VU * ~ Secretary Carlisle. -«f the receipts and expenditures during the xemaiader of this month and the month of Febtrnrj. It will be seen from the statement that there ts an urgent necessity for such an immediate action as will replenish the coin reserve •and enable this department to continue payeaeatof public expenses and discharge the obligations of the government to pensioners and - ether lawful creditors. When my annual report was prepared it was -aathnated that the expenses during the current fiscal year would exceed the receipts to the amount of about 828 009,090, and 'I asked con4trcss tor authority to issue and sell bonds or «ther forms of obligations to aq amount not exceeding $50,009,009, bearing a low rate of interest and having a reasonably sjbort time to rue, to enable the secretary of the treasury to •apply such deficiencies as might occur in the xeveeues. EXPECTATIONS ROT IlfiALlZgfi. The esttmate then made was based upon tht? assumption the the worst effects of our financial disturbances had already been realised •ad there would be a substantia} increase in Ahe revenues for the remainder of the year. While it was not believed that the deficienthqn existing would be supplied by ln-«-sreaecd revenues in the future, it was hoped ‘‘ttistao additional deficiency would occur, but - the receipts and expendithres during the raaoath of December and up to the: twelfth day of the present month show that the estimates -of a deficiency of 828,009,009 at the close of the Tear was much too low.

If this action should be taken, congress ought, nevertheless, to provide promptly for the deficiency in the revenues during the current fiscal year, and I will, from time to time, advise your committee of the condition of the treasury In order that this subtacytoy receive doe consideration.

Section 3.071 of the Revised Statutes provides that "all stocks, bonds, treasury notes snd other obligations of the United States shall be exempt from taxation by or under' state or municipal or local authority.” On account of this general statute it was not proposed in the bill which the secretary of the treasury laid before the senate finance committee in the early part of last week to make any provision concerning the taxation of the bonds which he is asking congress to authorise him to Issue. The house of representatives, by a rule adopted some time ago, has dedicated all its time until the £9th of the present month to the consideration of the Wilson tariff bill, and therefore it would have been Impossible for the secretary of tbe treasury to procure any legislation in that body before that time, sad for this reason Secretary Carlisle thought it necessary to make tbe application first to the committee on finance of the senate, which he hopes will act upon the measure in time to provide the neoessary means for the government. i i CARLISLE’S BILL.

The bill which is referred to m the foregoing letter, and which he referred to, is as follows: An net to ammend section 3 of “sn set to provide for resumption of specie payments,” approved January 14,1835. Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that “section 3 of “An act to provide for resumption of specie payments.” approved January 11. lifts, be and the same is hereby so amended that in lien of the descriptions of bonds, therein authorized the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to issue from time to time, as he may deem necessary, and in such form as he may prescribe, coupon or registered bonds of the United States in denominations of SS5 and multiples thereof redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States afteryears from sale, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding 3 per cent, per annum, payable quarterly in coin, and to sell the same at not less than par in coin; and the proceeds of such bonds shall be held and used to maintain the parity of all forms of money coined or issued by the United States, but the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to use from time to timo such part of such proceeds as may be necessary to supply deficiencies in the public revenues during the fiscal year 1881. Sec. 8. A sum sufficient to carry the provisions of this act into effect is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.

That it is the sense of the house that the secretary of the treasury has no authority under existing law to issue and sell the bonds of the United States, except such as is conferred upon him. bjr the act approved January 14, 1875,. ‘An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments,’ and that the money derived from the - Sale of bonds issued under that act can not be lawfully applied to any purpose excepting those specified therein.” The resolution was referred to the judiciary committee. The ’committee is understood to be against the issue of bonds.

“Standing Stone*” of Pern. Near the little Tillage of San Jose, Peru, on the bleak andfbarren Shores of Lake Titicaca—the most elevated body of water of any considerable size in the world—are three large pillars of stone. If they were not of unequal height they would resemble gate-posts or piers upon which, at some time in the. far past, great arches had been erected. To the different tribes of Peruvians they are known by words which signify “standing stones” or **tall stone gods.” Upon the north side of each of these huge bowlders the rude features of a human face have been deeply carved, the other three sides of each being chiseled with designs of various shapes, kinds and sizes. Thesa carved symbols are all supposed to have some reference to sun-worship, whieb the ancient Peru*’ vians are known to have practiced. Although the ancient inhabitants of that country were highly civilized and probably had many mechanical appliances, it is believed that they were unequal to the task of placing these gigantic monoliths in their present position. The evidence rather points to their having originally been wandering or erratic bowlders, deposited by some melting glacier-—N- Y. Sun. * Th« Prairie Sebooaer Yet in Pw. The picturesque “prairie schooner" is yet an important means of transportation, despite the network of railroads that has overspread the country in recent years. During the past few weeks some of the main roads and trials through the central counties of Texas have been dotted over with the big canvas-covered wagons, strung out in from three to a dozen in a fleet, with horses trotting beside and behind, and with all the interesting attendant features familiar in the pioneer daya The travelers are fanners bound to the coast counties from northern Texas, the emigration from which region is attaining the dimensions of an exodus. Years of drought, short crops, and small prices an the cause, and so anxious are the farmers to get away that they have been almost giving their property there away, many leaving their lands unsold and untenanted. Twenty families passed through Sealy recently, and eight through Belleville in one day not long ago, bound for the coast counties. The latter party comprised forty persons, and were traveling ip a fleet of twelve schooners. —N. Y. Sun._

GOD’S BARE AI M. Rev. Dr. Talmagfe Talks m the Wondrcms Works of € xL With Bu«d Arm Stretched Forth He Celled lato Being the W<< drone Condition* of Earth end Cni »rne that Compel Men’s Revere e _ e The following discourse on he subject: “The Bare Arm of God” w:;s delivered by Rev. T. DeVVitt Tali acre in the Brooklyn tabernacle on ti. recent Sabbath, being based on the te d: The Lord hath made bare this Ho y arm.Isaiah Hi, 10. It almost takes onr breath away to read some of the Bible imagery’ There is such boldness of metaphor in my text that I have been for soi te time getting my courage up to preac it from it. Isaiah, the evangelistic pro [diet, is sounding the Jubilate of our p met redeemed, and cries out: ‘The Lo rd hath .made bare His holy arm.” W1 it overwhelming suggestiveness in thi t figure of speech, “the. bare arm of Go P* The people of Palestine’to this dr y wear much hindering apparel, an; when they want to run a special race or lift a special burden, or fight a spe t ial battle, they put off the outside ap srel, as in our land, when a man proposes a

special exertion, he puts off his coat and rolls up his sleeves. Walk hrongh our founderies, our machine sli »ps, our mines, our factories, and you v. ill find that most of the toilers ha t e their coats off and their sleeves rollei l up. Isaiah saw that there must 1 e a tremendous amount of work don : before this world becomes what it ought to be, and he foresees it all accon: ilished, and accomplished by the Almighty; not as we ordinarily think of Bim, but by the Almighty with the slee sof His robe rolled back to His shoulder: “The Lord hath made bare His holy m" Nothing more impresses me in the Bible than the ease with wh ;h God does most things. There is sie ;h a reserve of power. He has more i mnderbolts than He has ever flunj, more light than He has ever distributed; more blue than that whiCh He has overarched the sky; more green than that with which He has emerufied the grass; more crimson than th t with which He has burnished the f unsets. I say it with reverence, from a l I can see, God lips never half tried. But see how easy God made tl e light. He did not make bare His arm: He did not even put forth His robed arm; He did not lift so much as a fingt *. The flint out of which He struck tli 5 noonday sun was the word: “Light, ’ “Let there be light!” Adam dithnoi see the sun until the fourth day, for, though the sun was created on the first day, it took the rays from the first to the fourth day to work through the dense mass of fluids by which the eat th was compassed. Did you ever hear of anything so easy as that? So unique? Out of a word came the blazir g sun, the father of flowers, and armth, and light? Out of a word building a fire-place for all the nat ions of the earth to warm themsel es by!

Yea, seven other worlds, five of them inconceivably larger than our own. and seventy-nine asteroids, or worlds, on a smaller scale! The-warn: th and light for this great brotherhood, great sisterhood, great family of worlds, eighty-seven larger or smaller worlds, all from that one magnificent £ e-place made out of the one word—' Light.” The sun eight hundred and eu hty-six thousand miles in diameter. I do not know how mnch grander a sc ar system God could have created if He had pvt forth His robed arm, to say : tothing of an arm made bare! But this (know, that our noonday sun was a» spark struck from the $nvil of one w rd, and that weed—“Light,” “But,” says some one, “do yam not think that in making the mach nery of the-universe, of which or solar system is comparatively a small wheel working into mightier wheels, it mi-it have cost God some exertion? The r theaval of an arm made hare?” No; we acre distinctly told otherwise. T: e machinery at a universe God mad simply with His fingers. David inspired in a night sowg, says so: “When I c ansider Thy heavens, the work of Thy ngers” . Now I ask, for the benefit of ill disheartened Christian workers if God accomplished so mnch with llis fingers, whnt can He do when Be puts out all His strength ? and when He-unlimbers all the bat eries of His omnipotence? The Bible speaks again and again of God’s outs retched arm, but only once, and the in the text, of the bare arm of God. My text makes it plain that he rectification of this world ista sti >endo«8 undertaking. It takes more power to make this world; over agair than it took it at first. A word was only necessary for the creation, but for the new creation the unsleeved tod unhindered forearm of the ii mighty. The reason of that I can un erstansL In the-ship yards ef Liverpool or Glasgow; or New York, a'gren vessel is constructed. The architect cl raws out the plan, the length of the l jam, the capacity of tonage, the rotati n of the wheel or screw, the cabins, t te masts arnt all the appointments of his great palace of the deep. The arc itect finishes his, work without any perplexity, and the carpenters and the ar isana toil <an the craft so»many hours a day, each one doing his port, until with flags flying, and thousands of peopl huzzaing

mi the docks, the vessel is launched. But out on tie- sea that steai ter breaks her shaft and is limping sl< wly along toward harbor, when Caribli tan whirlwinds, those mighty hunt rs of the deep, looking out for pre.j of ships, surround that wounded rest I to pitch it on a rocky coast, and si; lifts and falls in the breakers until wery joint is loose and every Spar is down, and every wave sweeps over the hurricane, deck as she parts amidships. Would it not require moi skill and power to get that splinter t vessel off the rocks and reconstruct it than it required originally to bail her? Aye! Our world that God built sc. beautiful, and which started out v ith ail the flags of Edenic foliage a d with the

chant of paradisaical bowers, had been sixty centuries pounding in the skerries of sin and sorrow, and to get ht r out,, and to get her off, and to get her on the right way again will require more of omnipotence than it require 1 to build her and launch her. So I am not surprised that, though ill the dry dock of one word our world was made, it will take the unsleeved arm of God to lift her from the rocks and put her on the right course again. It; is evident from my text, and its com pariison with other texts, that it would not be so great an undertaking tc make a whole constellation of worlds, and a whole galaxy of worlds, and a whole astronomy of worlds, and swing them in their right orbits, as to take this wonnded world, this stranded world, this bankrupt world, this destroyed world, and make it as good as when it started. . Arm of the Lord, awake, awake. I*ut on thy strength, the nations shake? Aye, it is not only the Lord’s arm that is needed, the holy arm, the outstretched arm, but the bare arm. There, too, stands Mohammedanism, with its one hundred and sev-enty-six million victims. Its ‘ bible is the Koran, a book not quite as large as our New Testament, which was revealed to Mohammed when in epileptic fits, and. resuscitated from these fits, he dictated it to scribes, Yet it is read to-day by more people than any other book ever written. Mohammed, the founder of that religion, a polygamist, with superfluity of wives, the first step of his religion on the body, mind and soul of woman; and no wonder that the heaven of the Koran is an everlasting Sodom, an infinite seraglio, about which Mohammed promises that each follower shall have in that place seventy-two wives, in addition to all the wives he had on earth, but that no old woman shall ever enter Heaven. When a bishop of England recently proposed that the best way of saving Mohammedans was to let them keep their reiigion, but engraft upon it some new principles from Christianity, he perpetrated an ecclesiastical joke, at which no man can laugh who has ever seen the tyranny and domestic wretchedness which always appear where that religion gets foothold. It has marched across continets, and now proposes to set up its filthy and accursed banner in America, and what it has done in Turkey it would like to do for our nation. A religion that brutally treats womanhood ought never to be fostered in our country. But there never was a relegion so absurd or wicked that it did not get disciples, and there are enough fools in America to make a large discipleship of Mohammedanism. This corrupt religion has been making steady progress for hundreds of years,and notwithstanding all the splendid work done by the Jes«sups, and the Goddells, and the Blisses, and the Van Dykes, and the Posts, and the Misses Bowens, and the Misses Thompkins, and scores of other men and women of which the world was not worthy, there it stands, the giant of sin, Mohammedanism, with one foot

on the heart of woman, ana tne oiuer on the heart of Christ, while it mumbles from its minarets this stupendous blasphemy: “God is great, and Mohammed is His prophet. ” Let the Christian printing presses at Bey rout | and Constantinople keep on with their ! work, and the men and women of God in the mission fields toil until the Lord crowns them, but what we are all hoping for is something supernatural from the heavens, as yet unseen, something stretched down out of the skies, something like an arm uncovered, the bare arm of the God of nations! There stands also the arch demon of alcoholism. Its throne is white and made of bleached human skulls. On one side of that throne of skulls kneels, in obeisance and worship, democracy, and on' the other side republicanism, and the one that kisses the cancerous and gangrened foot of this despot the oftenest gets the most benedictions. There is a Hudson river, an Ohio, a Mississippi of strong drink rolling through this nation, but as the rivers from which I take my figure of speech empty into the Atlantic or the gnlf, this mightier flood of sickness and insanity, and domestic ruin, and crime, and bankruptcy, and woe, empties into the hearts, and the homes, and the churches, and the time and the eternity of a multitnde beyond all statistics to number dr describe. All nations are mauled and sacrificed with baleful stimulus or killing narcotic. The pnlqne of Mexico, the cashew ci Brazil, the hasheesh of Persia, the opium of China, the guavo of Honduras the wedro of Russia, the soma of India, the aguardiente of Morocco, the arak of" Arabia, the mastic of Syria, the raki of Turkey, the beer of Gernmny, the whisky of Scotland, the ale of England, the all-drinks of America, are doing their best to stupefy, inflame, dement, impoverish, brutalize slay the human race. Human power, unless re-enforced from the heavens, can perer exterpate the evils j I mention.

Much good has been accomplished by the heroism and fidelity of Christian reformers, but the fact remains that there are more splendid men and magnificent women this moment going over the Niagara abysm of inebriety than at any time since the first grape was turned into wine, and the first head of rye began to soak ha a brewery. When people touch this subject they are apt to give statistics as to how many• millions are in drunkards’ graves, or with quick tread marching on toward them. The land is full of talk of high tariff and low tariff, but what about the highest of all tariffs in this country, the tariff of nine hundred million dollars whieh rum put upon the Udited States in 1891, for that is what it cost us. * You do nut tremble oar turn pale when I say that. The fact is we have become hardened by statistics, and they make little impression. But if some one could gather into one mighty lake all of the tears that have been wrung out of orphanage and widowwood; or iuto one organ diapason all the groans that have been entered

by the suffering- victims of this holocaust; or into one whir-wind all the sighs of centuries of dissipation, or from the wicket of one immense' prison have look upon ns the glaring eyes of all those whom strong drink hat endungeoned, we might perhaps realize , tins appalling desolation. But no, no, i the sight would forever blast our viI sion; the sound would forever stnn our souls. Go on with your temperance literature; go on with your temper* an<» platforms; go on with your i*mperance laws. But we are all hoping for something from above, and while the bare arm of suffering, and the bare arm of invalidism, and the Ijore arm of poverty, and the bare arm of domestic desolation, from which rum hath torn the sleeve,are lifted up in beggary and supplication and despair, let the bare arm of God strike the bieweries, and the liquor stores, and the corrupt politics, and the license lnws, and the whole inferno of grog-shops all around the world. Down, thou accursed bottle, from the throne! Into the dust, thou king of the demijohn! Parched be thy lips, thou wine >;up, with fires that shall never be quenCjted. But I have no time to specify the manifold evils that challenge Christianity. i And I think' I have seen in some Christians, and read in some newspapers, and heard from some pulpit, a disheartenment, as though Christianity were so worsted that it iahud* ly worth while to attempt to win this world for God, and that all Christian work would collapse, and that it is no use for yon to teach a Sablmth class, or distribute tracts, or export prayer meetings, or preach in a pulpit, as Satan is gaining ground. To rebuke that pessimism, the gospel: of smashup, I preach this sermon, showing that yon are on the winning side. Go ahead! Fight on! What I want to make out to-day is that onr ammunition is not exhausted; that all which has - been accomplished has been only the skirmishing before the great Armageddon; that not more than one of the one thousand fountains of beauty in the King’s park has begun to play; that not more than one brigade of the innumerable hosts to be marshaled by the Rider cm the White Horse has yet taken the field; that what God has done yet has been with arm folded in flowing robe; but that, the time is, coming when He will rise from. His throne, and throw off that robe, and come out of the palaces of eternity, and come down the stabs of Heaven with all-conquering step, and halt in the presence of expectant nations, and flashing His omniscient eyes across the work to be done, will put back the sleeve of His right arid to the shoulder, and roll it up there, and for the world’s final and complete rescue make’ bare His arm. Who can doubt the result when, according to my text, Jehovah does His best; when the last reserve force of Omnipotence takes the field; when the last sword of eternal might leaps from its scahbbrd. Do you know wha t decided the battle of Sedan? The hills one thousand feet high. Eleven hundred cannon on the hills. Artil

lery on the heights of Givo®ne, and twelve German batteries on the heights of La Moncello. The Crown Prince of Saxony watched the scene from the heights of Mairy. Between a quarter to six o’clock in the morning1 and one o’clock in the afternoon of September 3, 1871, the hills dropped the shells that shattered the French host ilk the valley. The Freneh emperor and the eighty-six thousand of his army captured by the hills. So in this conflict now raging between holiness and sin “our eyes are unto the hills.” Down here in the valleys of earth we must be valiant soldiers of the cross, but the commander of our host walks the heights, and views the scene far better than, we can in the valleys, and ^t the right day and the right hdur wl Heaven will open its batteries on our side, and the commander of the hosts of unrighteousness with all his followers will surrender, and it will take eternity to fully celebrate the universal victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. “Our eyes are unto the Mils.” It is so certain to be accomplished that Isaiah in my text looks down through the field-glass of prophecy and speaks of it as already accomplished, and I take my stand where the prophet took his stand and look at it as all done. “Hallelujah, ’tis done.” See!. Those cities without a tear! Look! Those continents without a pang! Behold! Those hemispheres without a sin! Why, these daterts. Arabian desert, American desert and Great Sahara desert, are all irrigated into Irardens, where God walks in the cool of t^e day. The atmosphere that encircles our globe floating not one groan. All the rivers and lakes and oceans dimpled with not one falling tear. The climates of the earth have dropped Jmt of them the rigors of the cold and the blasts of the heat, and it is universal spring! Let ns change the old world’s name. Let it no more be called the earth, as when it was i*eeking with everything pestiferous and malevolent, searletedt with battlei fields and gashed with graves, but now so changed, so aromatic with gardens, and so resonant with song, and so rnbescent with beauty, let us csll it Immanuel’s Land, or Beulah, or Millennial Gardens, or Paradise regained, i or Heaven! And to God, the only Wise, the only Good, the poly Great, be glory forever. Amen.
