Standard. Washington, Feb. 22. A rencontre took-place here last night be tween Senator Clemens, of Alabama, and Mr Harris, of Mississippi.' ' Mr Clemens was intro duced to Harris, who declined replying. The introduction was unsolicited. Mr Clemens re torted that he would make Harris responsible. Mr Harris rejoined angrily, when Mr C drew a revolver and struck Harris a heavy blow on the head, cutting it dangerously, felling him t6 the ground. Clemens then seized a chair, but was prevented from a further attack by his friends who interfered. The ditticultv remains uncxplainad, and a duel is anticipated. ': New;, Plan for Railway?. Tlie New York National Democrat ; notices sometTuug tion, the inviAitibtS of Mr Henry Smith, of Michi gan. Mr Smith's proposition, as we learn from thcHemocrat, is to build lailfays wholly of iron, elevating the track on cast iron columns, and suspending the cars" from the track instead of resting 'them oa it. Tlie National Democrat says : "Such a road can be built for less tlun 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'specd, 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 conveyaneel 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, arc 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 off the track, far heavier grades can be ascended with ease, it cats no man's farm in 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."

I most want iu this life is its excitement and to j be killed by the hand of a man like Flower, or to escape by killing him in a fatrjight -either way would be something to suit me." "Millighan," said Flower slowly, "I believe every word you utter. Now listen to what I am going to tell you. I am George l'lotcer " Millighan started. lie gazed " on -'Flower, whose, eve was now riveted on that of his adver sary. Millighan'scarbine dropped from his hand but he did not change color or betray any alarm. "Pick up your piece," said Flower, pointing to the carbine and assuming.; a' proud aud care less attitude. "I am all vou have said of me, Millighan. I might have shot vou like a dog; 'Xr- The Caloric steamer Ericsson made a trial trip from New York recently.

Millighan took Flower's hand, and sighed heavily as he shook it. "Do not surrender," suggested Flow er, half tearing that Millighan would do so and break the very charm that bound him to the man. ""Surrender!" cried Millighan, with a smile and a sneer; "no! I'll never do that. And knowing you to be a brave foe, I have still a chance; for I shoot as straight as you tlo. But tell me in earnest; are you George Flower? Yes, you must be. But hear this (his blood bfgau tp warm)-if you arc not, we must light this day, for we cannot after this live together." And Millighan 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 Millighan, "I am George .Flower,", said he, "and ''who' but George Flower would deal wit!i 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, aud examined the powder in his pan and touched the flint as Millighan had done. "Flower! for Flower you be," said Millighan, "grant me, if you shoot me, one desire that has haunted me. I do not dread death, but I have a lienor of burial. If I fall, stiller nie to lie on the very spot. Let the eagle come and feast upon my carcas, pluck these eyes from their sockets and the skin from this brow; let me lie here in this lonely region, and let my bones bleach iu the sun, and the rain fall, and and the moon and stars shine upon them." "My God!" exclaimed Flower, seizing Millig han by the arm, "the same dread of being bur lied has ever haunted we. If I fall by your hand, let me rest here, with my head pillowed upon this gun. Let no man living be shown the spot where I fell." "Take your ground," said Millighan. "I am ready." "There is my hand," said Flower, "and should we meet in another .world we shall not be ashamed of one another, my boy." Tears were standing in the eyes of. both Flow er and Milligham when they parted. Each stepped backward pace for .pace. Millighan followed by his little terrier, Netth s. When thev were 'about fifty yards apart, they halted ami looked at each other for several minutes. Both simultaneously levelled their carbine but each was indisposed to be the first to fire At last Millighan discharged his piece. He had aimed at Flower's heart. His bullet whizzed iat Flower's head, and carried away part of the left whisker. Flower fired and Mdhghun fell flat oivhis face. The' ball had entered his left breast. Flower ran to the spot to catch any hist word Millighan might desire to breathe. But Millighan was dead. Svknev Smith. Nothing was more odious to Syduev Smith than forward priggism. One cveninir, at a dinner party, he was excessively annoyed by the familiarity of a"young fop, who constantly" addressed him as "Smith;" "Smith, pass the wine," and so forth. Presently, the voun,r gentleman stated that he had received an invitation to dine with the Bishop of Loudon, 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 company; 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 young friend: the weather's uncommonly hot, and you can say that ybu have brought with you'Ac cool of the evening:7 Scekui?
