The standard Of The Prophet and What
Remains Of II.

Remains Of IL.
my. Wo1ld.---
The Turks are at war and have throw
to the breeze the famous standard OF tns
Prophet. So the papers say, ana art
right thus far; but when they ada ina,
the standard In question IL green they
only contribute to the disseminstion Oh
q popular error. The banners used by
the Turks in battle have for time imme'
mortal been of different colors, but the
great standard Of Mohamet, the nag
OF the Prophet, is not green but black,
as indeed It should be, seeing that It was
designed originally as contrast and re-
proof to the white flag OF the koreish-
ties. Besides, Mohamet himself gave
it the express name OF Okab, or black
eagle. The first standard OF the ProPhet
was the white turban OF Boreide, whom
he had captured; afterwards ne adopted
as distinctive ensign the black curtain
that hung at the entrance OF the tent Of
Ayesha. Bis wife. This holy flag Is pre-
served by the pious Mussulmans as one
OF their most sacred treasures. 1t 10
wrapped in forty-twc coverings OF satin
and locked In costly chest, placed In Q
sort OF chapel, in the inmost recesses OF
the seraglo. It Is only unfurled at criti-
cal periods, such as revolts, civil wars
or imminent invasions. When the cere-
mony. OF unfurling 1t takes place, the
criers give three days notice, In order
that infidels may depart from the neigh
borhood OF the sGndShdk, as should It's
folds be contaminated by their profane
regards they would immediately be put
to death. This famous flag first fell into
the hands OF the partisans OF Omar, at
Damascus thence it passed to the Abs
sides, and from them to the bloody
handed Selim L., arriving in Europe
during the reign OF Amurath Ill.
Whatever the faithful themselves may
pretend, there is little doubt that not
more than the merest fragment-if so
much--of the original standard remains
after the stormy centuries OF war and
civil tumult through which the nation
has passed, and In whose 81 enes the
flag must of necessity have figured.

A Bill for the Relief Of the Butchers and
Others

The bill introduced by that practical
and vigilant Representative from the
Eleventh District, Mr.. Kummel, emit
tied "An act to protect the health Of the
city of New Orleans, to locate the slaugh-
ter-houses and stock landings, and regtl-
late the inspection of cattle slaughtered
for sale as food" is very important
measure of relief to the large number
Of persons engaged in the business Of
butchering and dealing in stock.
The object of the bill is to give to all
persons engaged in the business. who
have paid their licenses, the right Of
conducting the same within the lines
indicated - that is, below the lower
boundary of the city on the left bank,
and below the depot of Morgan's Rail
road on the right bank. This provision
repeats and abolishes the special and
exclusive right of the Crescent City
Slaughter House and Stock Landing
Company. The bill changes the regu-
lations Of the inspection of cattle
slaughtered for sale in the New Orleans
by requiring the cattle to be
slaughtered within twenty-four hours
after they are inspected, and to be
inspected after they are slaughtered.
the Inspector to be required to slaughter
all animals intended to be sold for food.
All laws in conflict with the provisions
Of this bill are repealed.

The DEMOCRAT finds space with great
pleasure for the well conceived and ef-
fective letter OF Senator Blackburn to
the editor Of the Donaldsonville Chief.
or course the DEMOCRAT does not enter
into the personal controversies Of the
parties, but the tone and spirit Of Mr..
Blackburn's letter as regards his politi-
cal position and views, although from a
Republican standpoint, command our
interest and respect. It seems to us
that, with such proper and patriotic
views, Mr.. Blackburn would not be very
FAR wrong In the Grand Army Of the
Democratic and Conservative party now
gathering its victorious columns to fight
and to win next fall final and crown.
ing victory in behalf OF the virtue, In.
telligence and honest industry of Louis
lana" The DEMOCRAT certainly agrees
with Mr.. Blackburn that Louisiana has
been ruled and robbed and socially
and morally depraved by heartless
combination of sharp ring masters, as
long as she will or can endure it.
Without saying more at this time, we
submit Mr.. Blackburn's entire letter to
our readers, who will discover that 1t
but speaks for itself.

THE WEEKLY DEMOCRAT.

We publish to-day q circular which
has been sent to all parts OF the State,
announcing the appearance, at an early
day, of the weekly DEMOCRAT. This an
nouncement will prove cold comfort to
those of our journalistic cO,yreres who
have been predicting our speedy demise
and have attempted to throw every pos
sible obstacle i'm our way, as the public
has already been informed. We regret
to have to recur so often to this I'm
pleasant matter, but we cannot stand
upon nice points of journalistic eti-
quette and courtesy when our very
safety and liberties are at stake in the
war which we are waging, and shall con
tinue to wage, against an apparently
studied effort to demoralize the public
mind and to emasculate the peoples
energies. If the so-called conservative
press of. this city wishes to enjoy the
respect of the community, let it free
itself from the control OF such outra-
geous and immoral monopolies as the
Louisiana Lottery Company, and come
out boldly in denunciation Of that and
similar corrupt institutions and rings.
If the papers to which We refer had not
proved false to their mission and be-
trayed the people, the DEMOCRAT would
never have seen tho light Of day, and we
say to them, in all sincerity, that II
they will mend their ways and cham
pion the cause OF right and morality,
no one will extend to them u more cor
dial welcome than we shall.
The managers of the DEMOCRAT be-
lieve that the public understands full
well that this paper was not established
aus q pecuniary venture, but for the pur-
pose of aiding in redeeming the State
from misrule. They hope to make of
their paper a first-class journal in every
respect one that will enjoy the conf
dence and respect of the people. They
are perfectly conscious that as yet it
falls far short of what 1t should be, but
time and experience will enable its
managers to cure it's present defects
and to make of the DEMOCRAT the lead
ing journal of the South.

PARISH OF WEST FELICIANA.

A full report Of large and important
public meeting, called by the Property
Holders Protective Union in the parish
Of West Feliciana, appears in the
DEMOCRAT OF this morning. The pro-
ceedings are somewhat lengthy, but
they are highly interesting and we pub
lish them because Of their public import
ance and because OF our great respect
for the parties. 1t will be seen that
Mr.. Frank V. d. Hagaman, one Of our
best citizens, was chosen to preside
Messrs. Jared H. Richardson, DR.. Whit
man Wilcox, John T. Towles, Jules
Freyhan, DR.. r. II. Ryland, VIM. Town

secretary. The speeches and the re-
solutions indicate pointedly and
plainly enough the objects Of this assem-
blage Of the people "peaceably to
petition for redress OF grievances. In
reading the resolutions we can only ex-
press our surprise that human1 entiu-
rance should have gone so far as to have

TRINITY GIRLS School COMMENCEMENT.
There was large and attentive audience
assembled in the spacious hall beneath
Trinity Church, to witness the COM
mencement exercises Of the Trinity
Girls School. The various essays, dia-
logues, ETC., were rendered most admira-
bly, by the pupils, who displayed the
most thorough and attentive training.
After the programme was completed,
the Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson, rector
of Trinity Church, made few very
entertaining and appropriate remarks.
He said, in conclusion: "Young lady
graduates, you are school girls tonight,
but tomorrow you will be women; and
you will prove, no doubt, not only Mis-
tresses Of Arts, but also OF hearts"
After the diplomas had been bestowed
the large audience dispersed.
