THE GREEN* FUG OF THE PROPHET.
???
A Cnlreraal $nniuiuiis~lt* Origin.-An Emblem
of Extermination.
Since the commencement of the war
, between .Russia and Turkey, the world
has several times been startled by the
announcement that the " Flag of the
Prophet" was about to be unftiried in
the streets of Stamboul. Such an event,
if it should happen (which may heaven
avert), would proclaim n crusade in
which all true Mussulmans would be
bound to take an active part, and to
tight*against Christianity in every part
of the world. They may be in India,
Arabia, Egypt, or wherever else their
scattered race has found a home; the
raising of the green standard is a call
which none may disobey without, as the
Koran lays it down, sacrificing all his
hopes of paradise.
This fearful appeal to all the worst
nassionsnf tho "F.fljat #>rn linn era lib a n
menace over the Mohammedan world; and
if the word was once uttered and the dreaded
flag unfurled, there is no telling to what
sanguinary excesses it might lead an enthusiastic
and half-savage people. It
may be of interest to our readers if,
under these circumstances, we endeavor
to make them acquainted with the origin
and history of a banner which has not
seen the light of day since the Empress
Catharine of Bussia attempted to reinstate
Chistianity in the City of the Sultans,
and which once unfurled would set
a whole world itblaze.
There have been many flags or signals
nsed by various nations at different
crises in their history to incite the people
to battle on behalf of religions, dynasties
and ideas ; but none ha3 attained
to the fearful notoriety which appertains
to the terrible Flag of the Prophet;
which is really a banner of blood, for it
dispels the idea of mercy from the minds
and hearts of its followers, and gives no
quarter to man, woman or child.
In Frauce the "oriflamme" or golden
sun upon a field of crimson signified
41 no quarter V* but this celebrated Flag
of the Prophet means infinitely more
than this. It is a summons to an antiChristian
crusade, a challenge of every
believer in the Prophet to arms ; a warsignal,
in fact, which, like the Fiery
Cross of Scotland, would flash its dread
command through the domain of Islam.
The prophet himself predicted that
one day, when his followers should number
100,000,000?which thev do now,
with 20,000,000 more added to it?his
nag snould fly against the advancing
power of the northern races ; and the
Koran or Mohammedan Bible says that
when its silken folds are flung forth
"the earth will shake, the mountains
melt into dust, the seas blaze up in fire,
and the children's hair grow white with
anguish." This language is of course
metaphorical; but it is easy to conoeive,
by the light of very recent history, that
some such catastrophe might take place,
as the displaying of this terrible symbol
# would raise a frenzy of fanaticism in the
* breasts of the Mohammedan race all over
the globe.
The origin of the insignia is a curious
one. Mohammed gazing out upon a
vast prospect of field, said : " Nature is
green, and green shall be my emblem,
for it is everlasting and universal."
In course of time, however, it lost that
innrw*nf. on/1 omM V.1o
- - - ^ - - - - - ~ y (ui\i aiiiiu n?q<
visions the great dreamer saw the Green
Flag floating as a sign that all true believers
should take up their arms and
march against the infidel; in fact, the
green turban was the eacred head-dress
of the pilgrim or perfected Islamite who
had gone to Mecca ; and hence the sanctity
of this formidable standard. % I
When once unfurled, it summons all
Islam by an adjuration from the Koran
that the sword is the solitary emblem
and instrument of faith, independence
and patriotism ; that armies, not priests,
make oonverts; and that sharpened steel
is the " true key to heaven." Upon that
fearful ensign are inserted the words
yehich are supposed to have been written
at Mecca itself?namely: "All who
draw it (the sword) will he rewarded
with temporal advantages ; every drop
shed of their blood, every peril and hardship
endured by them, will be registered
on high as jnore meritorious than either
fasting or praying. If they fall in battle,
their sins will be at once blotted out,
and they will be transported to paradise.
But for the first heaven are reserved
those of the faithful who die within
sight of the Green Flag of the Prophet"
Then follow the terrible and all-significant
words, the fearful war-cry against
God and man : " Then may no man give
or expec? mercy I"
This is the outburst of barbarism with
which the world is threatened in this
year of grace 1877; and the reader cannot
do otherwise than mark the cunning
nature of the portentous words inscribed
on the prophet's banner. What would
not most men do, civil ized or savage,
for 44 temporal advantages ?" While to
the Eastern people fasting and praying
are looked upon as of so meritorious a
nature, that to find something elso
which, in the eyes of Allah, would be
deemed of greater value still, would be
a desideratum which none would fail to
grasp, by any means whatever, if it
came within their reach. But Mohammed's
wonderful knowledge of human
nature, and more especially of Eastern
human nature, is shown in his picture
of paradise as prepared for the faithful
who fall in battle ; while his declaration
that the highest heaven in this so-called
paradise will be reserved for those who
die within sight of the Green Flag, is a
masterpiece of policy un equaled in the
annals of mankind.
The standard itself is not a very handsome
one, and is surpassed both in value
and appearance by many of the banners
which belong to the various benefit so
cieties and other mntnal associations of
men in this country. It is of green silk,
with a large cresoent on the top of the
staff, from which is suspended a long
plume of horse-hair (said to have been
the tail of the Prophet's favorite Arab
steed), while the broad folds of the flag
exhibit the crescent and the quotations
from the Koran already mentioned.
The Flag of the Prophet is kept in the
mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople,
and is in the custody of the Shik-ulIslam,
or Mahommedan chief-eseript
where all wnll- wishers of humanity may
sincerely trust it will ever remain.?

^ A. Pedestrian's Great Walk.
The extraordinary feat completed recently
by Gale, the Cardiff pedestrian?
walking 4,000 quarter miles in 4,000
consecutive periods of ten minutes?is
without parallel in athletic annuls.
Compared with it, Capt. Barclay's historic
1,000 miles in 1,000 hours a feat
frequently duplicated since, and lately,
we believe, even by an English woman
?sinks into the grade of minor performances.
Robert Skipper's 1,000 half
miles in 1,000 half hours was not nearly
as remarkable a performance as this of
Gale's, because the length of continuous
sleep possible at each resting interval
was much greater. Gate's previous feat
of 1,500 miles in 1,000 consecutive hours
was also unprecedented. In fact, Gale

quake. 0
An imasually mild aritumn was Big- j f
nalized at its' close by three severe 1!
earthquake shocks. These shocks were j d
felt in the East, in the West, and in the ^
South. Commenting upon them the a
Chicago Evening Journal makes- the r'
folloVing interesting statement about ?
the recent active condition of a little- i "
known volcano in Nebraska : I tl
The latest earthquake shocks, which a
especially affected western Iowa, and -j
were still sharper in northeastern Ne- . J
braska and southwestern Dakota, bring
to mind the fact that the " Ionia Vol-; w
cano," known to a few scientific investi- ' e
gators of the west as existing in the ?
high bluffs near the little village of P
Ionia, in northeastern Nebraska, is di- ^
rectly in the centre of the area traversed a
by the earthquake vibrations of Thurs- *
day noon. The little dire-mount has at b
times, in the memory of Indian and
white settlers, put on all the airs of an C
embryonic but ambitious volcano.
From out the seams or fisaures in the p
bluffs in that locality have come vapors, 0
heat and rumbliner sounds. No snow a.
could long accumulate in winter in close ^
proximity to this place, since the heat
of the ground would melt it, and springs ?
of water running from the side of the j
bluff have been made too warm for drink- c
ing uses. Being in a retired spot, miles 3
away from any line of travel, on the west j,
bank of the 'Missouri river, in a bluffy ^
region, the little volcano has attracted ^
the attention of only a few of those who j c
' make such subjects a study, and hence ^
is not mentioned, ;is we believe, in any j c
of the works ou geography or geology.
The occurrence of the earthquake, with
its key or centre at the Ionia volcano, c
1 makes worthy of remark the fact that g
for a few months past this little American
Vesuvius has been unusually active. s
Its vapors have arisen almost constantly,
and, for the first time since white men L
have viewed its action, these vapors
have been easily distinguishable for a
dozen or more miles away.
first nf these disturbances of the
earth's surface was perceived on November
4, by the inhabitants of northern A
New Hampshire, Vermont, western
Massachusetts, northern and central J
| New York and Canada. The course of
the shocks was from west to east. They A
were especially violent in the Adirondack
mountains region. On November t
15, an earthquake shock was felt in the ;
i States of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, i t
i and in Dakota Territory. The shock i
was a very severe one^ and its effects j o
were perceptible in most of the cities t
, of the States mentioned. In Omaha, b
j Neb., there was a panic. All persons in t
i the upper floors of the lofty buildings t
! fled to the street. The post-office, a e
| four-story building, was almost deserted, t:
The clerks at work in the Union Pacific a
j railroad company's offices ran from the n
I building, under the belief that a large f:
j safe, which was being placed in one of a
i the upper stories, had crushed in the g
| flooring. Others were of the opinion h
that some part of the building had fallen, li

i State. The court-house at North Platte v
was injured, and the walls of the school- 1
house of the place so shaken that the b
frightened children left the building, p
The walls of a court-house in Columbus 0
were cracked in nine places. The court- 1
house at Plattsmouth was also slightly 1
! damaged ; the two upper stories of the v
j high school, a four-story brick, were lj
; cracked, and some children were injured
while fleeing from the building. The a
children of a school in Peru ran out of a
! the building in great alarm. Two dis- <3
; tinct shocks of earthquake were felt at v
j Blair; goods carelessly placed on store f
! shelves were tumbled upon the floor, $
[ but no buildings were damaged. At t
i Fort Randall, the earthquake lasted c
J nearly a minute; buildings were violent- 1
I ly shaken, and several Indian tepees t
: were knocked down. The Indians- at r
; Yankton agency were greatly excited, t
and goods fell oil the shelves in the 5
j trader's store. In Lincoln, at the Globe y
, ofhco, the racks were swayed to and fro
j in the third story, the type rattiea in tne t
l cases, and, although there was not a t
| breath of air stirring, the windows i
; shook and rattled as if a gale of wind \
i was blowing outside. The county offi- a
I cers at work in the second story of the j.
, State block, a large building of brick and
stone, became alarmed and ran frantic*
! ally down stairs into the streets. Most
merchants left their stores. .
In Sioux City, Iowa, there were two ;
earthquake waves, the second being the
, most powerful and immediately follow- *
; ing the first. There was a continuous ?
I vibration lasting forty-five seconds. In the *
| court house the district court was in
? . mi t ?u I
session m tne upper sxory. xue uuuuing
began rocking, the chandeliers
clanged, and apparently everything was
about to tumble into ruin when the
court, jury, and spectators rushed to the
street bareheaded and greatly excited,
j A large congregation in St. Mary's
I Catholic Church, present to witness con|
lirraation ceremonies, sprang to their
! feet in alarm, and would have rushed
i madly from the building but for the rei
assuring words of the priest. Several
women fainted, and two were injured by
jumping from their seats in the choir, to
| the floor, a distance of twelve feet. The
j scholars and teachers in the High School
' building were also greatly alarmed and
i fled into the street. Fortunately no one
j was injured, although several of the
scholars leaped into the street from the
first story windows. One of the walls
of the building was badly cracked. The
clocks in many houses were stopped,
crockery was broken, and in one house
: all the panes in a window were broken.
The town must have presented the ap;
pearance of a Peruvian village at the
moment of an earthquake, for every one
! within a building fled from it and into
the streets for safety's sake. A rumbli g 1
! noise was heard before the earthquake ?
was felt. The direction of the wave was 1
! from northwest to southwest. Slight >
shocks of earthquake were felt in Iowa i
City. The first shock was scarcely no- ?
ticeable, but the second and third were *
very perceptible. 14 On the ground 1

ceptible tremor, in the second stories it *
was more distinct, while on third floors '
and fourth floors, gas fixtures and glass <
rattled, and there was a plainly percepti- I
ble motion as of the floor slipping 1
with jerks. Persons who were on the 1
upper floors at the time were greatly >
alarmed, and spoke of the tremulous <
; motion as very plain." At Dubuque, 1
the shock was slight, but the scholars in i
| one of the public schools were so <
badly frightened by the thought that the '
building was about to tumble in, that
they were dismissed. In Des Moines, ;
there was a slight panic among the
scholars at the high school, in conse|
quenoe of the shock. In Council Bluffs,
it was feared that several high buildings '
1 would fall, but none were damaged. At
! the high school there was n slight
, panic.
In Kansas the shock was noticed at
'opeka and Atchison. At Topeka, in '
he Santa Fe depot, the employees felt
be building rocking gently from north
d south. Throe gentlemen seated in ;
no of the rooms suddenly looked at
ach other, nud all exclaimed : "What
i that ?" Several men felt seasick and
izzy, and ran to the windows to see if
here was a train passing. Iu one room |
door was shut and the rocking-chairs
ocked. At Atchison there was a severe
hock, and hundreds of people rushed
lto the streets. In the city clerk's oflSce j
he chandeliers trembled for ten minutes
fter the shock. No damage was done. ;
.'he earthquake was also felt in St. ]
oseph, Mo., and in St. Paul, Minn.
On November 16, the day following

arth quake shock was felt at Knoxville, |

In cotton the diminished value was
nly due in part to a smaller quantity,

here was some decline, but the reduciou
is mainly in quantity. The wheat

How Long will the Forests Last,
Under such a tremendous yearly drain,
he question naturally comes up, how
ong will our forests hold out at the
>resent rate of manufacture ? It is really
tn important question, upon which folows
the inquiry as to what we are to do
or building material when this maglificent
wood?pine?is exhausted. One
mthority after another has entered
ormally upon its solution, with satisactory
results in local instances, but
rery vague ones as to the field at large,
lit the rate we are cutting it to-day, from
liirty to fifty years seem to be agreed
ipon as about the limit. Twenty years
igo there was apparently no limit, for
he consumption was not only less, but
he means for its manufacture were
>rimitive, and accomplished much
imaller results than now. It seems as

lear future may, for all that, see sawing
nachinery in comparison to which that
>f the present will be contemptible. So,
ilthough twenty years ago there was no
oreseeing the end of the timber, now,
with the modern mills and myriads of
hem, we are beginning to calculate with
lire certainty, as to the time when the
'Wooden Age" will be a thing of the

Productions of States.
Iowa now takes rank as the greatest
^heat-producing State, Minnesota comes
lext in order, then Illinois, Wisconsin
:aking the fourth place. Uiiio raises tue
nost winter wheat and wool. Illinois
arrows the most corn and oats and proluces
the largest number of fat cattle
ind hogs. Pennsylvania grows the most
rye, amounting to nearly one-fifth the
total production of that cereal in the
States. California produces the greatest
barley crop, and also the most silk oo300ns
and wine. New York gives us the
greatest amount of hay, hops, potatoes,
peas and beans. Sweet potatoes are
most largely produced in North Carolina.
South Carolina is the great rioe-proiucing
State ; Georgia comes next, and
then Louisiana; these three States yielding
nearly the whole rice crop of the
country. Louisiana also produces nearly
all the cane sugar and molasses. ' Vermont,
the most of the maple sugar, or
one-third of th9 whole product, New
York ooming next. Indiana giyes the
most soighum, one-eighth, and Ohio
nearly as nnch. Kentucky produces
over 100,000,000 pounds of tobacco, or
considerably over one-third of the whole
crop ; also one-half of all the hemp produced
in the United States.
The Influence of Malaria Counteracted.
That the harmful induenoe upon the human
system of malaria may be effectually counteracted
has been demonstrated for years past by
the protection afforded the inhabitants of vast
miasma-breeding districts in North and South
America, Guetafnala, Mexico and the West
Indies by llostetter's Stomach Bitters. Used
as a preventive, they have invariably been
found to be a most reliable safeguard against
chills and fever, bilious remittents, and still
more malignant tvpes of malarious disease,
and when employed as & remedy have always
proved their adequacy to the task of eradicating
such maladies from the system. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, which
in hot climates and miasmatic localities are
particular^ rife, the Bitters are a prompt and
thorough "remedy. They also strengthen the
system, tranquilize the nerves, promote digestion
and sound slefp, aid impart unwonted
relish for food.
