THE GttEEX FLAG OF THE PROPHET. ; A Universal gammoni.lia Orlgln-An Em. blera of Extermination. - . Sinoe the commencement of the war between Russia and Turkey, tho world lias several times been startled by the Announcement that the " Flag of the Prophet " was nbont to 6 nnfurled in the Btreets of Stnmbottl. Such an event, i if it should hnppen (whioh may heaven avert), would proclaim a crusade in whioh all tmo Mussulmans would be bound to take an active part, and to fipht against Christianity in every part of the world. They may be in India, Arabia, Egypt, or "wherever else their . scattered race has found a borne ; 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 passions of the Eastern races hangs like a menace over the Mohammedan world ; and if the word was oncenttercdandthedread ed flag nnfurled, there is no telling to what "sanguinary excesses it might lead an en thusiastic 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 Russia attempted to rein state Chistianity in the City of the Sul tans, and which once unfurled would set a whole world ablaze. There have been many flags or signals used by various nntions at different crises in their history to incite the peo ple to battle on behalf of religions, dy nasties and ideas ; but none has attained to the fearful notoriety which appertains to tho terrible Flag of tho Prophet J 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 France tho "or illumine " or gol.len sun upon a field of crimson signified " no quarter !" but this celebrated Flag of the Prophet means infinitely more tli an this. It is a summons to an anti Christian crusailo, a challenge of every believer in the Prophet to arms ; a war signal, in fact, which, like tho 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 num ber 100,000,000 which they do now, with 20,000,000 more added to it his flag should fly against the advancing power of the northern races ; and the Koran or Mohammedan Bible says that when its silken- folds are flung fortli " the earth will shake, tho 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 conceive, by the light of very recent history, that some such catastrophe might tako 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 gret;n, and green shall be my emblem, for it is everlasting and universal." In course of time, however, it lost that innocent significance ; and amid his visions tho great dreamer saw the Green Flag floating as a sign that all true be hevers should take up their arms and march against the infidel ; in fact, the green turban waa the eacred head-dress of the pilgrim or perfected Islamite who find gone to Mecca ; and hence the sanc tity of this formidable standard. When once unfurled, it summons all Islam by au adjuration from the Koran that the sword is the 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 advantages ; every drop shed of their blood, every peril and hard ship endured by them, will be registered on high as more meritorious than either fasting or praying. If they fall in battle, their sins will bo at once blotted out, and they will bo transported to paradise. But for the first heaven are reserved those of the faithful who die within mght 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 expect mrcy I" This is the outburst of barbarism with which the world is threatened in this year of grace 1877 ; and the reader can not do otherwise than mark the cunning nature of the portentous words inscribed on the prophet's banner. What would not most men do, civilized or savage, for ' temporal advantages ?" While to the Eastern people fastiDg and praying are looked upon as of so meritorious a nature, that to find something else whioh, 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 Moham med's wonderful knowledge of human nature, and more especially of Eastern human nature, is shown in Lis 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 tho Green Flag, is a masterpiece of policy unequaled in the annals of mankind. The standard itself is not a very hand some one, and is surpassed both in value and appearance by many of the banners which belong to the various benefit 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 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-ul-Islam, or Mahemmedan chief eseript where all wi-11-wishers of humanity may sincerely trnst.it will ever remain.

Three Barthqankris-An American Vole The Earthquake In the Eastern mates Exrhlna Experience or Inhnhirnnt of Western Citles-The Heather n Earth-' quake, , . , , , An unusually mild autumn was sig nalized at its close by three severe earthquake shocks. These shocks wore felt in the East, in the West, and in the South. Commenting upon them the ', Chicago Evening Journal makes the following interesting statement about the recent active condition of a little known volcano in Nebraska : ' ' The latest earthquake shock",' whioh especially affected western Iowa, and were still sharper in. northeastern Ne braska and southwestern Dakota, bring to mind the fact that the " Ionia Vol cano," known to a few scientific investi gators of the weft as existing in the high bluffs near the little village of Ionia, in northeastern Nebraska, is di rectly in the centre of the area traversed by the eartliquake vibrations of Thurs day noon. The little fire-mount has at times, in the memory of Indian and white settlers, put on all the airs of an embryonic but ambitious volcano. From out the seams or fissures in the blnffs in that locality have come vapors, heat and rumbling sounds. No snow could long accumulate ia winter in close proximity to this place, since the heat of the ground would melt it, and springs of water running from- th side of the bluff have been made too warm for drink ing uses. Being in s retired spot, miles away from any line of travel, on the west bank of the Missouri river, in a bluffy region, the little volcano has attracted the attention of only a few of those who make such subjects a study, and hence is not mentioned, as we believe, in any of the works on geography or geology. The occurrence of the earthquake, with its key or centre at the Ionia volcano, makes worthy of remark the fact that for a few months past this little Ameri can Vesuvius has been unusually active. Its vapors have arisen almost constantly, and, for the first time since white men have viewed its action, these vapors have been easily distinguishable for a dozen or more miles away. The first of these disturbances of the earth's surface was perceived on Novem ber 4, by the inhabitants of northern New Hampshire," Vermont, westeru Massachusetts, northern '' and central New York and Canada. The course of the Bhocks was from west to east. They ivere especially violent, in the Adiron dack mountains region. On November 15, an earthquake shock was felt in the States of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, and iu Dakota Territory.. The shock was a very severe one, and its effects were perceptible in mo&t of the cities oi the states mentioned, in Guiana, Neb., there was a panic. All persons in the upper floors of the lofty buildings fled to the street. The post-office, a four-story buildirig, was almost deserted. The clerks at work in the Union Pacific railroad company's offices ran from the building, under the belief that a lorge safe, which was being placed in one of the upper stories, had crushed, in the flooring. Others were of the opinion that some part of the building had fallen. The United States military headquarters and the Grand Central Hotel lost also, in a few seconds, most of their occupants. The earthquake was felt throughout the State. The court-house at North Platte was injured, and the walls of the school house of the place so shaken that the frightened children left the building. The walls of a court-house in Columbu3 were cracked in nine places. Tho court house at Plottsmouth was also slightly damaged ; the two upper stories of the high school,. a four-story brick, were cracked, and some children were injured while lleeing from the building. The children of a school in Peru ran out of the building in great alarm. Two dis tinct shocks of earthquake were felt at Blair; goods carelessly placed on store b Helves were tumbled, upon the floor, but no buildings were damaged. At Fort Randall, the earthquake lasted ucarlv a minute: buildings were violent ly shaken, and several Indian tepees wero knocked down, The Indiana at Yankton agency were greatly -excited, and goods fell off the shelves in the trader's store. In Lincoln, at the Globe office, the racks were swayed to and fro iu the third story, the type rattled in the eases, and although there was not breath of air stirring, the windows B'loi'k and rattled as if a gale of wind was blowing outside. The county om cers at work iu the seccn 1 story of the 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 vibration lasting forty-five seconds. In the court house the district court was in session in the upper story. The build ing 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. A large congregation in . St. Mary's Catholio Church, present to witness con formation ceremonies, sprang to their feet in alarm, and would have rushed madly from the building but for the re assuring words of the priest. Several women fainted, and two were injured by jumping from their seats in the choir, to tne noor, a distance oi twelve leet. xne scholars and teachers in the High School building were also greatly alarmed and fled into the street. Fortunately no one was injured, . although several of tbe 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 stormed. 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 earthauake. for every one within a building fled from it and into the streets for safety's sake. A rnmbli g noise was heard before the earthquake was felt. The direction of the wave was from northwest to southwest. Slight shocks of earth que ke were felt in Iowa City. The first shook was scarcely no tioeable, but the second and third were very perceptible. " On the ground floor of a building there was barely a per ceptible tremor, in the seoond stories it was more distinct, while on third floors and fourth floors, gas fixtures and glass rattled, and there was a plainly percept! ble motion as of the floor slipping with jerks. Persons who were on the upper floors at the time were greatly alarmed, and spoke of the tremulous motion as very plain."" At Dubuque, the shock was slight, but the scholars in one of the pubho 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 panio among the scholars at the high school, in oonse- cmenea of the shock. . in uonnoli Jiiaaa. it was feared that several high buildings would fall, but none were damaged. At the high ohool there wag a slight panic, In Kansas the shook was noticed at Topeka and Atchison. ' At Topeka, in the Santa Fe depot, the employees felt the building rocking gently from north k south. . Three gentlemen seated in one of the rooms suddenly looked at each other, and all 'exclaimed ! "What is that t" - Several men felt seasick and dizzy,, and ran to the windows to Bee if there was a train passing. : In one room a door was shut and the rocking-chairs rocked. At Atchison there was a severe shock, and hundreds of people rushed into the streets. In the city olerVa office the chandeliers trembled for ten minutes after the shocks ; No damage was done. The earthquake was also felt in St. Joseph, Mo., and in St. Paul, Minn. . Ou .November 10, the clay following the earthquake in the ' West, a violent earthquake shock was felt at Jinoxvuie, Tenn. . The shock was apparently only perceived at this place in the South, as there are no reports from , any other Southern city of such au occurrence. Knoxville buildings are not reported to have been damaged.' Our Exports of Agricultural Prodncts.

In breadstuff's there was some decline, but the reduc tion is mainly in quantity. The wheat exported averaged in value a small frac tion short of 81.17 per bush, against about $1.24 the preceding year. In the next item, that of provisions, is included fresh beet t" the value ot 5f4,OOJ.52J, and mutton to that of $36.480 both to gether making but a small part of the heavy increase of over twenty-live mil' lions as compared to the year before. Of this increase, SlO.OOU.UUU, in round num bers, was in bacon and hams, which yielded very nearly 850,000.000. The shipments of butter were quadrupled m value, reaching 84,400,000, and more than quadrupled in quantity having been 21,527,242 lbs. against 4,644,894 the preceding year. Cheese increased 10, 000,000 lbs., reaching the aggregate of 107.364.606 lbs., valued at 812,700,627, The remainder of the increase shown was pretty evenly divided through the list. In the next group, embracing all other agricultural products, about half the aggregate value, or about $32,000,000, is due to tobacco, on which the increase was some seven millions on the year be fore. Hops sprang from $1,385,621 to $2,305,355, but this was mainly owing to better prices, , the quantity having only increased from 9,191,589 to 9,581, 108 lbs. Another million of dollars of the increase comes from tallow, and two millions more from seeds of which lat ter the shipments aggregated over $3, 500,000 as against $1,400,000 the previous ytr.-. ... Vt the large increase in non-agricui tnral exports the bulk is due to the heavier shipments and higher price of mineral oils, the aggregate valne of which for the year was $61,789,438 against $32,915,786.

It is really au important question, upon which fol lows the inquiry as to what we are to do for building material when this mag nificent wood pine is shausted. One authority after another has entered formally upon its solution, with satis factory results in local instances,' but very vague ones as to the field at large, At the rate we are cutting it to-day, from tliirty to fifty years seem to lie agreed upon as about the limit. Twenty years ago there was apparently no limit, for the consumption was not only less, but the means for its manufacture : were primitive, and accomplished much smaller results than now. It seems as if it were impossible to further improve the machinery of 'saw-mills ; but the near future may, for all that, see sawing machinery in comparison to which that of the present will be contemptible. So, although twenty years ago there was no foreseeing the end of the timber, now. with the modern mills and myriads of them, we are beginning to calculate with dire certainty, as to the time when the " Wooden Age" will be a thing oi the past. Charles D. Eobinson in Scrib ner. Productions of States. Iowa now takes rank as the greatest wheat-producing State, Minnesota comes next in order, men xumois, Wisconsin takinir the fourth place. Ohio raises the most winter wheat ana wooi, xinnois stows the most corn and oats and pro duces the largest number of fat cattle and hogs. Pennsylvania grows the most rye, amounting to nearly one-fifth the total production of that cereal in the Skates. California produces the greatest barley crop, and also the most silk co coons and wine. New York gives us the greatest amount of hay, hops, potatoes, peas and beaus. Sweet potatoes . are most largely produoed in North Carolina. South Carolina is the great rice-pro dncinar State : Georgia comes next, and then Louisiana ; these three States yield--iiiir nearlv the whole rioe crou of the country..
