some OF his baggage wagons had to be

WHO BURNED COLUMBIAY
An Augustan Talks About tho Matter.
From the augusta (Ga.) Herald.

From The Au0psta (Ga.) Herald.
James Robson resides at lO2 Telfair
street, Augusta. He is CaroHnian and his
former home was in Columbia. He has
passed the Cougar mark. He is not thor
oughly educated, but is a man OF remark
able brightness
Mr.. Robson was the only police officer on
duty when the union army entered Colum-
bia. He talks very entertainingly about
that event. The entry of the troops, he
SAYS, was a time of dread and despair TO the
Columbians. AL sorts of things had been
predicted. and many people believed that
they we're going to be butchered in their
homes
Il want to tell you something about the
burning Of Columbia" said MIR. Robson to
a Herald reporter, something about tho
burning Of the place.
wv hen the yankees came in l was the
only public officer on duty. The then
mayor sent for me and ordered that l sum
mon the town council to meet at the proper
place. This did and the municipality was
formally turned over to the victorious
soldiers.
Il was then directed to take possession Of
the Keys of the Jail and to await the pleas
ure at the lookup OF the union officer that
would call on me. Il little later an officer
came to me aud took the keys. Every
prisoner in the Jail was liberated
There were some tough characters among
them. Two of them were murderers aud
one was an lncendiary. These are the fell
lows who burned Columbia. They had a
bitter grudge against the place, andi they
were not slow to wreak vengeance as SOON
as the opportunity presented.
with my own eyes l saw these villsirs
applying the torch to buildings in different
portions of the city. l saw them when they
set fire to the cotton that was piled up in
the main street.
They were as desperate as they were
ruthless. They carried the flames into
every quarter. Fresh fires were started in
all portions of the city. The soldiers and
citizens were unable to check the flames.
=, 'Of course was a southern sympathizer.
but to-day do not hesitate TO say that the
conduct Of the union soldiers at Columbia
was exemplary when it is taken into con-
sderation that they were victorious war
riors
II know that it was not Sherman's men

TWENTY GIRLS MAKBTHB DRAGON
Startling Stage Realism Ingeniously
Made of harmless Material.
From the BOSTON Herald


From the Boston Herald
There are, indeed, tricks in all trades, and
as theatrical business has become more OF
less of trade, it follows that 1T has its
tricks. In Ali Baba,n the big spectacle
which was presented by the American
Extravaganza Company at the Globe
theater there appears at given
hour something which makes a man
who has been drinking feel queer, while the
prohibition contingent look at it with horror
and then with delight. This Is the snake,
or, as it is billed. the dragon, and it is forty
feet long. 1t is a very ingenious affair, and
Yves made in Paris by NJ. Ganet. the master
Of properties of the Chatelet theater
The body of the reptile is nothing more nor
less than twenty young women who travel
on all tours, and who, at the right moment
and given signal, jump up and reveal
themselves as dlabolical sprites. They are
clad IN gray tights and green bodices, and
on their heads are little horned skull caps.
The article of attire that gives to each the
appearance of a portion of the serpent's
body, and which, when the twenty girls
creep along in follow-the-leader fashion,
makes q wriggiing, creeping snake of mon
strous size, is a satin-lined coat of thin can
vas. which is rougly painted and notified in
green. yellow and white, to represent the
scales of reptiles head.
The awe-inspiring, bird-hke head, with
rolling, CHASTITY eyeballs and crocodile jaws,
serrated with rows Of cruel, sharp teeth, is
said to be the most ingenious part of the
affair. 1t is made of PAPER mache and
wicker work, light enough for a boy to
carry, and with devices inside to move the
jaws and eyes.
The eyes are swung on q pivot, and
worked by means of a spiral spring The
huge jaws are hinged, and stout lever
inside, with the aid Of a little muscle,
makes them snap and yawn ferociously.
Each nostril is shaped like the crater of
volcano, and the aperture from which the
molten lava would come is replaced by
little alcohol lamp, the faint blue fame OF
which cannot be seen from beyond the foot
lights; over each of these lamps the fan
shaped mouth of long tube comes. About
six inches from the lamp and connected with
the tube is a receptacle for lycopodium.
When the boy who manipulates the ap-
paratus concludes that it Is proper for the
dragon to make an imposing display of it's
ferocity he blows through the tube, the
powdered club moss seed is scattered over
the alcohol flame and makes a CHASTITY blu
ish and altogether startling flash.
