the erection OF temple by the French
missionaries at q spot where it could overlook
the Emperor's grounds. They are, however,
said to have allayed this annoyance by promis-
ing not to raise it sufficient tly high 10 overtop
the palace walls. Not only IN the capital,
however, are missionaries creating ill-feeling
which naturally extends 10 foreigne generally.
A proclamation has been extensively posted
throughout Hoonan and the sdjacAnt provinces,
denouncing at length their interference with
established customs, and calling on all loyal
subjects to rise aud exterminate them. All
foreigners are yciept" English - by Chinese
who have not learned, at a treaty port, to
distinguish between the different nationalities T;
so on the head of the English by name are the
thunders invoked.

generally, the whole food of the writer's wrath
is directed against missionaries. "Those who

deceptive extravagance to set loose the estab-
lished bonds OF society, utterly regardless of

divided into he two sets of Roman Catholics

Spakes at Dinner.
HOW REPTILES AIRS FED AT THE LONDON zoLoG-
ICAL GARDENS.

George Guyon, IN the Science Gossip, gives
a curious account of the feeding OF the sna-
kes in the London biological Gardens?
AS probably NOS many of my readers have
witnessed the operation of feeding ,he reptiles

Hints About Health.
HOW To KEEP ThK FEkT DRY.

We take the following suggestions from
Hall s Journal of Health:
Various expedients have been devised to
keep the dampness from the soles of the feet.
Some advise that piece of sail cloth or other
woven material, should be cut in the shape OF
the sole, dipped in melted pitch or tar, and
when cooled. placed between the layers of the
shoes sole and we'll sewed. If this is care
fully done it is impossible for any danpness
to penetrate to the soles OF the feet by simply
walking on damp ground but in walking in
wet grass or The slosh of snow deep enough
to reach the upper leather, this device is no
protccrcn.
Another means of rendering the soles of
shoes imperv Gus to oampness, and to prevent
their sQueaklrg, is to set them In melted tai
low deep enough to merely cover the soles,
and let them remain week; if 1t is IN a
mixture of equal parts of beeswax and tallow
II Is still the oetter.
A gentleman AYERS that from six years of
experience ana trial, the soies of shoes are not
oaiy made water proof but will last three
times as long Ii q coat of gum cOpai varnish
Is applied to the soles and repeated as it dries.
until the pores of the leather are flied, and
the surface shines like polished mahogany.
The soles' OF ehoNs may be made inpervious
TO water by rubbing the following mixture
into the leather, until it is thoroughly satu-
rated one pint of boiled linseed oil ; half a
pound of mutton sues SIX ounces of pure
beeswsx ; four ounces OF rosin. Melt these
over slow fire, stirring well, and when the
shoes are new, warm them and the mixture
also, and use.
Or put pound each of rosin and talow in
a pot on the fire, and when melted and mixed,
apply while hos. with a painters brush. to
both soles aud upper leather. If it is de-
sired that the boots should take a polish i'm
mediatelv. dissolve sn ounce Of beeswax in a
teaspoonful each Of turpentipe and lamp black
a dsy OF two after the boots have been treated
with the rosin and taiiow. rub over them tins
wax auu turpentlne, away from the fire.
Thus the exterior will have coat of wax
alone, and will have bright polish. Tallow
and grease become rancid and rot the stitch

mixture preserves both.

gentle heat; warm it when It is used, and
rub 1t into the leather before the fire, or in

Newspapers often sermonize the great ques-

ally On the obligations of international Law
and the duties tp each other of government

YANKEE Notions IN PALEsTINE.-The
Philadeiphia Inquirer, noticing the arrival Of
the America colony at Jaffa, says:
'' This emigration to the Holy City will be
but beginning of the hsgira which will pop
ulate jerusalem with dIeadfully smart pee
pie. They will introduce to the benighted
Asiatics subsoil p!ows, moving machines. steam
engines, and the electric telegraph. They viii
transform the appearance of the Holy City.
They may put up a cotton factory on Mount
Mofish, and r1n a saw-miIl with the waters OF
the brook Kedron. They will plant Indian
corn on the Mount of Olives. and perhaps
pumpkins in the Valley of Hinnom. Beam
poles will support their leguminous treasures
ia the Valley of Jshosaphat. The establish
ment of a Congregational Church on Mount
ZION, and the erection of gas works opposite
me Hebron Gate, may be reekoned among the
possibilities of this strange emigration, which
recompsnses the world for the migration al
ways hitherto from the East to the West, by
sending few pioneers back again lsssEe
