Hon. Wm. Allen.

! THIS gentleman being On a brief visit
TO Columbus, we had the pleasure of an
interview and free conversation with him
yesterday afternoon. He is in fine
health and spirits, and the vigor of his
great intellect was never more remark
able than it is now His views of the
condition and future Of the country are,
in the highest degree, interesting and
instructive, and are marked by that ele-
waited Craftsmanship and sound Demo
cracy for which he has ever been dis
tinguished. We note few c. his re-
marks.
"The only organization that can save
US" said he, Is the Democratic party
The Radicals can never do it. They
have shown, beyond question, that they
do not comprehend the american peo-
pie; and if they did, they are so con
trolled by the lust Of power and plum
der, and so committed to the support of
special privileges, that their rule cannot
endure without ruin to the liberties anl
prosperity Of Che people. But the Dem
ocratic party stands upon its ancient and
fundamental pviuciPles-principles that
underlie aud support American Govern
ment and American Society, and which
cannot be disregardcd without producing
anarchy first and finally despotism.-
Thousands who left US, under the infu-
cnce of feeling or misapprehension, have
this year returned TO us--thousands
more will return next year, and thous-
ands of Republicans who now see that
the Rule of the Radicals is the destruo-
ton of the Country, have Joined, and
others will continue to join us, if we act
with the wisdom and patriotism that are
characteristics of our parry, and have SO
often distinguished it in great eneTgen-
cies."
In the course Of the conversation We
mentioned that his name was spoken of
in a number Of papers as a candidate for
the Presidency. He Immediately Io-
piled:
Il know nothing about it, sir. I nm
no candidate for that or any other Office.
I desire no office. I prefer to serve in
the ranks. This is no new sentiment
with me. / have felt so for years, and
I feel so now more than ever. What I |
want to see, is the Democratic party TN
tied and victorious; that consider es-
sential to the safety and prosperity Of
the country; but 1 want no honors my
self"
We asked him which IF the Radical !
candidates he thought would be the
strongest.
81 think" said he, "that there would !
be no material difference between them.
Neither of them can be elected if the
Democracy act with union, energy and |
wisdom. There is too much at stake
FOR the result to be sonsibIy affected by /
the popularity Of any man. "-.S5a'esman |

THE RADICAL, RIDE.
By A. JAY WALKER.

Up from kentucky, the first they say,
That brought to Radicals their great dismGy,
The afrighted sir with a shudder bore,
Like herald in haste to the Radicals door
The terrible grumble and rumble and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And the Rads-scattered in every way.
And wider still those biIlovs of war
ThundeTed along the horizons bar:
And louder yet into California rolled
The roar Ofthat red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the leaders grow cold
As they thought of the stake in that fiery fray,
And the Rads-scattered in every way.
But there is n way from California known
As good broad highway leading down;
And to HOHtgHd as with terrible right,
The RAIDS as black as the steCds of night
Were seen TO pass as with eagles Gight,
As if they knew Of the terrible need
They stretched away with the Utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell, but Sll was dismGy,
For the RAIDS weTe-scattsred in every wav.
Urged on by heirleadcrs they thundered South,
Their Impeachment cries loud as the cannon's
mouth
Or the blatant cries Of Ashiey-sweepinr faster
and faster,
FOreboding to RAIDS the doom Of disaster;
The hearts Of the Oemocrats AID the hearts Of
their master
Were beating like prisoners assaulting Their
walls,
impatient to be where the battlefield calls;
Every nerve of the RAIDS was stirred to fall play,
And yet-ChiO rolled forty thousand away,
Toward the East they now took the road,
SOrrOwing mOUrnfUlly, their spirits flowed,
And the stragglers fingered away behind,
Like captains weary IN body and mind;
And theiT leaders, ike bark fed with furnace
Ire,
Swept on with their wild eyes full of fire;
But 10 they are nearing iLeir hearts desire,
They arc snufhng the smoke Of the Pennsylvania
fray,
Where the Rads slost-eighteen thousand they say.
The first the RAIDS saw were the groups
Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops;
What was dOne-WhGt to dO-a glance told them
And away yl' to Es,g York they went with terrible
oath;
They dashed through the line with a storm Of
huZzahs,
and the waves ofretrcat cLecLedi its course there
because
The sight Of Sheridan compelled it to pause;
With foam and with dust his black charger was
gray
BY the fash of his eve and his red nostrils play,
He seemed TO the whO'e scattered army to say,
a. Thaga 5To,oIf 70g Sheridan al the rag
from L'0scctEsstts, 5gths emit sGg6 The dGB"
Hurrah, hurrab, for Democracy!
Hurrah, hurah for the loyal vanl
And when heir statues are placed on high,
Under the dome Of tue Union skv,

a CHALLENGE--S1, 900 STAKES
The excitement in regard to Weston, the
" Walkist," having subsided, it is abso-
lutely necessary that the people, in or
der to supply the want, we make the
following proposition, to-wit: We will
eat Hash with any newspaper man in
Ohio for the sum Of 81 600, the money
to be paid into the hands of johnny
Houx, Of the URBANA UNION, within
the next thirty days. The Hash to be
the same as that usually to be found at
hotels, with the exception that it be well
cOmbed and free from liver. The afore-
said Hash Is to be eaten at one sitting Of
twenty-fOur hours, and the match to take
place at Columbus on the 9Th of Janu-
airy. In case the challenge is not accept
ed, Charley Gould. of the Hooking Sen
tinel, and CockeTell, of the True Tele-
graph, are expected to furnish the re-
freshments at the time and place speei-
fed. We would not throw out this
challenge if we had not learned that
Fisher of the Lima Democrat, recently
ate nine dishes Of hash at a single sit
ting, and, like Oliver Twist, called for
more. Haag, of the Northwest, who has
recently 'jined" a Temperance Society,
will act as Umpire upon the occasion.

inquired of the Clerk regarding the
amount of Stamps that would be
necessary to liquidate the claim Of the
establishment against him. He was in
formed that his bill was So, but as it
was so distinguished an individual, and
they felt liberal that morning, he the
clerk J would throw off one half J. N,
replied that that was indeed liberal, and
as he did not like to be out done by
any one in poiat of Iiberality he would

ly' and the immortal took his departure
with new Iaurels on his brow as a jok-

A COMPLIMENT TO Mr.. PENDLETON.
There is no man in the country who has
ia greater degree the respect of both
his political friends and opponents than
George II. Pendleton. There are none
who viii not heartily indorso as true what
Horace Greeley said of him a few days
ago in the New York Tribune. We
quote:
"He is thorough gentleman in man
neT and address, and if, outside Of his
politics, he ever did an unjust or IN
worthy act, We never heard of it."
1t is these personal qualifications, uni
ted to his great Political merits and
standing, that render him our most
available candidate for President in

SHoCKING--In New jersey many
years ago, a good hearted man and his
long tOunged, style-talking wife attend
ed a social party. Almost every three
minutes his wife would check her hus-
band thus:
"Now, William, don't lean back in
your chair in that way"
"Now, William, don't talk SO loud"
"Now, William, don't get SO noisy
over there"
"Say, William, let the girls alone and
sit by me-"
At last forbearance ceased to be a vir-
tue, and the husband, who was really
pitied by all in the room, arose and said:
Il beg pardon of the company, but as
my wife insists on being boss all the
time, it is right she should have these"
And he deliberately took off his pants
and handed them to his wife, and then
sat down in his boots and drawers.

StonewalI Jackson-A characteristic

In the Religious Herald for this week
we find the following interesting incident
in the life Of Jackson which gives US an
insight into some Of the thoughts that
occupied his mind the dayafter the great
battle in which he won his immortal
soubriquet of " Stonewall."
A few days after the first battle of
Manassas an eager, anxious crowd was
assembled at the postofioe in Lexington,
Virginia, On the arrival of the mail
The greatest excitement prevailed, aRd
tidings from the front we're eagerly
sought after. The venerable DR.. White
(pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
took a letter from the postofice, and re-
cOgnizing it as in the handwriting of
Brigadier General afterwards StonewalD
Jackson, he said to the crowd:
Here is q letter from General Jack
son-now we will have full and authentic
particulars of the battle" The crowd
eagerly asked him to read aloud, and
pressed round TO hear the expected stir
ring news from the field Of conflict. He
broke the seal, ard to the disappoint-
ment of all, found only these few lines

NIGHT SCENE IN A BOARDING
HOUSE

A LADY, whose husband j. In talifOr-
mia, Calcutta, or Chicago, suddenly
awakened from her sleep the other
morning, about o'clock, and springing
from her bed, screaming ut the top of
her voice, "AIurder! Help! Murder
Man in my room etc. ctc. Under th"
circumstances this was quite natural,
inasmuch Is more than one mistake of
this kind has happened in the house re-
Gently. Now, it appeared that no less
than three husbands were absent when
they should have been there, und con-
scquently there was more or less won
der, mixed up with aspecies of apprc.
hension on the part OF three wives,each
one wondering whether il was her hus-
band who had forgotten himself or the
room.
ooh come up quickly" shouted the
terrified female, holding on to the out
side door knob. "I've got him in."
"If it's my Josey," said another dis
consulate, "I'll learn him better. Con-
found these night suppers now he's
been'at one ofthem and has mistaken the
room, and here I've been alone all
night"
"Has he got whiskers ?" anxiously
asked the wife, upon reaching the land
ing on the upper floor.
ayes, nam, great big bushy whis-
kers, laying right along side ofmy cheek
when | awoke. Dear me, if my Alex
| Low hnra hn a laor. hin, hntt.r
III warrant you"
"Joseph? Joseph ? Josey ?" shouted
the wife at the door.
No answer came; not even a grunt,
incident to inebriation.
"Mav be he has jumped out of the
window" suggested the four or five fe-
males, all at once, who made a splendid
group Of long white drapory.
"Help-help ? bring a light-bring a
light" shouted several of the females.
Presently light was brought, and
several ofthe male board ers appeared,
all armed to give the thief or robber
such treatment as he had justly earned
| for himself.
| The door was opened and in rushed
/
the squad, and sure enough the fellow
was still in bed, with the top Of his
head just peeping above the sheet.
"Come out here you scoundrel ~ said
one of the men, at the same time grasp
ing him by the hair.
The tableau was strikingly interesting
and graphic.
The resolutc boarder almost fell from
the impetus he mad given himself, for
instead of jerking out man it was
nothing more than "frizzcd chgnon, ~
; which the lovely occupant of the bed
had forgotten to take Off when she re.
tired for the night. 1t had been de-
tachcd in her sleep, and grazing her
cheek awakened her. The alarm, OF
course, was quite natural. The board
crs had Il hearty laugh, and all retire.
