THAT SENATE EPISODE.
Believed That Senator Harris VIII Apollo
gize to senator sanders.


gize to senator Sanders.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The outcome Of
the exciting episode in the Senate Satur-
day is awaited with considerable concern,
and the unfortunate occurrence is
very general topic of discussion
and regret among Senators. Opinions
were expressed by several of the South
ern Senators that Senator Harris, whose
fiery temperament was admitted, would
apologize TO Senator Sanders.
Only part of the exciting affair will ap-
pear in the official report of the Senate
and that part, without explanation, will
not be understood except by Senators and
others who witnessed the scene.
Just before the Senate went into Execu-
tive session the veteran Senator and ex-
Governor from Tennessee, Mr.. Isham G.
Harris, closed a personal explanation with
these words:
"Under these circumstances, Mr.. Presi-
dent, used language more vigorous, per-
haps, than l should have done, but these
are the facts"
The g facts win appear in the report of
the Senator's remarks; the language
will not.
The unreported language was addressed
to Senator Sanders Of Montana, and was
several times audibly repeated on the floor
Of the Senate though not in the public de
bate, and consisted in calling that Senator
a. - scOundrel."

REV. Pow1oK, s SERMON.

An Interesting Discourse in the Method
ist Episcopal Church.
The sermon at the Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday evening was from
Psalm 50-23: Whose offereth praise
glorifeth God, and to him that ordereth his
conversation Alright will 1 show the saliva
tion of God" This Psalm shows the
vanity of heartless service 1t teaches us
that God desires our loving obedience rather
than our sacrifices; it shows that grateful
praise and contrite tears are infinitely more
prec Gus in the sight of God than
slaughtered hecatombs or mountains OF
gold.
One might have supposed that one so
high and lofty, so pure and holy, would be
Indifferent to mans praises. Some vain
and foolish people affect to be insensble to
either the praise or blame of their fellows
as though such thing were possible-but
not so with God He goes so far in con
descending love as to assure us that whose
offereth praise glorifeth God" We often
estimate the value of praise by the rank
of him who bestows it but the great God is
glorfed by the praise of the "Whoso
evers.n Perhaps the reason is because
their praise implies their sensibiliiy to his
goodness. 1t shows they are not living in
forgetfulness of God. 1t lifts them out of
that most offensive class of sinners, in The
sight of God, the thoughtiess ingrates l.
also involves the idea of their sense of uu-
worthyness to receive. the mercies for
which they offer praise
The word praise in this passage also
implies confession as though the coutrile
suppliant at the throne OF grace blend
thanksgiving and confession with his plea
for pardoning mercy-w,th such sacrifices
God is well pleased. Such sacrifices raturp
in blessing to the deyout worshipper.
They prepare the way for the exhibition to
him Of the salvation of God No one csn
'order his conversation aright' and leave
out of the account his obligation to God.
And after all that he can do he sti ! needs
"tha salvation Of God"

that together they will meet the Lord in

According to our way OF looking al this

heaven will be located in ,he air.
After that 1000 years has expired the
"City of God' will descend in its entirety
and henoeforth be located on the oartb;

Rroom-Corn and How to Cure H.
Mrtr,pr q.


To HE Editor Of The DisDGfch
Please inform me how TO prepare broom
corn for market. and obllge, W. Is. Nj.
Broom-corn should be cut while in the
green state. as when it ripens 1t becomes
red, and then it is of very little value to
the manufacturers. Care should be taken
TO harvest it before the seed mature, ana
special care that it does not become wet
before being put under cover
The usual mode of harvesting broom
corn is TO take two rows as they stand IN
the field and bend the stalks about - or
3 feet from the ground, bending the right
hand row to the left. and the LETT hand
row to the right, at about an angle OF ~
degrees. thus forming tables.
Tables being thus formed the tassels or
brushes should be put on the edges Of the
tables. and the harvester can then go
along with sharp knife and cut of the
brush. but he should be very careful TO
place the stub ends all the same way. The
cut crop should DO thrown on the tables
10 DRY as long as the weather permits, but
should the rain catch it in this state II Is
likely t. turn red. 1t should be taken to
a well-covered shed. open on all sides,
similar to those used in curing tobacco.
The shed should be shelved of with mar
row strips similar to tobacco-sticks)
about inches apart, and one above the
other. and the corn then spread on these
shelves until it is thoroughly dry. This
can be determined by Swapping the stalk.
When thoroughly dry the strips should
be pulled out from the sides. aud they
will drop the corn to the ground. This IS
called bulking down."
The corn is then ready to be baled, in
which shape it con be sent TO market.

A Grammatical Question.

RoBERrsoN's, BEDFORD COUNTY, VA.
To ne Editor Of he Dispd,ch:
Re pleased to aDalyze the following SEN
tenco: g..
" The Captain of the Fulton's wife
died YESTERDAY"
Tell the subject. predicate, and object ;
how modified, dc.
The sentence will be found IN Hnrvey's
Practical English Grammar (reyised), page
81. Rem 3.
Il you agree with Harvey, then construe
the following;
The owner of Otter's Peak died yester-
day,
The captain of the Fulton's wife died
yesterday" The captain of the Futon's
wife is the logical subject. There is no
active verb in the sentence, and so there
is no object governed by a verb. The
predicate IS to be found in the words
"died yesterday"
1.-The owner of Offers Peak died yes
terday.' THE owner of Offers Peak
is the subject died Yesterday" IS the
predicate. Asabove, there Is no objective
case due to an active verb.
The proposition "of" Is q wonderful
word.

garb-short corduroy trousers and
