THE BANNER OF THE PRoPHET.-
Now that the Sultan is reported to
have raised the Prophets banner, it
is worth while to note what that ban>
ner is. 1t is black, about two ellis
wide, and was originally the curtain
of the chamber of Ayesha. the favor>
ite of Mahomet. As the Prophet lay
on his death bed in this chamber bis
chief warriors came take leave OF
him, and he presented them with the
curtain of the room as a banner, look J
ing upon which they were to remem-
Der that they fought for Allah and
Mahomet. Afterwards il became
the custom Of the Caliphs, when they
entered upon campaign, to have
this standered Gbe Sandschack Sche-
riff borne before them. Still later it
was settled that the banner was to
be raised only when the war in which
the Sultans lin religion, the Caliphs
engaged was entered upon in be
half Of the faith. What gives this
standard its peculiar significance is
the belief that he who dies in its
shadow goes at once to the highest
Joys tf Paradise.

a STRANGE sroRY.

Here is true story from Phi'a-
deIpbia with all the elements ofmys-
terry and dramatic horror for which
our modern noveIists and playwriters
strive in vain. Two or three months
after the Exposition closed the dead
body of mao was found in q lonely
gorge, six miles from the city, too
much desomposed for recognition,
and without the slightest clue in his
clothing by which to identify him.
1t was supposed he had been guest
at the Granger's Hotel, which was
an enormous temporary barracks to
which thousands Of transient dodgers
came daily. No register was kept,
nor could any account be taken OF
them after they paid for their room
| 10 advance. What could be more
unlikely than that this unrecogniza
BILE body could be identified as one
Of the nameless millions who came
and went through Philadelphia last
year, or that his murderer should be
found
Yet, by chance letter to prom
inent newspaper publisher from Ger
many, the whole strange story IL laid
bare. The murdered man proves to
be a young German Of a wealthy
family who came to Philadelphia last
| sumrner. At this Changers Hotel
| he fell in with another German and
formed a close compai ionship with
him. The stranger learned oil his
secFsas, ihs particulars Of his bust,
ness and family life, obtained letters
| from fssm from which he studied his
hand writing, pecuIisrisias of express
ion, etc. When his plans were ripe
he enticed the young fellow out to
this lonely gorge, killed him, took
possession Of his trunk and other
property, and opened correspond
ence with bis family in Germany.
Since last October this corresponds
ence has been carried on, the muir
derer personating his victim and
obtaining BY pleas Of illness, losses,
etc, large sums Of money.
By this time his arrest will in all
probability be made. We spoke the
other dav of the inexorable justice
which dogs the steps of guilty man
But we never remember to have seen
a stronger proof of it than this, un
less it was the death of Lee at Moun-
tain Meadows. -New York Tribune.

FIFTY THOUSAND DEATHS FROM
CHOLERA. - Information has been re-
ceived at the Department OF State
from the Consul General at Calcutta
that Captain Henry Suall, his sister,
Chief Officer Dyer, and three sea-
men of the American bank Edmund
Phiuney, died suddenly of cholera,
at Akyab, on the 18th Of March last.
The cholera has prevailed to an
alarming extent in the district about
Chitragong and on the islands along
the coast, which were inundated by
the great storm wave on the 3lst OF
October, 1876. More than fifty
thousand deaths have been reported
from cholera alone, and in addition
u ssiese there have been large nuns
bers from pestilential fevers, attrib'
uted to the same general causes-in>
lection of air and wasted by the de
composition Of the multitades of hui
man beings and cattle which perish
ed at that time. This state of things
is likely to continue till heavy rains
carry off aemaining impurities.
