Tientsin.
"Tientsin, from being one of the pureslittle settlements in the world, without either a disorderly house or grog shop, is becoming a perfect sink of iniquity." Such, according to the Tientsin correspondent of the "Standard," is one of the indirect effect* of which the occupation of the town by the Allied troops is the cause. When the Kaiser reviewed his soldiers before they started for the Far East less than a year ago, lie told them tbey were going to teach the heathen Chinee, by means of the mailed fist, the unspeakable benefits of Christian civilisation. How the interests of either the Chtistian fai b. or civilisation are advanced by converting pagan places, hitherto noted for "their purity, into perfect sinks of iniquity," is a question which the German Emperor might with advantage put to himself in one of his moments of reverie.
