The latter has been put up by a Japanese engineer, and is in successful operation. It is five leagues in length. The Emperor is so well pleased with the invention, that he has ordered telegraphic commu nication to be established between Jedo and the provinces of Cokinaih, Tokaido, Fekuro-Kudu, Sanfj;edo, and Saikaido. An American house, es tablished at Simoda, has offered to furnish the requisite materials. The most important act of the reigning emperor is the revocation of the edict against the Christians, issued by the emperor Daia Fusatn in 1(314. In future, foreign agents ac credited at Japanese ports will be privileged to bring with them one or more Christian preachers, for their own and theii countrymen's benefit. Chinese Wahfare. Lieut. Habersham, in one of his letters from China, says : These people, however, are perfect children in the art of warfare; were they not so contemptuous and insulting in their intercourse with foreigners, it would be cowardly to attack them. Only think of the guns in their forts at the mouth of the river having been stationary. They aivtnl thevi, be fore the buttle of the 2?th, to shoot probtibftj in the right th'reetions, and then foatteti ' and jirril airoy us fast as the) eon til, without attempt my to change their range. Of course the allies were only struck while passing said ranges. The same thin"- has been observed in other battles. Chicago. "What sometimes takes place in Chi cago may be imagined by an anecdote by a west ern paper, which is in substance that a produce operator from, the State of New York bought a lot of ''stub-tail" corn on speculation, put it in a store house, then amused himself at billiards, horse riding, carriage promenading, and an exceedingly severe spree, the latter occupying alone a period of some four or five days. When he recovered, the first thing he called for was a cocktail; the second, a newspaper. He found from the market reports that corn had so risen in price that he could sell at a profit of eleven thousand eight humred dol lars ! Of course he improved his chance, pocket ed his money, and went home to his wife and children a wiser and better man. Tuansfekknck of Vitality. The transfer ence of vitality, which seems to occur when young persons are habitually placed in contact with the aged, is well attested by very competent authori ties. A distinguished author, I)r. James Cope land, says : " A not uncommon cause of depressed vital pow er is the young sleeping with the aged. This, however explained, has been long remarked. I have occasionally met with the counterpart of the followintr case : I was. a few vears ar, consulted n ' ing his lieaa nine times upon ine jfruunu ueiore him. The Ambassador replied that such saluta tions were not customary in hU country, but that he would do it provided the Chinese plenipoten tiary would knock his head nine times against the ground before a picture of the King of England. This proposition knocked the negotiations all on the head, as, no doubt, was intended. Some pro gress has been made, then, within the last fifty years, and the English government seems to have discovered, about fifteen years ago, that the most effectual way to negotiate with the Chinese was bv knocking a few of their officials on the head with cannon balls. There is no doubt that it is this different method of proceeding which has produced all the difference iu the recent results. Yet Lord Macartney actually penetrated to Pekin, and only failed where indeed the modern negotiators have been equally unsuccessful, in establishing the right of having a permanent minister residing at the Capital. Fifty years ago it would have been impossible for the whole outer world to have produced the impression upon China which this last expedition has done. Steamships and l'aixan guns were not then in fashion, and the power of modern civilized nations is nowhere exhibited in so progressive and striking a light as when brought into contact with a nation so stationary as the Chinese. The opening of China by these treaties is proba bly the most inqiortant political event of the cen tury. Not the opeuing of India by Lord ('live; not the rebellion nor subjugation of that mighty empire, will probably effect commerce and the civ ilization of the world to the degree that the open ing up of amicable relations with China will do in the next hundred years. There is every reason to expect that our own country will long before then have the most im portant commercial relations with that Empire of any nation, and it should be the study and the care of our government to secure every possible facility and advantage in this direction. By avoiding all entangling alliances with the English and French in the war now concluded, we have gained all the advantages they have secured and an amount of the good will of the Chinese which may be turned to the greatest advantage. Pefcin lies precisely on the same degree of latitude as niiladelphia, and only about two degrees north of San Francisco, on the opposite side of the Pacific. China is im mensely wealthy, and although it may not desire our manufactured goods, yet our arts and sciences, and all their application to civilized life, must iu stantly come into demand in some form. Our ships and steamers have been bought and will be for naval defense. Pirates will buy them to attack the government, if the government is too self satis fied to purchase them to exterminate the pirates. Our railroads, and our anns of war, and our mech anical contrivances for superceding human labor come more and more " . - til i ailment, but there Mas a slow and reinarKabl Ue- cline of flesh and strength, and of the energy of j the functions. Alter inquiring into the history ot the case, it came out that he was very robust and plethoric up to his third year, when his grand mother, a very old person, took him to sleep with her; that he soon afterward lost his good looks; and that he continued to decline progressively, notwithstanding the medical treatment to which he was subjected."

Our maps and charts will be needed, our medical books must be translated, for they have no medical science in China. They have, however, valuable results of ages of experience in the use of certain herbs. In the course of a very little while it is cletir that a demand must spring up for a thousand articles out of the way of, above and beyond, ordi nary commerce, but which will go far to pay for our tea, and procure us, at a much cheaper rate than we could manufacture them, thousands of valutible productions, requiring immense labor and ingenuity. So far, the Jesuits have done more to introduce valuable knowledge into China than any other class of foreigners. They have taught them as tronomy, surveyed the empire, and collected a thousand facts and scientific observations, useful not only to Europeans, but to the Chinese them selves. Our missionaries, of all classes, will do much more in the same way ; but our medical men lni'dit eo there instead of starvintr at home; our r- c j ' SWAPPING Wives. The Danville Transcript says: A friend informs us that an occurrence in Patrick county came to his knowledge a few days since, which we consider decidedly rich. Two of the citizens of that go-ahead State, having each about a half dozen children, concluded to make a swap of an unheard of character. One proposed to exchange wives, but the other thinking his wile the most likely woman, said he must have some boot. It was "finally agreed that the one should -ive the other two bushels of potatoes, aud the made. swap was . i ... nr. ,.f,,. ! commercial agents, our seientinc men, engineers X OU I-Cv , I il 1 1 U-II I a III II I - nC PllluIUH.li" ui,v.,uiv. - JJL 11 ! e in the apex" and corresponding aperture in the and patent office men as well as manufacturers of base; and by applying the eg to tbe lips, nd P" 4 wywtke ?.. .S.....su fi?. ..U..U il.l,. ; tables upon China, and cause her to send silver II IITCI 0 1 V IllliailUX me uie:ni, use ouv,u ic nmrai - , , ., , , . n i d f L pontoon " "Hloss ,nv soul." back, or rather silver s worth, not only u. the form l 1 .

La Roche, than whom there is no higher au thority on the subject of yellow fever, has the fol lowing in regard to the up-turning of earth us a cause of that disease : lr. Merrill, in an essay on the yellow fever of Natchez, has taken great pains to show, and with every appearance of success, that the epidemic of 1828 arose from tlie leveling of the streets, aud the consequent exposure of fresh soil to the actio; of the hot sun. On the general subject of disturbing the earth as a cause of epidemic disease, La Roche continues as follows : Every physician knows that the digging of ca nals, the opening of ditches, the cutting down of bluffs, the leveling of lots, the filling up or cutting down of streets, the opening of roads, &o., have proved highly injurious, not only in this eountry, but in parallel or hotter latitudes. The results of operations of this kind in the East and West In dies are on record; and, like those in Algeria, arc of a nature not easily to be forgotten. Many an epidemic of billious intermittent and remittent fever, may be traced to occurrences of this kind, (quoting a dozen or more English, French and American authorities). To the same cause, under peculiar conditions of soil, and during the preval ence of certain thcrmoiuetrical and hygrometrical states of atmosphere, the outbreak of yellow fever at various periods lias been, with apparent justice ascribed. Dr. Levert, of Mobile, on the epidemic of 185o there, in relation to this subject, says : One point, I think, is satisfactorily established in connection with the appearance of yellow fever in Mobile upon almost every occasion, vht: that it has invariably occurred in those seasons when large excavations have been made, or extensive surfaces of fresh earth exposed to the action of the sun and air during the heat of summer; while, on the con trary, our city has been almost invariably exempt from this scourge in those seasons in which uo such causes' existed. We might continue quotations from the same respectable authorities who advance the same gene ral opinions, but have not room to do so. The books are full of them. Physicians in cities that are entirely healthy are urging this subject upon the consideration of their authorities, with a view of preventing any digging of ditches, canals, etc., in warm weather. The Philadelphia Bulletin calls attention to the matter as follows : Few persona arc aware of the deleterious proper ties of freshly dug earth, cspccielly in weather when heat and moisture alternate to fully develop the noxious miasma which it exhales; no proverb is so utterly devoid of truth as that which attri butes healthy qualities to the smell of fresh earth. As well say that decaying leaves or any vegetable matter arc healthy, when the fact is that a more active stimulant to disease of every kind does not exist. The dreadful Jlong Kong fever, which burst out at the place in China of that name, some twenty years ago, was caused entirely by dig ging up the soil for the foundation of factories. Accurate observation established this. fnp Or leans Bulletin.

A corres pondent of the Concord (N. II.; Democrat says: In New Jersey an active work is silently going on to shape the next Legislature so as to defeat Senator Wright. As a mechanic and manufacturer he has amassed a fortune and made himself. One of the thousand incidents was related to me of Senator Wright, by a political opponent of his to exemplify his character. A poor shoe-maker died in Newark, leaving a lap-stone and a wife and children. The day after the funeral the landlord gave the widow notice to quit the premises. A neighbor was relating the circumstance to several friends whom he met in the street, among whom was 3Ir Wright. Mr Wright immediately went to the landlord and inquired the price for the house and lot occupied by the widow of the shoemaker. The answer was 83,500. Mr Wright ordered the deed to be made out and inclosed it next day to the widow, with a check for $500; and Mr Wright had never seen the widow. Cvre for Baldness. A medical journal says that the decoction of boxwood has been successful in cases of baldness. Four large handfuls of the stem and leaves of the garden box are boiled in three pints of water in a closely covered vessel for fifteen minutes, and allowed to stand in an open jar ten hours or more; the liquid is then strained, and one ounce and a half of cologne added, and with this solution the head is well washed every morning. NIGHT-AIR. Hall's Journal of Health says : During the month of September and October, throughout the United States, wherever there are chills, and fever and ague, intermittent, or the more deadly forms of fever, it is a prcnicious, and even dangerous practice, to sleep with the outer doors or windows open; because miasma, marsh em anations, the product of decaying vegetation all of which are different terms, expressing the same thing is made so light by heat, that it ascends at once towards the upper portion of atmospheric space, and is not breathed during the heat of the day, but the cool nights of the Fall of the year con dense it, make it heavy, and it settles on the ground, is breathed into the lungs, incorporated into the blood; and if in its concentrated torm, as in certain localities near Home, it causes sickness and death within a few hours. The plagues which devastated Eastern countries iu earlier ages, were caused by the concentrated emanations from marshy localities, or districts of decaying vegetation; and the common observation of the higher class of people was, that those who occupied the upper stories, not even coming down stairs for market supplies, but drew them up by ropes attached to baskets; had entire immunity from disease, for two reasons, the higher the abode, the less compact is the deadly atmos phere, besides, the higher rooms in a house, In Summer, are the warmer onos, and the miasma less concentrated The lower rooms arc colder, making the air more dense. Ho, by keeping all outer doors and windows closed, especially the lower ones, the building is less cool and comf-u table, but it excludes the infectious air, while its warmth sends what en ters through the crevices immediately to the ceil ings of the rooms, where it congregates, and is not breathed; hence is it that men who entered the bar room and dining-saloons of the National Hotel, remaining but a few brief hours, were attacked with the National Hotel Disease, while ladies who occupied upper rooms, where constant tires were burning, escaped attack, although remaining in the house for weeks at a time. It was for lite 8anie reason that Dr. Rush was accustomed to advise families in Summer time, not being able to leave the city, to cause their younger children especial ly, to spend their time above stairs. We have spent a lifetime ourselres in the West and extreme South, and know in our own person, and as to those who had firmness to follow our recommenda tion, that whole families will escape all forma of Fall fevers who will haTe bright fires kindled at sunrise and sunset in the family room. But it is too plain a prescription to secure observance in more than one family in ten thousand. After the third frost, and until the Fall of the next year, it is an important means of health for persons to sleep with an outer door or window partly open, having the bed in such a position, as to be protected from a draught of air. We advise that no person should go to work or take exercise in the morning on an empty stomach; but if it is stimulated to action by a cop of coffee, or a crust of bread, or apple, or orange, exercise can be taken, not only with ini- E unity, but to high advantage in all chill and fever teal i ties. nu Ameraan itiiii.
