ruEMaY on TINE BICYCLE.

Tie man on the bicycle is invariably
Il silent mana preoccupied mana
man upon whose face is written an utter
indifference OF all things met with on his
bright, sunny way. He may attract and
rivct and clinch the curious attention OF
hundreds, but lie is never attracted to
anything or anybody. 1t is part OF
his strange fate to appear simply an au-
tomato section of his machine. He
cannot even tell you why he works his
legs in that peculiar way; indeed, fol
the most part, heseems totally obliviou'
OF the fact that he has pair of logs 10
work at all, and yet tho spasmodic reg

lions OF his knees will command at once
the attentive admiration Of every lowly
pedestrian he passes in the crowded
street. The man on the bicycle seems
always to be going somewhere q very
great number OF miles from here. Evi.
IDENTIFY he has not hoisted himself NJ
there astride OF that great spindle-shanked
wheel either for the more fun of the thing
or TO accent his beauty and grace oftgure
before the multitude. He is there for
purpose, rest assured, however in
scrutable a mystery it may seem to lis.
1t is enough for us to recognize in his
profound abstraction and melancholy
bearing that he knows the goal of his
ambition and will arrive there in proper
time, no fear. Whatever emotions may
be surging at his heart, whatever tenn
pestuous yearning at riot in the SOU
within, the stole face goes glimmerinl
by ia, betraying nothing but the grave
content of one whose clear convictions
have never failed him yet. He know,
his purpose and his destination. Tia

GEORGETOWN, March 20,-The levy
courtmen are still in session here but will
finish up their business this week. They
sold the lease of several office lots back of
the court house yesterday and realized
$12S SO out OF the sale. II all the land in
Georgetown were sold at proportionate
value the town would bring several
millions of dollars.
We have had some little excitement
this week occasioned by man from
Baltimore representing himself to be the
father of boy who has been living with
one Charles E,James of Broad Creek hum
bred for five or ak years. The father
came dowp asst Thursday and petitioned
judge Wootten to order habess corpus,
which was done and Mr.. James and the
boy appeared before his honor, and the
case has been adjourned from time to
time until concluded yesterday by the
judge ordering the father to take the boy.
1t seems that the mother OF the boy
some seven or eight years ago, while the
father was absent from home, became I'M
faithful, and deposited her two email
Sons in the Philadelphia slmshouse, from
which they were afterwards brought
hither and put with Sussex
farmers. The mothers whereabouts
is unknown. The boy seemed to
be we'll satisfied to remain with Mr..
James as he was to go with his father.
Evidently he has been we'll cared for
by Mr.. James-and Mr.. James, as we'll
as his whole family, had become very
much attached to him and were 10th to
give him up. He and his father left TOR
their home in Baltimore to-day.
