A NimJle Buck, and Hon lie Ran.-
Joshua Campbell is gay Lalliario of the
colercd persuasion. Although not an Apollo
in appearance, he is perfect Don Juan in
disposition, and plays strange pranks with
the hearts OF the unsuspccting dusky damsels
OF Wilmington. We have before now had
occasion to mention the mishaps and hair |
breadth escapes brought about by this un-
bleached Romeo's dalliance with The lair Cd |
but never have we been called upon to give |
to Madame Fame a tale in winch the above
mentioned gallantry oil the aforementioned
Campbell appeared 10 so little advantage,
and in which his legs played so prominent
part. Last Tuesday this gay and ieslive
youth INDUCED himself in "A little cpislolary
correspondence with Juliet 0i his own
complexion, in which he very unga'anlly
threatened to take her life, whether Tor love
or no, deponenl saith moi. II seems from
the sequel that the lady in question rather
questioned the lovelinesS ul this procedure,
SO the dark gallant was complained OF, and
her correspondent was forthwith brought
before Esquire Silvers, who bound him IN
the sum OF 81 900 10 keep the peace. AS the
gent of The sable hue failed to inspire $1,000
worth of confidence in any one present, he
was handed over to the custody OF an officer
| for sale keeping. Now comes the most
/ humilialing part of our narrative; for no
sooner was this unpleasant TACT made known
| than with one bound he cleared his skirts OF
the unpleasant associations around him, and
| shaking the unhallowed dust OF dulaucc vile
from his feet, dashed down the street with a
speed that even bucks Of the lour-legged
variety seldom excel. Close at his heels
followed his relentless urseeulors-Unward
plunged he as though the whole tlhe OF hu
Klux's were after him. But the race is not
always 10 the fleet; tired nature had at last
TO succumb, and the disComfilled Campbell
accompanied by an officer, ignoninlousY
marched back TO the hall But his eYentu
career was not yet al an end; lor he wa
again brought from the hall to take his de-
: parture lor the classic precinct OF the whip
. pingpo and pillory, wilhcr he was con
e yeYcd without more ado by Constable Flelch
+ er, who did not propose that he should agAil
spurn his captofs, and snuff the air ol iIee
