TEA.-Some writers have asserted that
the tea is roasted upon plates of copper,
and that its color is owing to verdigris,
with which it thus becomes impregnated.
But those travellers who are most entitled
to credit, affirm that the plates are, with
out exception, of iron; and DR.. Lettson,
after great number of experiments made
with chemical tests, never detected any
trace of copper; SO that the suspicion APP
pears to be void of foundation. Such is
the diversity Of tcmperaments aud consti-
tutions, that il cannot otherwise happen
that an article Of diet which is taken by
one person, aud even with benefit, shall
in another, occasion disagrecabe and even
serious consequences. DIR. Cullen consid-
cred tea as decidedly narcotic and soda
tive in its effects; but the most superb
oial observer must see that tea has very
little in common with other narcotics
The excitement which it produces upon
the mind and upon the organs of diges-
ton is Of a durable and permanent kind
and it never, like other narcotics, leaves
the system in a state of somnolency and
understood Of tea in the state in which
we consume it, that is the state Of perfect
dryness In its green or recent state, it
Is said to possess a decided narcotic quail
ity, capable of producing intoxication
and other deleterous consequences. This
property, however, is of a volatile nature,
and is lost in process of drying, and by a
few months age Tea, as it is brought
to us in its dry state, has the effect OF
creating q lghtness and exhileration of
mind an increased action Of the stomach
in the process of digestion, and, above all,
q vigilance and increased power of men
tai exertion. DIR. johnson is recorded to
have made the teapot the companion OF
his lucubrations, and to have taken inn
mense quantities of its contents, to sus-
tain the energies of his powerful mind
during the prodigious labors which he
accomplished. In its other properties
tea is astringent and antiseptic. 1t Wis
IDLY produces no injurious effects upon
the generality OF persons who toke II
from infancy to old age. 1t is remarked
by Desfontaines, that no vegetable is
known, the infusion of which can be
drank so often, and in such large quanti-
ties without disgust. The Chinese re-
gard it as highly salubrious. They mix
with it neither milk nor sugar, but drink
it pure, sometimes holding a piece of SUI
gar in the mouth. The constant use
which this people have made Of it for so
many ages seems to prove that, when
rightly prepared, it is destitute at least
of injurious properties.

EH- At Kcsota, Minnesota, Rev.
Mr.. Hill, pastor Of the United Brethren,
was accused of certain scandalous prac-
tees, and called together his church and
society to listen to his public confession.
He told them that three years ago he
seduced girl aged sixteen from her
home in Maine and took her to Boston,
and after short residence there, to
Minnesota, where he had resided with her
rs his wife for thirteen months, having
one child by her. lie said he had left a
wife and three children in Maine. AZ
ter this full confession he asked all who
were in favor Of his remaining as their
Christian pastor to stand up, and a ma
iority rose to their feet, while the rest re-
fused to vote either way. Evidently tho
United Brethren in Minnesota are libc-
raj. The Springfield Republican says
this suggests the story Of the church in
Oakham. where IL was found embarrassing

THE CAPITAL OF JAPAN,

What shall l say OF this greatest and
most singular Of ali cities? a volume is
needed to describe it, without attempting
10 give its history. | have read of old
Nineveh and Babylon below the ground,
and seen and handled the works of art
which have been disinterred and created
so much admiration on both sides of the
Atlantic; but one lividg Jeddo, above the
ground, is worth a hundred old fogv cit
les below it. / cannot give you an idea
oft, it is so unique, so unlike everything
except itself, and so impossible, as you
will think have seen several places of
interest and maintained cool head, but
| was bcwildered and COMPOUNDED when |
saw this. 1t is situated on the western
shore of this charming guilt, twenty miles
wide by four long. 1t stretches for
twenty miles and more along n beach of
semi-circular FORM with its horns turn
ed outwards, and along when street ex-
tends, crowded with blocks of stores and
houses, and teeming with moving crowds,
while shopkeepers, artizans, women and
children, seem equally numerous within
doors and at the doors. Indeed, dozen
or fifteen miles might be added to the
length of the city i'll this direction, since
there is nothing but an unbrokcn sue.
ccssion of towns and villages for this
distance, which are as populous and well
built as the city itself In crossing the
city from the shore to the western out
skirts | have walked two miles and a.
half, and then proceeded on horseback
for ten miles more, making twelve and
a-half in the whole, while in other places
1T may be wider STILL According to the
lowest estimate, the city covers an area
equal to seven of the New England
towns, which are usually six miles square.
And all is traversed by streets, equally
wide, well-constructed, perfectly neat, and
crossing each other at right angles
streets lined with houses and stores as
compactly as they can be built, and
crowded with moving or stationery mas
SEES as thick as in our Washington street,
or New York Broadway, at least for con-
siderable distances. The population is
estimatsd generally at three millions
which Mr.. Harris, our Minister, thinks
is no exaggeration. For my part, iudg-
ing from what have seen when have
gone into the heart of the city, and cross
ed the city from side to side, should
be willing to add as many million more /;
for the living, moving masses, seen from
sunrise TO sunset, and everywhere the
same, fairly seemed beyond computation.
One city as large as seven fine towns in
Berkshire county, and containing a pop
ulation three times as large as that of the
whole State Of Massachusetts That is
enough to think Of for moment.-Japan

TELEGRAMATIc.-The intrinsic value of vast pro
portion of the sensation items sent over the wires
to the fast New York journals, may be in some
measure estimated from the following despatch in
yesterdays Tribune:
CHARLEsToN, December 2.-Governor Gist has
received letter from Maj. Lees, commanding the
Baltimore National Volunteers, a light horse regi-
ment, thirteen hundred strong, saving that the
regiment has unanimously resolved to support with
their lives any State States in secession from
TINS accursed league and rendering their services
in the event of coercion.
The "Nationa Volunteers" got off very gallant
procession here few nights before the election,
one feature of which was about seven hundred men
mounted on horse, which looked very well by
torchlight. We doubt, however, whether any
yarlike purpose was ever entertained by three
dozen individuals of the whole body, which looked
about as much like "light horse regiment as it
did like polk of Cossacks.
