But live hair, hair bought, bv use the technical phrase,"on foot " the hair of girls and women bribed to submit their locks to the shears—grows annually scarcer and dearer. When the modest demand for tresses was influenced by a few elderly dames in need of wigs, the Bupply was easily secured by agents who bargained with the peasant maids of Brittany and Anvergne.

" Dead hair " has something of a sinis ter, sepulchral sound; but as without it the cbesp curls, fronts, and chignons could not be mi*de at the price, it may l>e comfortable to know that the original owners of the raw material are, as likely as not, alive and well.

THE UREEN FLAI4 OFTIIE PROPHET. A I'alvereal MwMmeae—lts OHfta~Ai Km blew m f Kxtermlaallea. Sinoo tho conuiientvoitMit of the war between Uitaaia and Turkey, the world haa several times lieeti startled by the Announcement that tha " Flag of Uie Prophet " WAN about to be unfurled in the atreeta of Stamboul. Hnch an event, if it ahonld happen (which may heaven avert), would proclaim a crusade in which all true Muaaiilmaue would le Nuuid U> take an active part, atid to tight against Christianity IU every part of the world. They may be ui ludia, Arabia, Kgypt, or wherever elae their scattered race ha* fouud a hotue ; the raining of the green standard i* a call i which mute may dtaotay without, a* the Koran lay* it down, aacrifieiug all hia topee of paradiae. This fearful ap|>eal to all the worst passion# of the Faaterurace# hang* like# incnmi'over the Moliamiuedau world; and if the word was ouee uttered and the dread ed dag uufurled, there ia no telling to what sanguinary oxccaaca it migtit lead au en thuaiaattc and half-aavage people, It mav lie of internet to our reador* if, , uuder theae circumstances, we endeavor to make them acquainted with the origin aud history of a tanner which haa uut i aeeu the light of day since the Kmpree* Catharine of Kusaia attempted to rein state Chiathuiitr in the Ottv of the Sul tans, and which once unfurled would set j a whole world uhlaxe. Thcro have IHWUI many flag* or siguala ussl by varioua nations at different crises iu their history to incite the peo ple U> Avattlc mi tahalf of rvligtoua, djr uaatnv# and nloait; hut none haa attained to tho fearful uotoriety which aujwrtaius to the terrible Flag of the Prophet ; which ia really a tanner of hlood, for it dispels tlie idea of mercy from the minds ami hearth of it# hdloweni, aud given no quarter to man, woman or child. Iu France the " oridamme " or goldeu sun upon a field of crimson aijniifitwl "uo quarter !" but tliia tvelebrato Flag of the lTviptat mean* infinitely more than this. It is a summons to au anti- Christian crusade, a challenge of every believer in the Prophet to arm* ; a war- M glial, iu fact, wliioh, like the Fiery Cross of Hivotlaud, would flash it* dread command through the dotuain of Ulam. The prophet himaelf predicted that oue day, wlieu his followerw should num ber 100,000,000 —which thev do now, with 20,000,000 more added to it—liis flag should flv against the advaucmg power of tho northern races aud the Korau or klohammtwhui Bible says that when its silken folds are flung forth " tho earth will shake, tho mountains molt luto dust, tho seas Diane uj> iu Are, and the children's hair grow white with anguish." This language is of course metaphorical ; but it is easy to conceive, by the light of very recent history, that some such catastrophe might Lake plate, as the displaying of this terrible sviul-ol would raise a frenzy of fanaticism in the breasts of the Mohammedan race all over the globe. The origin of the unugni* is a curious one. Mohammed gazing out upon a vaat prospect of held, said : " Nature is greeu, and green shall lie my emblem, for it is everlasting and universal." In course of time, however, it lost that innooent significance ; and amid hia visions the great dreamer saw the (1 recti Flag floating as a sign that all true be lievers ahould take up their arms and march against the infidel ; iu fact, the green turban was the eacred head-dree* of the pilgrim or perfected Islamite who hail gone to Mecca ; and hence the aaniv titv of this formidable standard. \Yheu once unfurldl, it summons all Islam by an adjuration from the Konui that the sword is tbe solitary emblem and instrument of faith, independence and patriotism ; that armies, not priests, make converts ; and that sharpened steel is the " true key to heaven." Upon that fearful ensign are inserted the words which are supposed to have been written at Mecca itself—namely; "All who draw it (the sword) will be rewarded with temporal advantage# ; every drop shed of their blood, every peril and hard ship endured by them, will lie registered on high as more meritorious than either fasting or praying. If they fall in battle, their sins will be at ouce blotted out, and they will be transported to paradise. But for the first heaven are renrrvod those of the faithful who die within tight of the Green Flag of the Prophet." Then follow the terrible and all-signifi cant words, the fearful war-cry against God and man : " Then may no man give Or expect merry !* This is the outburst of harbariam with which the world is threatened in this year of grace 1877; and the reader can not do otherwiae than mark the cunning nature of the portentous words inscribed on the prophet's banner. What would uot most men do, civilized or savage, for " temjxjral advantages?" While to the Eastern people fasting and praying are looked upon as of so meritorious a nature, that to find something else which, in the eyes of Allah, would be deemed of greater value still, would be a desideratum which none would fail to grasp, bv any means whatever, if it came within their reach. But Moham med'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 hgttle ; while his declaration that the highest heaven in this so-called paradise will lie reserved for those who die within tight of the Green Flag, is s masterpiece of policy nueqnaled in the annals of mankind. The standard itself is not u very hand some one, and is surpassed both in value and appearance by many of the banners which belong to the various lieneflt So cieties and other mutual associations of men in this country. It is of green silk, with a large crescent on the top of the staff, from which is suspended a long plnme 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 mosqne of St. Sophia at Constantinople, and is in the custody of the °Bbik-nl- Islain, or Mahommedan chief • esnript where all well-wishers of humanity may sincerely trnst it will ever remain. Chamber*'* Journal. Sheep Browsing above the Clouds. Probably the largest and highest nick in the known world is the South Dome of Yosemite. Standing at the fork of the upper valley, it rears itself, a solid rocky reef, 6,000 feet above the ground. A more powerful hand tbau that of a Titan has cut away the eastern half, leaving a sheer precipice over a mile in height. No man ever trod the top of this dome until last year. Former visi tors gazed in wonder at the spikes driven into the rock by hardy spirits, who had repeatedly endeavored* to scale it The shreds of rope dangling in the wind told the story of their failure. Last year, however, after thousands of dollars were spent, several persons found their way to the top ot the dome, and this summer two sheep were discovered browsing on the hitherto inaccessible peak. Mrs. A. J. Murphy, wife of a late hotel proprie tor in the valley, writes to a lady in New York as foil own: John Anderson is building stairs np to the top of the South -Dome. Yon osn go np now by holding onto i rope, but it iB quite a tiresome trip A few ladies in the valley have made the ascent, and lam sorry I did not attempt it. lint I am one <>T the few who have seen the son rise on the top of Cloud's Rest, and its glory will never fade from my memory. Strange to say, two sheep found their way to the top of the South Dome this summer, a dam aud her lamb. How they ever got there is more tbao any one oan tell. They found bunoh grass and shoots to eat, but no water—only the dew that fell on the dome at night. Anderson was going to oarry them Up some water when I left. There are those indeed, whom the world calls vain, who are not so. There is a desire in some men to have their real characters known, and therefore they speak for themselves, and with more than with perfect justice. Vanity and a spirt so sensitive as to fear lest merit or good feelings should be neg lected, are two different things. NTORM AH I) FLOOD. Rtirunllaari Kl. f it* Jautee KKw •t HlrSmostl.

Iu Rocket*, which ia ucarer to the river Utaa any other portion of the city, aorvst of atreeta, thicklv built, were sur rounded, ami many of tlie hotiaea com pletely buried beneath Uie water. No warning could have prepared Uie inhab itant* for a flihal go terrible iu it effect* ami at> ainft in ita denotation. Steadily, stealthily,aa iftlv Uteaeetlung tide rushed through Uie city into Uie darkened houses, giving no warniug, nave when it crashed in windows, aud then by its in creasing volume, broke down tbe tlnuay barriers of doora like reed stems in the £th of a cyclone. Like guowea aud rk water spirits, struggling men ami shrieking women were seen moving on housetops, while Uie steady fall of the oara from the succoring boata fell U|HIU tbe midnight air. Boats enough could not be gotten together to do what was necessary. Sturdy fathers could le seen moving cautioualy through the water, bearing their little ones oil their shoul ders ; people crawled to their third floors, and aa thev saw the water climb ing upward called out for boata to take them off. Homes and wagons, which were first in demand, were now set aside for skiffs and barges. At one o'clock the moon rose Ita light, feeble though H waa, came providentially. The cries for lamps aud candles were heard now. Boats plowed the streets weighted down with Uie workuigtuau'a moat precious cargo, hia wife and little ones. Aa they were aafdly landed at the foot of the hilla the cry of mothera calling to their litUe ones to keep together waa heard, and, casting one lingering aud look on the watery waves where once were happy homes, they moved off to give standing ground for other boaUoadn of the homeless. The men proved faithful and worked with a will. Then the river r.aie higher and higher, and the roar became like Niagara iu ita fnry. (Treat trunks of trees, portions of bridges and masses of timber a wept down tbe stream aud tore up aucb shan ties aud buildings aa stood in thtwr path. Nothing stayed the progress of Uie destructive flood. A single timber fell from a bridge a mile up the stream. It gathered strength and furv as it went on and tore up a small outhouse on tlie river bank, and clinging dose to this, gathered timbers as it moved, when the whol* nines waa hurled against the roofs of the houses in ita truck It weui on down the stream, gathering strength and being on the swift curreut a vary animate engine of tern rand annihilation. As it tore down Uie James River, crnshuig everything before it, this confused mass of timbers looked in the ghostly light of the moon like a liviug monster, thugiug huge arms in fierce contortions where the river current waa not broken. Such was tbe sight in Rockets. In the vioiuity of the go* work*, uu Main PtrSet, between Fifteenth llili Seventeenth #tn*ta, the appearance •# th wai-f was more insidious and oaui" iu more alow It. Here there waa uo cur rent, auJ tin- water backed inlo the citT by WAT of Shocker Creek. At ten o'clock it wtui over the door in the ol>l market, and oovered Main, Gary anil Franklin streets fur A distance of three wmarea. The h'*.bj!i*rter of the Chief of Police and the First police Htatiun limine were blocked up, the water rising rapul hr until it wu above the flint-story, no Uie policemen had to climb from the second-story win.low* into the flat bust* in the street. A line of ferryboat* wan tjuiekly es tablished to enable communication be tween the upper and lower swtMtia of the city. The verv center of the busi ness portion of lower Richmond na under water at ten o'clock. The busi ness signs of the wholeaale and retail house* float.-d, ami the only ntmle of efneaa waa from second story win. low*, while at half-past two o'clock to day the New York steamboat sheds wew under water and it was over the cave*. The wouid Hoor of the outii} >auy'soffice could only be seen, while the current* swept through the building and over the office counter*. At flvo o'oock the New York steamer Isaac Bell of the Old Dominion line, which was anchored near by the rodf of the shed, broke loose from her moorings and was hurled broadside down the cur rent right over toward the water covered houses in Rockets, At one moment it j looked as though she would tear her path through Main street and aweep down the bouses whose roofs held their trembling owners; at another, as the current laden with trees and timber struck her, ahe looked as though she would careeu and fall on her side. Hbe danced on the water like a curk and looked from the streets she was uearly ss large aa the Great Kastern, for the people were below tlie level of her hulL The sight of a large steamboat bearing down toward the narrow street* was terror inspiring, but her officer* suc ceeded in finding au anchorage down the river, near Youngling's James River Brewery, ami guided her from the street* in time to save them snd her from damage. The whole length of Kiobtuoud 1 rout ing on the river, from the pump house to the Chesapeake and Oliio wharvea. and streets running thereon, were under , the flood, a distance in all of three or four miles. On the 1 winks of the river in every direction was piled furniture and merchandise in one heterogeneous mass. Steam tngn could be seen plying the streets tugging small boats laden with household goods. In all this pic ture of ruin and misery wreckers were at work with their hooked poles drawing the articles of timber that were flying by. At lialf-pest one p. m. the first span of Mayo's Bridge gave way with a thunder ing aonud, and ten minutes Inter the second came down into the flood with a crash that could he heard for miles. Soon after five spans on the Manchester side fell and were swept off by the cur rent. This bridge ww rebuilt after tire flood of 187 ft at s cost of 880,000. About two o'clock in the morning the trestle work connecting Manchester with the main bridge of Belle lide wo* wash ed away, breaking up all communica tion 1 ictween these two places. On the lower part of the island all the houses were flooded to tne econd story. How HP Via* Suited.

The little Are-mount haa at tuuea, in Uie uiemory of ludnui and white settlers, put on till the aira of an embryouw but uuibitiuua volcano.

So am>w could long wvumulate iu Winter in cloae proximity to thia plain, unoe the heat of tbe ground would melt it, and aprtaga of water running from th aide of the blntfhave been made to. warm for drink ing two*. Being in a retired spot, nnlea awav from any hue of travel, on the weal bank of Uie Mwaouri river, in a bluffy region, tbe little volcano baa attracted the attuutiou of ouly a few of those who make aueh uuhjecta a atudy, and hence ia not mentioned, aa we believe, iu any of the worira on geography or geology.

The court*' of the shuck* was from west U mU They were e|>e<'iidly violent in the Adiron lUck uitinuUiiua region. Ou November Ift, an earthquake shock wiu felt in the State* of Kantian. Nebraska and lowa, and in Dakota Territory. 'Die ahock waa a very severe one, and it* effect* were |terceptible in moat of the cities of the States mentioned. In Omaha, j Neb., there wa* a panic. All peiwoua ui ; the up|>er floors of tlie lofty bnildinga ' tied to tlie a tree t. The post-office, a four story building, was almost deaerteil. ' The clerks at work in tbe Union I'ariflc j railroad company'# office* ran from the ( building, under the belief thai a large | aafe, which m being placed in one of ' tlie upper stone*, hail crushed in the flooring. Others were of the opinion that wmie part of the building had fullcn. ! The United Stale# military bend quarter# and tlie tlrand Central Hotel lost also, j in a few second*, most of their ooragMmta. The earthquake was felt throughout the < State. The court-house at North Platte waa injured, and the walls of the school- I house of tbe place an shaken that the frightened children left the building. The walla of a court-house in Columbus were cracked iu uiue place*. The court house at l'lattsmouth waa also slightly damaged ; the two upper atones of the high school, a four-story brick, were cracked, and some children were injured 1 wlule fleeing from the building. The children of a school in I'era ran ont of j the building in gnat alarm. Two dis- , tinct shocks of earthquake were felt at Jilair; giasla carelesaly placed on store , shelve* were tumbled upon the floor, but no bnildinga were damaged. At Fort Randall, tbe earthquake lasted marly a minute; buildings were violent ly aliaken, and several Indian tepee* j were knocked down. The Indians si Yankton ageu-'v were greatly excited, and good* fell off the •helve# in the trader'* store. In Lincoln, at the <#to6* office, the racka were swayed to and fro t is tlie third atory, the type rattled in the cvwa, and although tliere wa* not a breath of air stirring, the window* shook and rattled aa if a gale of wind was blowing outsida. Tbe county offi cers at work in tlie second story of the Bute block, a large building of brick and stone, became alarmed and ran frantic ally down stairs into the streets. Most merchants left their st<#e. In Sioux City, lowa, there were two earthquake waves, the second l>eing the . most powerful ami immediately allow ing the first. There was a continuous 1 vibration lasting forty-flveseeond*. In the Court house the district court was in Miuuon in tlie upper ntnrr. The build- J ing began r. i-kiug, the chandeliers changed, and apparently everything waa nlKrtit to tnmble into ruin when the court, jury, and spectators rushed to tlie j street bareheaded and greatly excited. A large congregation la Bt, Mary's 1 Catholic Church, present to witness eon- j Urination ceremonies, sprang to their feet in alarm, and would have rushed I madly from the building but for the re assuring wurds of the priest. BeveraJ ( wt >men fainted, and two were iujureil by jumping from their seat* in the choir, to the floor, a distance of twelve feet. The scholar* and teacher* in the High School building were also greatly alarmed aud fled iut't tlie street. Fortunately no one was injnred, although several <4 the scholars leaped into the street from the first *tory windows. One of the wifll* ( of the hnildfog was badly cracked. 'Hie clocks in many housea' were stopped, . crockery was broken, and in one fumae ail the pone* in a window were broken. The town must have presented tbe ap- ' pearaaoe of a Peruvian village at the moment of an earthquake, for everv one within a building fled from it and into the streets for safety'* aake. A rumbli g j nuine wa heard liefbre the earthquake wa* felt. Tbe direction of the wave wa* from northwest to southwest. Blight shocks of earthquake were felt in lowa City. Tlie first ahock was scarcely no ticeable, Hit the second and third were verv percept iWs. "On the ground floor of a building there wad bnrely a per ceptible tremor, m the second stories it wa* more iliatinct, while on third floait anil fourth floors. g* flxtnres and glare rattled, and there wa* a plainly psreepti ble motion a* of tbe floor slipping • with jerk*. Person* who were ou the upper fl<x>rs at the time were greatly alarmed, and spoke of tbe tremnlou* motion aa verv plain. ' Af Dnbnqne, the aliook wa* alight, but the aoholars in one Of the public school* were so badly frightened by the thought that the hnilding wa* about to tumble in, that they were dismissed. In Dea Moines, there pa* a slight panic among the scholar* at the high school, in conse quence of the shock. In Council Rluflk, it waa feared that several high building* would fall, but none were damaged. At the high school there wa* a alight panic. In Kansas tlie ahock was noticed at Topeka ami Atchison. At Topeka, in the Bant* Fe depot, the employee* felt the building rooking gently Irom north to south. Three gentlemen seated iu One of the moms suddenly looked at each other, and all exclaimed : " What is that I" Several man felt seasick and dixzy, aud ran to the windows to see if there wa* a train passing. In on* room a door was shut and the rocking-chair* rocked. At Atchison there was a severe shock, sad hundred* of people rushed into the atr. eU lu tlii city clerk's office the chandebar* trembled for ten minutes after the ahock. No damage wa* done. The earthquake wa* also felt in Bt. Joseph, Mo., and in St. Paul, Minn. On November 16, the day following the earthquake in the West, a violent earthquake shock wa* felt at KooxvWe, Tenn. The shock wa* apparently only Eived at this place in the South, as are no report* from any other iern eity of aiich an oocntTenee. Knoxville buildings are not reported to have liecn damaged.
