FIRST STEP TAKEN. thm Attorney General Directed to Basin Proceedings it tfc. c. After rint IkttaK the 1 M.U fOMlbli for the Protection mu*» Iot.ro. to W▲SB1K6TOX, Jan. 23.—The follow* fi^iUtement was given to the United Associated Presses bj Attorney General Barman yesterday evening: “Upon the defeat of the funding bill ha the uouse, the president directed the attorney general to commence foreclosure proceedings against the Union Pacific Railway Co., first making the best arrangements obtainable for the protection of the government's interests. Following the lines indisated in his last report, the attorney general began negotiations with the reorganization committee. On Thurstay an agreement was made which will result in immediate steps to foreclose. The chief subjects of the negotiations was the protection nf the government against the risk of sacrifice of its claim by a sale at a price which would leave nothing substantial after paying prior liens. This protection is now assured by a guarantee that the government shall receive on its lien an the aided portions of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific lines, including the sinking fund, not less than J45.7M.uoO. The sate will be public, so that the government will receive the benefit of any higher .bids up to the full amount of its claim, principal and interest. The sum of $4,500,000cash was on Thursday deposited with the United States Trust Co. of New York by Gen. Lonis Fitzgerald, chairman of the committee, as security according to the terms of the agreement. The committee agreeio bid par for the sinking fund if it is desired to sell It at any time before the foreclosure sale. Choses in equity have been prepared, signed by the attorney general j aud Hon. Geo. iloadiy, special counsel, and forwarded to Si. Louis, where they will be presented to Judge Sanborn, who hss jurisdiction in ail the districts and w hose consent to their filing is necessary because the receivers in charge of the property are made parties defendant. They are original bills and not cross bills in the pending suits. Whether they will proceed as independent bills or be ordered to stand as crossbills m the pending suits will be de- : ter mined by the judge, but in either event the result will be practically the same—viz.: The sate of the property! uuder the government's lien, as yell as under that of the first mortgage. The bills will be filed in the districts of Iowa. Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Separate bills for the foreclosure of the lieu on the Kansas Pacific are in the course of prepsration. These will be filed in Missouri and Kansas. The arrangement was submitted to the government directors before it j was closed. They all recommended ; its adoption. Their general opinion was thus expressed: “The govern- j meat can not prudently longer defet the settlement of this matter. The Union Pacific system has already been much curtailed and its revenues have been permanently reduced. Reorganisations of allied and neighboring properties have either been accom piished or are in train for early con summation and the breaking up of the I entire Union Pacific system has bees ; and is steadily progressing. It therefore seems to us inexpedient, if not • dangerous, to neglect this opportunity j of realizing the sum offered and thus expose the government to a . continuous depreciation of its security.” It is believed that there will be higher bids, but, if not, an estimate shows that, crediting amounts already received from the company, the ; government will at least realise a sum equivalent to the principal of the sub- j aldy bonds with interest at about 3>4 per cent, from their issue to the average date of their maturity, or abont : 3.45 per cent, from date of issue to ] January 1, ls»7. The minimum ol; f45.7M.000 guaranteed the government ; is in cash, so that all relations with | the property will terminate upon the i confirmation 61 the foreclosure ant ; aale of the property. The course to be pursued with respect to the Central Pacific has no yet "been determined.

Kit York, Jan. 33.—IL <L Dun A Co. aaj in their weekly review ofjtrade. There is more business, though not at better prices. It is interesting that almost all prices which change at all are lower than a week ago,and yet business is unquestionably larger. There U larger production, but as yet not as much increase in consumption, and there is larger buying of materials, but at present only because better prices are expected in the future. A few conspicuous failures during the week have had no material influence. The market for securities is slightly stronger, and yet there is very little doing. The number of hands cm- j ployed, all industries considered, is j slightly larger than a week ago, with- j out adverse change in the rate of i wages. All apprehension of foreign dis- j tur bance of money markets has passed away, but there is still great j caution in making ioana It is a mis- \ take to reckon these as symptoms of j depression. On the contrary, in spite j of the lower range of prices iu important industries, the couditious all j indicate larger production and a con- > sumption increasing, not as yet largely, but steadily. The earnings of railroads in Janu- | ary have been t4 per cent, • mallei than last year. Wheat, corn and cotton exports are | the key of the financial situation, and during the last week wheat has be- f dined three-ei.hths and corn five-1 eighths of a cent, while cotton is unchanged. The western receipts of • wheat are still small, 581,000 bushel* less than a year ago, and for three weeks of January 4,519,719 bushels, against 7,<QA0T9 last year; but the Atlantic exports, flour included, were 1,534.715 bushels for the week, agaiust 3,366,457 last year, and in three weeks of January have been 5,019,032 bushels, against, 6,639,648 last year. The woolen industry is as slow as j ever, and no real improvement appears iu the demand for goods, although, owing to the lateness of the season, there is little more doing, both 1 in spring and winter goods, without quotable change iu prices The heavy buying of wool mentioned last week has continued, and is understood tel be in anticipation of expected duties, the sales at boston alone having amouuted to 11,650,000 pounds. Quo- 3' tations have not changed as yet, although western holders are quite stiff. In the minor metals a stronger tone is general. The iron industry is engaged in settling relative prices, and the slow operation retards business in many brauches, since the future of prices is uncertain. Bessemer pig is a trifle lower at $10.40 at Pittsburgh, and gray forge at $9.40, though no further decliue has occurred in east- j ern markets, or at Chicago. But the competition of new concerns tetppted to manufacture nails by the high prices recently maintained, causes slightly lower sales of wire nails at $1.35, and of cut nails at $1.25. The bar association has been in ses- j •ion to consider the reduction of steel | bars to one cent, and in large con- j tracts even lower, aud the billet association has again been called together to meet on the 39th although there is j bo prospect of its reorganisation, and j billets are selling at 15.25 at Pittsburgh. The increase in manufacturing is perhaps more definitely shown than in any other way by the production of coke, which steadily increases, 9,181 ovens being in blast, against 8,173 idle, and the week's output 100,386 tons, is over double the output of October. Failures for the week have been 409 in the United States, against 373 last year, and 65 in Canada, against 61 last rears.

TALMAGE’S SEEMON. Discourse Upon tbe Subject of Heavenly Recognition. Amuum Tkai W« SUj OMtMd Km* LoTMlOiiMta th* QimI Be)oa<L Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage delivered the following sermon on the subject of •‘'Heavenly Recognition,’* basing it upon the text: 1 shall co to Him. -IL Samuel, ziL. 23, There is a very sick child in the abode of David, the king. Disease, which stalks up the dark lane of the poor and puts its smothering hand on lip and nostril of the wan and wasted, also mounts the palace stairs, and, bending over the pillow, blows into the face of a young prince tbe frosts of pain and death. Tears are n ine to the King ot Terrors. Alas! for David, the king. He can neither sleep nor eat, and lies prostrate on his face, weeping and wailing until the palace rings with the outcry of woe. What are courtly attendants, or victorious armies, or conquered provinces, uuder 6ueh circumstances? What to any parent is all splendid surrounding when his child is sick? Seven days have passed on. There in that great house two eyelids are gently closed, two little hands folded, two little feet quiet, one heart still. The servants come to bear the tidings to the king, but they can not make up their minds to tell him, and they stand at the door, whispering about the matter, and David hears them an«j he lookA up and says to them: “Is the child dead?” “Yes, he is dead.” David rouses himself up, washes himself, puts on new apparel and sits down to food. W’hat power hushed that tempest? What strength was it that lifted up that king whom grief had dethroned? Oh, it was the thought that he would come again into the possion of that darling child. No gravedigger’s spade could hide him. Tbe wintry blasts of death could not put out the bright light. There would be a forge somewhere that with silver hammer would weld the broken links In a city where tbe hoofs of the pale horse never strike the pavemeut he would clasp his lost treasure. He wipes away the tears lrom his eyes, and he clears the choking grief from his throat, and exclaims: 'Twill go to

Was David right or wrong? If we part on earth, will we meet again in the next world? “Well,” says some one, “that seems to be an impossibil* ity. Heaven is so large a place we never could hud our kindred there.” Going into seme city, without having appointed a time and place for meeting, you might wander around for weeks and for months, and perhaps for years, and never see each other; and Heaven is vaster than ail earthly cities together, and how are you going to hud your departed friend in that Country? It is so vast a realm. John went up on one mountain of inspiration, and he looked off upon the multitude, and he said: '' Thousands of thousands.” Then he came upon a greater altitude of inspiration and looked off upon it again, and he said, “Ten thousands times ten thousand.” And then he came on a higher mount ef inspiration, and looked off again and he said: “A hundred aud forty and four thousand and thousands of thousands.” And he came on a still greater height of inspiration, and he looked off again, and exclaimed: “A great multitude that no man can number.” Now 1 ask, how are you going to find your friends in such a throng as that? Is not this idea we have been entertaining after ail a falsity? Is this doctrine of future recognition of friends in Heaven a guess, a myth, a whim, or is it a gigantic foundation upon which the soul pierced of all ages may build a glorious hope? Intense question! Lvery heart in this audience throbs right into it There is in every soul here the tomb of at least one dead. Tremendous question! It makes the lip quiver, and the cheek flush, and the entire nature thrill: bhail we know each other there? I get letters almost every month asking me to discuss this subject 1 get a letter in a bold, scholarly hand, on giltsdged paper, asking me to discuss this question, and 1 say: “Ah! that is a | curious man, and he wants a carious question solved.” Bat 1 get another letter. It is written with a trembling hand, and on what seems to be a torn out leaf of a book, and there and here is the mark of a tear; and 1 say: “Oh, that is a broken heart and it wants to be comforted.” The object of this sermon is to take | this theory oat of the reign of surmise 1 and speculation into the reign of positive certainly. People say: “It would be very pleasant if that doctrine were true. 1 hope it may be true.” But 1 believe that 1 can bring an accumulation of argument to bear upon this matter which will prove the doctrine of future recognition aaplainly aathat there is any Heaven nt all, and that the-4iiaa of reunion nt the Celestial | gate will be as certain as the dying | kiss at the door of the sepuleher. What does my text imply? “1 shall go to him.” What consolation would it be to David to go to his child if he would not know him? Would David i have been allowed to record this an- ; ticipatiqn for the inspection of all j ages if it were a groundless anticipation? We read in the first book of the Bible, Abraham died and was gathered to his people. Jacob died and was gathered to his people. Moses died and was gathered to his people What people? Why, their friends, their comrades, their old companions. Of coarse it means that. It can not mean anything else So in the very beginning of the Bible four times that is taken for granted. The whole Mew Testament is an arbor over which this doctrine creeps like n luxuriant tine tell of the purple clusters of consolation. Junes, Mha and Fatar followed Christ Into

the mountain. A light falls from Hearea on that mountain and lifts It into the celestial. Christ's garments glow and His face shines like the sun. The door of Heaven swinge open. Two spirits come down and alight on the mountain. The disciples look at them and recognise, them as Moses and E)»»% ‘Now, if those disciples standing on the earth could recognise these two spirits who had heen for years in Heaven, do you tell me that we, with our heavenly eyesight, will not be able to recognize those who have gone oat ^om among us only five, ten, twenty, thirty years ago? The Bible indicates, over and over again, that the angels know each other; and then the Bible says that we are to be higher than the angels, and if the angeis hare the power of recognition, shall not we,who are to be higher than> they in the next realm, have as good eyesight and'as good capacity? What did Christ mean, in His coniversation with Mary and Martha.whep He said; “Thy brother shall rise again?” It was as much as to say: “Don’t cry. Don’t wear ydurself out with this trouble. You will see him again. Thy brother shall rise again.” The Bible describes Heaven as a great home eireie. Well, now, that would be a very queer home circle where the members did not know each other. The Bible describes death as sleeps If we know each other before we go to sleep, shall we not know each other after we wake up? Ob, yes. We will know each other a great deal better then than now; ^‘for now,” says! the apostle, “we see through a glass dhrkly, but then face to face. It will be my purified, enthroned and glorified body gazing on your purified, enthroned and glorified body. Now, I demand, if you believe the Bible, that yon take this theory otf future recognition oat of the realm of speculation and surmise into the region of positive certainty, and no more keep saying: “I hope it is so; 1 have no idea it is so; 1 guess it is| so.” Be able to say, with all the concentrated energy of body, mind and soul: “I know it is so!” There are, in addition to these Bible arguments, other reasons, why £ accept this theory. In the first plaee, because the rejection memory. Cau it be possible that we shall forget forever those with whose walk, look, manner we have been so long familiar? Will death come, and with a sharp, keen blade hew away this faculty of memory? Abraham said to Dives: “bon, remember.” If the exited' and the lost remember, will not the enthroned remember? l-.... i tk.t -si—

any circumstance is augmented by the companionship of our friends. Wpcan not see a picture with less than four eyes, or hear a song with less than four ears. We want some one besides us with whom to exchange glances and sympathies; and 1 suppose the joy of Heaven is to be augment by the fact that we are to hare our friends with us when there rise before us the thrones of the blessed and when there surges' up in our ear the jubilate of the saved. Heaven is not a contraction. It is an expansion! If 1 know you here, 1 will know you better there. Here I see you with only two eyes, but there the soul shall have a million eyes. It will be immortality gazing on immortality—ransomed spirit in colloquy with ransomed spirit —victor beside victor. When John Evans, the Scotch minister, was seated in his study, his wife came in and said to him; “My dear, do you think we will know each other in Heaven?’* He turned to her and said: “M3' dear, do you think we will be bigger fools in Heaven than we are here?” Again, 1 accept this doctrine of future recognition because of the world’s expectancy affirms it. In all lands and ages this theory is received. What form of religion planted it? No form of religion, for it is received under all forms of religion. Then, 1 argue, a sentiment, a feeling, an anticipation, universally planted, must have been God-implanted, and if God-implanted it is rightfully implanted. Socrates writes: “Who would not part with a great deal to purchase a meeting with Orpheus and Homer? If it be true that this is to be the consequence of death, I could even be able to die often.” Again, I adopt this theory because there are features of moral temperament and features of the soul that will distinguish us forever. How do wc know each other in this world? Is it merely by the color of the eye, or th« length of the hair, or the facial proportions? Oh, no. It is by the disposition as well, by natural affinity, using the word in the very best sense and not in the bad sense; and if hi the dust our body should perish and lie there forever, and there should be nc resurrection, still the soul has enough featuresand the disposition has enough features to make us distinguishable. 1 can understand how in sickness a man will become so delirious that he will not know his own friends; but will we be blasted with suck insufferable idiocy that, standing beside our best friends for all eternity, we will nevei guess who they are? Again, I think that one reason whj we ought to accept this doctrine is be cause we never in this world have an opportunity to give thanks to those to whom we are spiritually indebted The joy of Heaven, we are told, is to be inaugurated by a review of iife’i work. These Christian men and worn en who have been toiling for Christ have they seen the full result of theii work? Oh, no. There is a mother before the throne of God. You say her joy is fuU. Is it' [ Yon say there can be no augmentation ! of it. Gan not there be? Her son wai I a wanderer end a vagabond on the | earth when that mother died. He | broke her old heart. She died leavI ing hiss in the wilderness of sin. She is before the throne of God now. Yean pass that son repents of his crimes and gives his heart to God and become! a useful Christina, and dies and eaten the gates of Heaven. You tell methal that mother’s Joy can not be augment od. lent them confront each other, .

the son and the mother. “Oh,* she says to the angels of God, “rejoice with me! The dead is alive again, and the lost is found. Hallelujah! I never expected to see this lost one come back.* The Bible says nations are to be born in a day. When China comes to God will it not know Dr. Abeel? When India comes will it not know Dr. John Scndder? When the Indians come to God will they not know David Brainerd? I see a soul entering Heaven at last, with covered face at the idea that it has done so little for Christ, and feeling borne down with unworthiness,, and it says to itself: “I have no right to be here.” A voice from a throne says: “Oh, you forgot that Sunday-school class you invited to Christ! I was one : of them.” And another voice says: “You forget that poor old man to j whom you gave a loaf of bread, and told of the Heavenly bread. 1 was that man.” And another says: “You j forget that sick one to whom.you gave medicine for the body and the soul. I was that one.” And then Christ, from j a throne overtopping all the rest, will j say: “Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, you did it to Me.” ; And then the seraphs will take their harps from the side of the throne, and cry: “What song shall it be?” And Christ, bending over the harpers, shall say: “It si all be the ‘Harvest Homef* Oh, hr e you never sat by such a : deathbec * In that hour ye a hear the I departing soul cry: “Hark! iook!” You j hearkened and you looked. A little ; child pining away because of the death ! of its mother, getting weaker anil [ weaker every day, was taken into the room where hung the picture of her j mother. She seemed to enjoy looking J at it, and then she was taken away, and after awhile died, and the last j moment the wan and wasted little one lifted her bands, while her face lighted j up with the glory of the next world, j and cried out: “Mother!” Do yon tell me she did not see her mother? She did. So in my first settlement at Belleville a plain man said to me: “What do you think 1 heard last night? 1 was in the room where one of my neighbors was dying. He was a good man, and he said he heard the angels of God singing before the throne. I ! haven't much poetry about me, but I I ! listened and I heard them, too.” Said j • I: “I have no doubt of it.” Why, we j are to be taken up to Heaven at last j by ministering spirits. Who are they ! to be? Souls that went up from . Madras, or Antioch, or Jerusalem? Oh, ; no! our glorified kindred are going to | troop around us.

Heaven is not a stately, formal place, j as 1 sometimes hear it described, a very frigidity of splendor, whose people ! stand oa cold formalities and go around j with heavy crowns of gold on their | heads. No, that is not my idea of Heaven. My idea of Heaven is more ‘ like this: Yon are seated in the even-ing-tide by the fireplace; your whole j family there, or nearly all of them there. While you are seated talking and enjoying the evening j hour, there is a knock at the j door and the door opens, and there comes m a brother that has been long absent. He has been absent, for years you have not seen him. and no sooner do yon make up your mind that it is certainly he than you leap up, and the question is who shall give him the first embrace. That is my idea of Heaven—a great home circle where they are wait* ing for us. Oh, will you not know your mother's voice there? She who always called von by your first name long after others had given you the formal “Mister?” You were never anything but James, or John, or George, or Thomas, or Mary, or Florence, to her. Will you not know your child's voice? She of the „ bright eye and the ruddy cheek, and the quiet step, who came in from play and flung herself into your lap, a very shower of mirth and beauty? Why, the picture is graven on your souL It can not wear out. If that little one should stand on the other side of some heavenly hill and call to you, you would hear her voice above the burstsof Heaven’s gr eat orchestra. Know it! You could not* help but know it. O Heaven! sweet Heaven! You do not spell Heaven as you used to spell it, H-e-a-v-e-n. Heaven. But now when you punt to spell that *vord you place side by side the faces of the loved ones who are gone, and in that irradiation of light and love, and beauty and joy, you spell it out as never before, in songs and hallelujahs. Oh, ye, whose hearts are down under the sod of the cemetery, cheer up at the thought of this reunion. Oh, how much you wiU have to tell them when once you meet them. Ohi how different It is on earth from the way it is in Heaven when a Chris* »ian dies! We say: “Close his eyes.” In Heaven they say: “Give him a palm.’* On earth we say: “Let him down in the ground.** In Heaven they say: “Hoist him on a throne.** On earth it is: “Farewell, farewell.” In Heaven it is: “Welcome, welcome.” And so I see a Christian soul coming down to the river of death, and he steps into the river, and the water comes up to the ankle. He says: “Lord Jesus, is this death?” “No,” says Christ, “this is not death.” And he wades stiU deeper down into the waters until the flood comes to the knee, and he says: “Lord Jesus, tell me, tell me, is this death?” And Christ says: “No, no. this is not death.** And he wades still further down until the wave comes to . the girdle, and the soul says: “Lord Jesus, is this death?” “No,” says Christ, “this is not.” And deeper in wades the , soul till the billow strikes the lip. and the departing one cries: “Lord Jesus, is this death?**. “No,” says Christ, ’ “this is not.” But when Christ had , lifted this soul on a throne of glory, and all the pomp and joy of Heaven . came surging to its feet, then Christ said: “This, oh transported soul! this ; u death P*
