Tho final triumph of the bicycle ia foreshadowed, if it bas not actually been accomplished, on a big farm near Wellington, Kan. One of the yoang men is an expert bicyclo rider, and he nsnally rides his machine when driving tho cattle to pasturo or to the barns. He is ablo to scorch around over the level prario and control tho herd with gTeat ease. Maybo the cowboy and bis bronco are soon to bo bat a mem ory of a picturesque past. A enrious law case is reportod from Milan, Italy. A young lady sued a young man a perfect stranger for having kissed her, suddenly and with out warning, in tho open street. When she entered tho box to give evidenco against bim, tho Judgo was so struck with her beauty that ho instantly ac quitted tho accused, on tbe grounds "that bo much loveliness and charm Lad doubtless proved aa irresistible temptation." Perhaps the most ro markublo feature of tho trial was that, instead of buing annoyed at losing her case, tho plaiutiir was delighted with tho verdict, and utterod a friondly farewell to the judgo as she left the court beaming with smiles, whilst tho accused was heartily applauded as hp retired in triumph with his frieudi Quito a number of odd emigration movements in tho West aro now uu der way.

The Fifty-fourth Congress began Its publlo sessions at noon Monday with crowded gal leries and many other manifestations of acute Interest in Its proceedings Including, ol course, the Inevitable floral deeorntions. There were fifteen new faces among the sena tors, not counting Mr. Chilton, of Texas, who- re-oeeupled a seat ho oneo held liefore by ap pointment, anl there were in addition thir teen re-elected senators to be sworn In by Vice President Hteveuson as their own suc cessors. Of the old senator whoso terms will exulre two yours from now, some of the most prominent, including Blackburn, Drice, Hill, voornees, vest una t ennr, loos inejr seats Monday, with the shadow hanging over them of strong probability that their place might be filled by others when this congress expires. The rehabilitated senate chamber had quite a changed appearance. ' This arose as much from the rearranging of thu seats ol those who remain as Irom the absem-e of the familiar faces of those who had Ish-u retired. Hunve and courteous Hansom, of North Caro lina, transferred to Mexico) courtly, hand some General Butler, of Houth Carolina, suem'eded by the rugged Fotrullst fc adiy, Ttllmuii; Dolph's flowing whiskers, Man dcrson's alert face and sonorous voice, Washburn's dignified presence, nnd Mo I'herson's matchless deportment the con spicuotis absence uf all these, and the presence of so many new men, gave ths Henate an unaccustomed look. In the House of lioprescntatlvee the changes were still tnorolnarkcil. One of the features which provoked comment from Hi galleries was the youthful appearance of many of the new member. Hcvcral Htute have sent as representatives men who nr still In their twenties, probably two score ,y others are under 40. In point of age, ths present house is the youngest Known to its history of American legislation, inesenoj.
