The Xew York National .Democrat; hotices 'gpiuie$&?3g hay4)f ila11roadLl&njsti3i& tiopi the .ravlwil of Mr Henry Smith , of Michi gan. Mr Smith's proposition, as we learn from thcDemoerat, isto build IlailvTays wholly of iron, elevating the track on cast iron columns, and suspending the cars" from the track instead of resting them ou it. The National Democrat says : ' "Such a road can be built for less thin the expense of building a ground road, it will be infinitely more durable, is less liable to get out of repair, and secures a degree of safety, with twice the speed, not yet dreamed of by travellers on our best managed roads. The idea is a novel one, and from a pretty thorough examination of the plan,'we think it entirely practicable, and one admirably suited to the exigencies of the times. Everyone feels the necessity of secur ing greater safety on our railroads, and there is a rapidly increasing demand for this mode of conveyance. Railroads are springing up as if by magic in all sections of the world; and hence the great necessity for those engaged in their construction to encourage every idea that tends iu any way towards economy, durability, facility of construction and transit, and, above all, to insure safety: All these, and more, are comprehended in an eminent degree in the Elevated Railway. It possesses a vast number of advantages over any railway now in opera tion on the face of the globe. Aside from its cheapness, durability, safety, etc., it can be run through the thoroughfares of our cities and villages (cars at full speed) without obstruction or annoyance, an air line can be more easily pursued, while curves can be turned with no kind of fear of the cars ever running olf the track, far heavier grades cau be ascended with ease, it cats no man's farm iu two, in no way endangers travel on our highways, and it is im possible for the cows to get on the track, while it looks down with contempt on the snow bank." Humorous Selection?. "An old soaker who lives in "Western, Mis souri, took it into his head one day that it was nesessary for his future welfare to be 'born a "'in ' nnt1 rthwith repaired to the Rev Mr B the respected pastor of the Baptist denomination of the town aforesaid, to obtain light. He was received with urbanity, and forthwith the following ensued: Old S. Its your doctrine, boss, that a feller to be saved must suffer immersion, isn't it? Mr B. Yes, Mr S., it is a fundamental doc- ( trine of our Church, that a man to be regenera ted, must repent of his sius, and be immersed. Old S. Well, boss, after repentin' and been slid under, if he flashes the pan, then what? Mr 15. Although back-sliding is much to be deplored, still, if he sincerely repents of his sin and is again immersed, the Church will receive him again. i Old S. Well, s'noso he asr'in kicks out of j the traces after the second time, (for you know what critters there are iu the world, boss) then what fs to pk3'? - Mr B. Notwithstanding all this, if he w ill seriously repent, and solemnly promise to amend his future life, the Church will again receive him into its bosom, after being immersed. Old S., (after a few moments of deep thought,) proposes the closing interrogatory Well, boss, would'nt itbe a blasted good idea to keep sich fel lers iu a soak all the time?" My" informant did not say whether old S., joined the Church or not, but I incline to the opinion that he didn't." Knickerbocker. The Caloric steamer Ericsson made a toi trm frnm cw Vork recently.

In the story i of "milv Oxford, or Life in Australia," we lind the following incident of j u eorge i lower, a famous mounted policeman, j who was sent out to hunt tip a notorious bush- i ranger, named MilKghon : lie intit Millighan-as a fellow-rancrer. and who supposed Flower to te dead. After some eon- lersation, Flower said : "Now suppose a mouut- . . i iiiuc.iv, ww iu t-ome upon you when you were aloiMCMtdvvas to ehallenfre yoa to surreuder, 1 wiiatrwoukl -yoit tot AVouId ,f?o draw vour trigger at once, and not givgJunrtXcha uce ?" eltWiii ,to st m . .

"Now let us suppose," continued Flower, "that such a man as that fellow George Flower the fellow that was drowned the other da- w;is to be in. the same position with you as I am now?" "I'd tell him," said Millighan, us must die, and challenge him to fi 'that one of 'ht fair." "How fight fair?" "Whv, I'd ask him to measure off fiftv vards, to walk backwards live-aud-tweuty paces, and let me do the same." "And do you think he would doit?" "Yes I do, for he was a man. 1 have often wished to meet that fellow in the field, for what I most want iu this life is its excitement and to be killed by the hand of a man like Flower, or to escape by killing him in a fair light either way would be something to suit me." "Millighau," said Flower slowly, "I believe every word you utter. Now listen to what I am iroing to tell you. I am George Flower .'" Milliglian started. He gazed on Flower, whose eye was now riveted on that of his adver sary. Millighan's carbine dropped from his hand but he did not change color or betray any alarm. "Pick up your piece," said Flower, pointing to t lie carbine and assuming a proud and care less attitude. "I am all you have said of me, Millighau. I might have shot you like a dog; before I spoke to you just now; but I could not do that, for you are a man as well as myself, and 3-011 are as brave as generous. Pick up your piece and walk backward five and twenty paces; but let us shake hands first." Millighau took Flower's hand, and sighed heavily as he shook it. "Do not surrender," suggested Flow er, half fearing that Millighau would do so and break the very charm that bound him to the man. "Surrender!" cried Milliglian, with a smile and a sneer; "no! I'll uever do that. And knowing you to be a brave foe. I have still a chance; for I shoot as straight as yon do. But tell me in earnest; are you George Flower? Yes, you must be. But hear this (his blood btfgau to; warni)if -j-on are sot, we must tight this day-, for we cannot after this live together." And Milliglian took up his carbine, and satisfied himself that there was powder in the pan, and with his left thumb he pushed the corner of his flint round so as to insure ignition when he drew the trigger. Flower placed his carbine against a huge stone, then put his hands into his pockets and looked at Milliglian, "I am George Flower," said he, "and who but George Flower would deal with you as I do? Don't let us talk much, or I may forget my mission and become a bush ranger myself." And Flower took up his car bine, and examined the powder in his pan, and touched the flint as Milliglian had done. "Flower! for Flower you be," said Millighau, "grant me, if 3011 shoot me, one desire that has haunted me. I do not dread death, but I have a lienor of burial. If I fall, suffer me to lie on the very spot. Let the eagle come and feast upon 1113 carcas, pluck these ees from their sockets and the skin from this brow; let me lie here in this lonely region, and let 1113 bones bleach in the sun, and the rain fall, and and the moon and stars shine upon them." "My God!" exclaimed Flower, seizing Millig lian bv the arm, "the same dread of being hur ried has ever haunted me. If I fall bv your hand, let me rest here, with 1113 head pillowed upon this gun. Let no man living be shown the spot where I fell." "Take 3our ground," said Milliglian. "I am ready." "There is my hand," said Flower, "and should we meet in another world we shall not be ashamed of one another, 1113 boy." Tears were standing in the eyes of both Flow er and Milligham when the parted. Each stepped backward pace for pace. Milliglian followed by his little terrier, Nettles. When thev were about fifty yards apart, they halted and" looked at each other for several minutes. Both simultaneously levelled their carbine but each was indisposed to be the first to fire At last Milliglian discharged his piece. He had aimed at Flower's heart. His bullet whizzed past Flower's head, and carried away part of the left whisker. Flower fired and Millighau fell flat on his face. The ball had entered his left breast. Flower ran to the spot to catch any last word Millighau might desire to breathe. But Milliglian was dead. SvnxEY Smith. Nothing was more odious to Svduey Smith than forward priggism. One cvenimz, at a dinner party, he was excessively aunoyed by the familiarity of a young fop, who constantly addressed him as "Smith;" "Smith, oass the wine," and so forth. Presently, the ' voun- gentleman stated that he had received I nn invitation to dine with the Bishop of London. and asked the reverend canon "what sort of a fellow" he was. "A very good sort of a fellow, indeed," re plied the satirist; "only let me give you a piece of advice don't call him Howley." This rebuff vastly amused the Compaq ; but the object of it, being a fool at all points, did not see this point, and talked on in happy un consciousness. Soon afterwards, one of the company rose to depart, pleading an engage ment to a soiree at Gore House. "Take me with you," roars young Hopeful. "I've the greatest possible desire to know Lady Blessington." This request was very naturally demurred to, on the ground that a visitor was not authorized to introduce uninvited guests. "Oh!" said Sidney Smith, "never mind; I'm sure that her ladyship will be delighted to see our youug friend: the weather's uncommonly hot, and you can say that ybu have brought with 3ou the cool of the evening." Seeking Letters under BifficnHles. A capital anecdote has been told us of a Mr Cornix, who acted a week or two as' deputy for a Postmaster at one of our West-Yirginia Min eral Springs, last Summer. Mr Cornix, never having touccived the notion cf going to France, had ' .-Never" learned the lingo,' and s,ji .the following laughable disconfiture be fell hinl in consequence of meeting a live French man in the course of his official duties. Monsieur La Donx, the aforesaid Frenchman, having come over ffoni Paris to sec la grand repulliqu de AmcriqH,ke a true Frenchman, begau his search for! knowledge at the resorts of ' Irrtii iri iiri 11 1 irt mi 'n r In i -li'-iiin Yi i T"; j Mineral Springs. Leaving somc "very dear creo le iriends behind him in Louisiana, his ardent soul demanded and expected a tri-weekh' state ment of their health, etcettra, iu return for as con stant jottings of his opinions on American man ners, customs and society. Whenever the staue came in, therefore, Monsieur La Doux was the first at the office. "Any lettaire for Monsieur La Doux?" I.e. would enquire; and then the imperturbable Cor nix would thumhic the contents of the L. box, and return for answer "Wall, 110 reckon rot." For two weeks did the indefatiable Ln Doux j visit the post office in pursuit of letters, only to meet the invariable " all, no reckon nof." Sometimes he would turn away with an ill-snp- presseu sacrc : uamning ii.e mans ami me. deputy and doubting his friends. The deputy's "Wall, no reckon not" was become hateful to his cars, yet he could not refrain from enquiring for his letters. The deputy, for his part, set the Frenchman down as a bore, and cursed him in his heart ever time he turned away. Observ ing the pile of letters in the L. box to be on the. increase daih', a luminous idea at last popped into the Frenchmen's head : "Mou friend," said he, one da, after hearing the deputy's "Wall, no," for the fourteenth time, "sail I 'ave de plaisir to look at de let taire?" "No objection," said Mr Cornix, giving him the "pile." "Ban!" exclaimed La Doux, throwing off a letter from the top of the pile with an exultant look : "Helas! no lettaire for Monsieur La Doux en rcriteV he again exclaimed, throwing down three or four more; "C'est bien! no let taire!" and so he weut on exclaiming and throw ing out until he had found ten. Picking up his own letters, he turned round upon the deputy with a savage air "No lettaire for Monsieur La Doux! what vou call dat? Ees dat no let taire?" . Iii !? . 1 1 1,1 "Them letters b'longs to Monsurc La3 Ducks," exclaimed Cornix, who had an idea that he was about to be imposed upon or robbed. "Lay Ducks!" exclaimed the Frenchman, with a look of mingled ind gnation and contempt "Lay Ducks l b gar, L sec, you 1111 fuu - un niatsvot yout-call de- ignornifte. Yon 110 compreheiidez uotting you no onderstandez de language et de pronunciation Francaise. Look at de lettaire," said he, holding up one of them, "L-a, dat ees Lar; D-o-u-x, dat ees Dot La Doux." "That's a fact!" exclaimed Cornix, with a sudden enlightenment; "Devil take the French," he continued, smarting under his chast ist iiicnt. Frenchman picked up his letters and moved to the door with a grumbling curse on all fools who don't understand French the greatest language in the worltl without a doubt ccr- tainly indispensable to Greenbrier ( Va.) Fra. every Frenchman !- C'culiPnt Cure 11m. A good story is told, in an ea.slcrn paper, of the treatment of a drunken husband by his ami able spouse. After trying various experiments, all to cure drunkenness, she thought of another plan of making a reformed drunkard of her lord: She engaged a watchman for a stipulated re ward to carry Philander to the watch-house, while yet in a state of insensibility, and to fright en him a little when he recovered. In conse quence of this arrangement, Philander waked up about eleven o'clock at night, and found himself Hing on a pine bench in a strange ami dim apartment. liaising himself upon his el bow, lie looked aroud until his eyes rested on a man 113 the stove smoking a cigar. 'Where am T? said Philander. In a medical college,' said the cigar smoker. 'What doing there?' 'Going to be cut up?' 'How comes that?' ' h3 30u dietl yesterday, while 3011 drunk and we bought 3-our body to make omy.' 'It's a lie I'm not dead.' 'No matter we bought vour carcass were I'nal- frc in 3our wife, who had a right to sell it, for it's all the good she could make of you. If you're not dead that's no fault of the doctor's and thty'il cut vou up elead or alive.' 'Vou will do it eh?' asked the old sot. 'A3 to be sure we will now direct I3V was the resolute answer. 'Well, c-an't you let us have something to drink before you begin?' This last speech satisfied the watchman tl.;.t Philander was a hopeless case; and, as his in ward was contingent on his successful treat m M of the patieut, he was not a little chagrined i t the result ; so, with no gentle handling, 1 e tumbled the irreformable inebriate out of the watch-house.
