GERMANY IN THE EAST. , A Project to Eitabllah Mainple ROOllll In Oriental Cltlen. Consul Monaghan writes that Ger man newspapers are agitating the es tablishment of sample warerooms in the cities of the Far East, as a method most likely to yield the largest, return* at the smallest outlay. To exhibit goods, they say, in Bombay and Calcut ta, Peking, Shanghai and Hongkong, in Yokohama and Tokyo, in Valparaiso and Santiago, in Buenos Ayres and Rio de Janeiro, for one year, is worth a century of circulars by mail. Nothing is so eloquent and instructive as direct contact with the objects offered for sale, nor Is any nation above this need. The Japanese Consul in Bombay is urging his people to put forth every effort along these lines. Since the re turn of the Lyons commission France is organizing syndicates to extend trade, which send out and maintain one or more agents to show samples, obtain orders and keep in touch with the trade. Consul Monaghan further says: "The East has more than half the hu man race to clothe and feed, and no nation has opportunities like our own. With lines of steamers from San Fran cisco, Seattle and Portland; with a canal via Nicaragua or Panama, and communication with the Gulf and At lantic cities, we must participate as no other power can in the commercial splendor promised for the coming cen tury. If coarse cottons can be spun and woven in the South; if Alabama can make iron rails as cheap or cheaper than England; if Europe buys our ma chines, locomotives, tools, agricultural Implements, etc., we must carry these products to the East." The Children'* Crunailr. Although the children's crusade came In 1212 A. D., between the third and fourth crusades, it will be considered here because the mere fact that there was a children's crusade shows how great was the excitement, the fanatic ism, and the craze of the entire move ment. Stephen, a twelve-year- old boy from among the French peasantry, preached the crusade; he declared that Christ had commanded him to lead the children of Jerusalem and so eloquent were the words of this lad, so impreg nated with the idea was the very air, that children gathered at his call by the thousands. Even bolts and bars, we are told, could not hold them. Pitiable beyond realization must have been the scenes presented by this mimic crusade, which saw 50,000 Ger man boys and girls, under twelve years of age, cross the Alps—a feat, which when performed by Napoleon was deemed wonderful —march down the Italian coast looking for a miraculous pathway through the Mediterranean; pitiable their disappointment when no pathway appeared; pitiable the disap pointment of the 47,000 who were un able to obtain passage on the ships; more pitiable the sailing away into oblivion of the 3,000 little crusaders, for they were never heard of more. Of the expedition, 30,000 French children had gathered at Marseilles. Of these many sailed away, only to become vic tims to the human depravity of the men who guided those ships to Alex andrian and other Mohammedan slave markets, and there sold the children as slaveß. Dill of LadUf for Slaves. A bill of lading for slaves is a curiosity in its way. The following w tract is Irom one dated Keb. 1, 17B6: j Shipped, by the Orace of God, in good order and well conditioned, by James the Mary Borough, whereof its master, under God, for this present voyage, Captain David Morton, and now riding at anchor at the Barr of Senegal, and by God's grace bound for Oeorgey, in South Carolina, to say, twenty-tour prime slaves, six prime women slaves," &c. It ends with the pious wish that "God send the good ship to her desire'd port in safety. Amen." However impious it may appear to us to associate the name of God with the iniquitous traffic, still it was looked Upon by many as a divine institution, directly sanctioned by' the Bible. The famous slave-trading Captain, John Newton, afterward to be the Rev. John Newton of Olney, hymn writer and friend of Cowper, did by no means see it to be his duty to change his profes sion immediately after his conversion, though he ultimately became an abo litionist; he carried on slavetrading for years after he was a devout Christian, giving thanks in the Liverpool church es for the success of his last venture, and imploring God's blessing on his next.
