An ObIiEinE Stranger.

A well.known character in Memphis,
recently an aspirant for Congress, was
walking down Main street late last
night, with his cloak wrapped closely
about him. muttering to himself, /
wish somebody would kick me-" when
he suddenly beheld a stranger by his
side, aud turning to him said, VIII you
be kind enough to kick me, sirg Ger
tainly," said the stranger, and suiting
the action to the word, he lifted his num-
Der nine boot with the Congressional
sspirant astride fit, and when the boot
came down again the burden had found
a resting place in the middle of the
street. The stranger, after being warmly
thanked and informed that a repetition
was unnecessary, went on his way, won
dering what could have induced a mar
to make so singular request, and Their
appear go grateful for its ful6llment.

A Roper,s Dodge.

Jane Young is hard case, Of amber
complexion and bad morals, who lives
on Jefferson street, not far away from
the Exposition building. Jane ropes
innocent countrymen into her little par
lor. and then often succeeds in robbing
them of their little pocket change. Yes,
terday she evolved the moderate sum Of
one dollar and half from a rural
spooney, whom she induced to enter her
apartments, in a rather novel way. She
enticed the young man into her apart
ments, and soon after he crossed the
threshold a stalwart negro man dealt him
a severe blow aud then kicked him out
Of the house, not, however, till he had
made over the sum of one dollar and a
half to Janey. Jane was brought before
Squire Spelman this morning, but for
want Of evidence was discharged, and
now the officers are looking for her
"bufrer."
