A WAR REMINISCENCE.

CHARLESTON, S. G., June 19.-WaSh
ir ct IN Post: When Colonel John @.
Haskell took the lamented Editor Daw
sons place on the National Democratic
Committee the other day many strangers
DO doubt wondered how ard when he
had lost his right arm. This is how it
happeued:
A blazing June day in 1862 was draw
ing to its close when General Longstreet
sent an order to General r. Ell. Ander
on's brigade to move forward. The
learer of the message was the gallant
Colonel Haskell, who rode in hot haste
TO the front, where he found the line
broken and the men scattered. He took
a stand Of colors in his hand, rallied
about 200 soldiers, and advanced with
them to within fifty yards of the enemy's
breast works. A rain of shot and shell
flew abont the little band. Haskel's
little finger was broken by fragment of
a bomb, and his horse was shot and fell
on his knees. With a mighty effort the
fearless rider pulled his horse up and
spnrred him onward. The noble
animal dashed right into the midst of a
group of Federais and fell dead, pinning
the Colonel's foot to the ground.
'I'll finish him." shouted Federal
captain.
1t took some time for Haskell to free
himself. aud the Captain made dash AT
him and tried to seize the colors IN the
unlucky Confederate's left hand. But
the man in gray has sword swung to
his wrist by knot, and g-asping it, he
made furious lunges at the Federal. The
Captain drew bis pistol. Bang! The
bullet struck a star from the collar OF
Haskell's coat The Federal continued
to reach for the colors with one hand and
bang away with the pistol in the other,
riddling bis enemy's uniform and tearing
up the dust. Finally Haskell freed him
self from his horse and struck his assail-
ant tremendous blow on the head,
bringing him on his knees. The FEEDER
al Captain was game to the backbone.
He turned about and leveled his pistol
again. Quick work was needed. Has
kell ran his sword through the man, and
when be drew the dripping blade out of
the quiveriug flesh the Captain was
giving bis last gasp.
Then the Confederate rushed over to
the left and found his men again in front
of "a gun battery that was moving
them down. Waving his colors he raj
lied the soldiers and led them forward
in charge of Hoods brigade. Almost at
the very mouth of a cannon Haskell fell,
his right arm torn into shreds, but the
brave fellow still held the colors. The
exhausted Colonel remained where he
fell until night. He was recognized by
General Whiting and sent TO the field
hospital. A day or two Letter his arm was
amputated.

The Siamese Girl.

The Siamese girls have beautiful
eyes. and the plump olive checks of
maidens Of ID would be very attract
i've were it not for the betel. The
eyes are black, lustrous, and full of
soul. They are friendly set. too,
and they do not shrug their rosy un-
covered shoulders nor attempt to pull
down their ballet-girl costume in the
presence of the men. Many of them
are peddlers in this city of Canas, and
they sit in these long. narrow, canoe
like boats and paddle along their
wares from house to house. They
seem to be the managers of the stores
and these river shops of Bangkok are
out of the water and the maiden store
keeper squats down on the floor with
her goods all around her and with her
betel box and tobacco beside her. Her
husband is usually lying in back room
or loating. Her stock is very small
and there is nothing for the foreigner
to buy. The wants of the people are
few. Siamese washing takes neither
soap nor starch, and vegetables and
rice consti tute the most of the food OF
the people. When they wanta dainty
they take little raw, rotten fish and
mix it with their curry, and the ma
ioritv of them do not know what meat

The Largest Ruby in the World.

1 had an opportunity a day or two
ago Of examining wonderful ruby
which well-known Bond street jew
eler has on view. Quite romantic
history is attached to the discovery of
the stone, which lay hidden for a pro-
digious number of years among the
household goods of Burmese poten-
tate, who was, however, sufficiently
alive to the exigencies and shifts of
modern tastes to put an enormous
price on his treasure. He is quite right,
of course, for the stone is said to be in
many respects the most important
ruby in the world. In its present con-
dition it measures an inch in length
and three-quarters of an inch in width,
and weighs "a carats. Before it passed
through the lapidary's hands it was
very much larger, and it was with
something of pang that orders were
given for the reduction in weight. AS
it is, it remains one of the largest
rubies in the world, and in respect of
briliiancy and purity of color it is al
most matchless. London Letter IN Bir-

INCOMES OF RULERS.
The Shah OF Persia Leads. with a Salary
of $50, ,OOO,O 900 Year.

The sole income of the President of
the United States from the public
treasury is his salary of $50. 900 a year.
He draws it at a rate Of 81, 166. IS
month. This is fraction more than
1860 week and $3.50 each for six
working days. Until Grants time the
presidents lived on half this salary,
says the Boston Globe. Experience
has shown that the present sum is
large enough to cover the expenses of
the most extrayagant households and
to leave comfortable balance in the
purse of the presidential family of
moderate ideas. Yet there is not
another magistrate at the head of any
people exceeding the number of ten
million who does not receive larger
salary than the august. potent and
toiling President of the United States.
The Shah of Persia, who has moth
ing TO do except to boss several hum
dred wives. is in the enjoyment of an
income of $30,000,000 year. Then
there is the Gar of Russia, whose
chief duty is to keep from being blown
up. He is paid something like $l0,-
600, ,00O yearly. The dignitied King of
Siam gets along on a like sum. The
royal family of poor, miserable Spain
receives $3,900,Q00 every year and
Italians sleep out of doors and eat
nothing but maccaroni to make up
purse of 3,000,0 900 and more for their
royalties. Such figures as these con-
sole the British people somewhat for
their annual outlay under specific laws
of $2,915,0 900 on Victoria and her fam
lily, 10 say nothing of indirect extor-
tions and perquisites.
That reformed pirate of the seas,
the Sultan of Morocco, is slightly COM
pensated for his self-denial by an an
nual allowance of $2,500.000 and the
Mikado of Japan receives $780, 900.
The Khedive of Egypt draws s1,575,-
900 from the substance of that tax rid
den land, while the. Hohenzollerns
content themselves with a yearly tri-
bTse of 81, l25, 600 from the Prussian
el&)ire. Even the sultan of cotton
clouted Zanzibar pockets $1,000,000 a
year and 100000 are wrung from the
Sa1ons and Saxony, no more consider
able community than Illinois in popu-
lation or Massachusetts in geographi-
cal area, by the reigning monarch.
Portugal, Sweden and Brazil each
spend about $500, 200 on their king.
The republic of France allows her
chief magistrate only 5000, 900, but lit
tie Hayti gives her president $240,0 900
year. Switzerland's president comes
the lowest of all the rulers of the
earth. Her salary is 5000 year.

Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Here is woman's idea of Mr.. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, She saw him the
day before his departure to Europe.
..I1e is" she declared to New York
Sun reporter, "by far the best-looking
and best-dressed of our millionaires.
This young man is decidedly attract
i've to the eve. He is of excellent
height and figure, and his clothes,
while never foppish, are immaculate.
and exhibit plainly the work of as good
a tailor as can be found in New York.
AT the theater Mr.. Vanderbilt is in
variably in perfect evening dress, and
the effect of cleanness that he always
produces is truly noticeable. don't
suppose there is better groomed
man in the city. His firm, solid chin
and mouth always have the newly
shaved look of a gentleman of leisure,
his tiny whisRers just in front of his
ears are trimmed with exquisite exact
ness, his linen is like snow, and his
patent leather shoes look as though
they had never been worn before. Mr..
Vanderbilt has the face of a thoroughly
trustworthy and shrewd man of bust
ness. The forehead is broad and
smooth, the eyes kindle with pro-
nounced intelligence of expression.
The mouth is set with the gentle
strength of man accustomed to rule
and to succeed. He inherits all that
shrewd and courageous brightness of
visage that you can find in portrait
of the old commodore. | never see
Cornelius Vanderbilt but what l ap-
I,
rich. 1t does not bewilder him or
dazzle him. Any man with his per-
sonal appearance must perforce be
at least sensible and decent. / have
seen such faces in serious and indus
trious physicians, lawyers and minis
ters. l never saw man with such a
face who was not to a great degree
successful in n worldly way. Serious,
courtIy, well-dressed, clean and solidly
handsome, this is Cornelius Wander
bilt, still young. but with well-grown
family and millions of dollars"
