1t has been claimed that this action
was taken to head of the movement
to cut down the representation Of the
South. and this might have been a con-
tributory motive; but we believe that
on the abstract merits OF this question
alone, at this time, the result would
have been the same, and that the
Georgia house Of representatives, de-
serves credit for taking high ground
and deciding this very important ques-
ton In an honest, intelligent. and

this temptation has arisen above petty

war with Spain was declared that nearly
! 1000 Springfield rifles, the property of
the State, were delivered to the Federal
Government. and were sent to Cuba with
the United States volunteers. The TAX

none in the armory and it was imprac-
ticable to drill any new companies that
might be formed. The United States
Government will not return the guns
loaned, but instead will send new guns.

POURED fr ON THE GROUND.

him TO me alivej for men sny he is tho
bravest warrior in Persia, and / would
fain see him with my own eyes"
This sudden charge Of fresh and Wig
orous troops upon men exhausted with
long day Of hard fighting was quite
irresistible.
The Persians gave way on all sides;
the sacred standard OF the shah was
tramplcd In the dust and the few who
stlll stroye TO hold their ground were
overwhelmed by numbers.
The whole field was in whlrl Of flight
and pursuit, and only In one spot, where
n solitary clump Of palm trees broke tho
gray, unending level Of the boundless
plain, clamor Of shouts and clashing
weapons showed that resistance had
not yet wholly ceased.
Beneath those trees, with his back
against the largest trunk, stood tall,
noble-looking man, In the prime ofllfe,
with large black eyes, which flashed as
nercely as the sword that played like
lightning amid the wild faces and toss
ing arms Of his swarming enemies.
More than one broken arrow head was
sicking In his breast plate; the silver
buckler on his left arm was hacked and
dented, as IL by the blows Of sledge
hammer, his nrmor was dyed red with
more than one wound.
But he stlll held his ground unhinch-
,ingly, striking right and left with the
strength Of giant, and never once In
vain.
Bat such fight was too unequal to
last. The brave mans arm began TO
wax weary, his strength to fail. Closer
and closer to him CLEANED the mcrcileAs
spear heads. and In another momen.
nll would have been over, when sudden
ly powerful voice broke through the
din OF the fray:

struggles, he was overpowered by num-
bers, and securely bound. But TO all
the taunts OF his captors he deigned not
a word of reply. and maintained the
same stern silence, even when he was
dragged into the presence of the caliph
himself.
As he listened to the recital OF his
prisoners exploits, Omar eyed him with
a look Of grim approval; and the cap
tive, in his turn, surveyed with equal
admiration this prince Of the desert
who, master as he was, of nine powerful
kingdoms, was sitting cross-legged up
on the bare ground. in a rough cloak of
camel's hair, and supping on handful
of dates and parched corn.
"Knowest thou" said Omar, at
length, with a stern look, what fate
awaits him who hath shed the blood Of
the faithful|'

swered the prisoner. 81 am in thy pow

awaits me be what it may, it is all one

Omar's eyes sparkled; for, brave as a
lion himself, be loved nothing better
than a brave man. whether friend or
foe
"Mcthinks there is but one man in
Persian host who could speak to me so"
cried he. "Art thou Harmosan, the
satrap of Yezd?"
~ am" replied the Persian, drawing
himself up proudly. II would not tell
nv name in the battle, lest il should
seem that I did so because thou hadst
bidden thy men spare me, but it mat
ters little who knows ii now. am Har-
mosan, the soldier of Persia, and thine
cnemy!"
Even the fierce Arabs around him
smiled approvingly at the fearless
words, and more than one voice was
heard to mutter:
"This is a bold fellow, and worthy to
be one Of the faithful Pity that he
must diet"
persian" said Omar ~ may not give
thee thy life; but to show how the
prophets followers honor courage, any
other request thou canst make is
granted before 1t is uttered!"
GIVE me cup OF water, tnen, hu-
swered Harmosan; "for since this day s
fight began, my thirst hast not been
quenched."
Omar nodded, and a black slave
brought forward a large silver cup,
filled to the brim with clear, sparkling
water; but, instead of drinking, the
prisoner held it doubtfully in his hand.
"What now, friend?" cried the caliph,
impatiently. "If thou fearest treach-
cry, be easy; for pledge thee my word
that none shall harm thee till thou hast
drank that water"
Quick as lightning, Harmosan dashed
the cup to the ground and said, with
mocking smile
'Bid thy men, then, gather up that
water from the sand; for, by thine own
pledge I am safe till drink It'll"
There was a moment OF amazed 81
Ience, and then the outwitted Arabs
rushed at him with n savage yell; but
high above the uproar was heard the
commanding voice Of Omar:
az caliph's word Is sacred, my chill
dren. Bring the brave Persian another

| drink and die, so now l bid him drink
