Grant , who stopped hero to-night on his way fo New York. "Are you going to take part in the tight rnging at Albany ? " asked the re porter. " 1 have business there and am go ing to attend to it. 1 am out of poli tics , Btich as a citizen who exercises his right to vote and think as ho pleases. " "To change the subject , what do you think of Jeff Davis' book ? " "I have only soon extracts of it in the papers. 1 was highly amused , ( and the general laughed at the thought of it ) by his description of how lie was going to escape by throw ing thu man off his horse and the rest of it. The idea of Jeff Davis doing anything of that kind is absurd. A man 70 years of age , for years an invalid , a coward for Jeff Davis was a mortal coward , although he had great moral courage. " "What do you think of the attack ho made on you ? " "I did not sou that. I saw his at tack on Sherman and Sherman's reply about the burning of Columbia. When Sherman said if he hud burned it the world would have known of it at once , as ho would have told that he did it and never attempted a denial I endorse all that Sherman said and I think ho might have gpno further. 1 would have said while the Union forces did not burn Columbia they had a perfect right to do RO , that a precedent has been es tablished by the rebels. Columbia was the capital of a rebel Btate and a Htato which had led in the rebellion. It was fortified and could only betaken taken by assault. On the other hand , as soon as the rebels got ubovu Mason and Dixon's line thuy started to burn. When they went north for a few days , just across thoflordcr to a town with out defense that was never garrisoned dutivj 'ho war , ; iud hud no ono in it but wonicn , children and noncombatants - combatants , they sacked and burned the town. Then they pushed on to York , Pa. , another town without troops or defences and with only women , children and non-combatants in it , they demanded a mini of money , several hundred thousands (1 ( don't know the exact sum ) , or the town must bo sacked and burned. The money was scraped together and the town saved , andjtho town i.spaying | the interest on the bonds to-day and nrc still carrying that debt made by tin- rebels. What other precedent was necessary for burning a rebel town ? But Sherman did not burn Columbia. The rebels fired it before wo got there , and it was the Union forces that saved the place from total destruction. That's what 1 would have said if 1 had been Sher man , but of course no two men think of the same point in making an answer , unless they consult about it. What attack docs he maku on me ? " "In ono place hu referw to thu dif ference in the loss , both of men and iiToney , in your advance and that of McClellan's on Richmond , and makes a comparison in the hitter's favor. " "I captured LOO'H army , " wan the dry answer , characteristic of the man who wan being interviewed. Ho con tinued , " 1 think the book will do good. " "In what way ? " "It will not affect any union men and have the effect of driving spine ) f Davis' old associates to thu right side. " The general next tackled , volun- arilv , the half-breed press , and very vigorously oxprcHsed his opinion of .heir censure of him for expressing im opinion freely , and he wants t understood that hu will bu thu ntal- wart of Htalwarts in thu present issue mil clainm an American eiti/.en'H right o express his mind freely. Important Boiler Tost. Vutlona ] AwuciM1 * ! 1'rra * . PirrsiifKii , Juno 1C. The first \nown successful experimental boiler txplosion took place near this city to- lay under the direction Mr. I ) . T. , awnon , of Wilsonvillu , Ohio , illus trating what causes boiler explosions and indicating how to prevent such occurrences. The theory that a boiler well filled with water could not ex plode was completely overthrown , The hoiler under test was three- fourths filled. Mr. Lawson claims that explosions are caused by superheated water bursting into steam by the ru- moval of pressure from its surface , or by middenly filling a cylinder , or by condensation of steam from over its of surface. This theory was substan tiated by to-day's experiment. The pressure of steam before thu boiler burst was 'WO ; the tonsilu strength of the boiler was 02-i. When this pres sure was reached the valve was lifted , the cylinder filled with steam , and thu § boiler was blown to atoms. tli Alarming Discovoriek.
