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.

THE EARTHQUAKES.
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.

place a comprehensive classification of
our agricultural exports, and in the
second place the balance in our favor
obtained by deducting the value of our
mports from that of the entire duik oi
products, manufactures, eto., exported.
it will be seen, so far as the latter is
concerned, that we have paid off our in
debtedness to other countries during tho
last three years, to the extent of over
three hundred and fifty millions of
dollars, and that the debt thus dis
charged last year was more than equal
to the large aggregate . of the . two pre

In cotton the diminished value was
only due in part to a smaller quantity,
the diHerence being -largely occasioned
by reduction in price. 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. American JSX'

How Long will the Forests Last,
Under such a tremendous yearly drain,
the question naturally comes up, how
long will our forests hold out at the
present rate of manufacture ? 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

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
