JEWS IN NEWPORT.


Sometime about the year 1890, number OF Jews
established themselves at Newport. (R. ~ By in.
Gustry and commercial enterprise they became
wealthy, and their numbers increasing, they built
themselves Synagogue. When The late Rev. DR..
Stiles was Minister at Newport, he maintained a
pleasant and friendly intercourse with the leading
members OF the Society, and spoke favouraby OF
their character and religious temper. This Society,
by removals and deaths, has, Of late years, been fast
dwindng away, and the last OF the nation has at
length taken his departure. Mr.. Moses Lopez the
death of whose brother we lately noticed was the
only surviving Jew on the Island. We understand
that he has lately removed to New. York, TO enoy
the society OF those of his nation who reside there

be long preserved, as i" handsome specimen cf an

of the Jewish Society will assemble at Newport.

summer, Tor the purpose Of holding possession of
the building.lt is also expected that NJ. M. Noah,

analysis Of 7ta.--An opinion has long prevailed.
that green tea is impregnated with poisonous sub.
stances, In consequence of its being dried by the
Chinese on copper plates. Although it was easy to
have ascertaned this fact on the spot no one seems
to have regarded it as of any consequence, and we
have been going on drinking what has been almost
universally considered deleterious effusion, with
out appearing in the least appYehensive of its conse
Iquences.
The fact is, green tea is as free Of pernicious
qualities black tea; which has been recently as
Icertained in London by variety of experiments.
A member OF the Royal Institution has published
the result ofthese in which he says, that ammonia
was never indicative ct the least particle of copper
in samples of green tea which were perfectly penu4
ine." He also states that the tea is dried in China
ION Porcelain slabs, and not on copper plates as
generally supposed, and that the Northern Tartars
are entire strangers to black ted the green only
being familiar TO them. It should seem that there
are two distinct species of genus Thea the 7Hea
bohea and Thea viydis and that hot alcohol poured
on green tea, does not the evolution of the
leaves but that they may become black, and thus
resemble black tea not infused.
From this statement IL appears, that the prevail.
ing idea as to green tea, is of those "vuIoar
errors" which the progress of science alone has
dissipated, and that instead OF swallowing poison
Gus substance when We use it we are drinking
wholesome beverage.
