This eminent divine, who is as well
known as he is universally respected,
many years since was led to the conclu-
sion that "is 1t not good for man to be-
alone"
After considerable pondsriug, he re-.
solved to offer himself IN marriage to q
certain member of his flock.
No sooner was the resolution formed
than II was put in practice. and getting
out his cane, he speedily reached the,
dwelling of his mistress.
1t chanced 10 be Monday morning;
day which many New England readers
need not be told is better known in the
household as washing day. Uncon-

occupation, which to say the least, is
more useful than romantic.
There was Il lnud knuch hear., a, the

"Jare; go to the door. and if i. is any.
body to see me, tell them | am engaged.
and cannot see them" -
The message was faithfully rehearsed.
"Tell your MISTRESS" said Parson B.,
"that j. is very importan, that should
see her"
"Tell him 10 call this afternoon" said
the lady. when this was returned, and I
will zee him."
But il was unavai!ing. IL must see
her now, said the minister: tell me where
she is.''
So saying, he followed the servant in.
10 the kitchen to the great surprise Of
her mistress.
"Miss--, l have come to the con-
clusion to marry. Will you have met"

NAPOLEON WANTS A DvoRcE.-The
Paris correspondent Of the Montreal
Witness writes as follows:
The great question which occupies, at
Lreseni, the Court of France. IS The di-
vorce Of the Emperor. He no longer
hopes TO have any children by his pres.
enl wife, and it Is said that he thinks of
taking another. The re?or, is no, off
cial. but as j. has appeared in several
licensed papers, the truth Of j, can scar
cely be questioned. Napoleon Ill, is,
however, very fond of his wife, aud the
divorce will resemble in every point that
Of his uncle aud Josephine. who were
as you know, separated for the came
reason. Whether from this motive Or
any olher. the Empress Of The French is
looking very melancholy. |, is impos-
sble to see her wi,hou. being struck by
her expression of sadness. As to ,h-
Emperor, he appears constantly calm and

The Raising of the Ericsson.

A special reporter IRON the Tribune
office visited the Ericsson yesterday
The ship lies easily on soft. bottom
near the dock of The Cunard steamers,
IN Jersey City. She stands perfectly
upright, her two tall masls, with yards
across, standing as erect as when she
lay at the wharf A, high tide the
wheel house deck is about two feet ou,
of water, aud the saloon deck and her
bow. rail just ON level with il. When
the tide is out The waier falls below the
malnrail of The ship, leaving her upper
works in full view. Capt. Benson. with
his wrecklDg schooner, the Rio Grande,
and his divers in submarine armor, is
alongside aud engaged IN stopping The
ports through which the water entered
that sunk The ship. A large canvas is
drawn around the ship, The upper edge
of which is ubOve the water, aud forms
a sort of bag. encasing the vessel.-
When the open ports aud deadllgh,s
shall be closed by the divers, which was
likely TO have been completed yesterday.
nothing will remain TO be done but TO get
the steam pumps on board aud tree the
ship. The water, in consequence Of the
late rains, is very turbid, and the divers
are unable 10 see while beneath the sur.
face. They are thus left 10 grope their
way about the ship. and are compelled
mainly 10 feel ou, the places which are
10 be stopped. Should none be over
looked IN this rather blind survey OF ,he
premises. il is probable The pumps will
be set TO work 10 day on the ebb tide.
Fhe damage to the Ericsson mus. be
very considerable, owing to lhe swelling
of the wood work, and the necessary The
accident imposes of a thorough over
hauling OF The machinery. Sull, the
disaster will work no essential injury to
the great experiment.
The curious operation of men work
ing In submarine armor may be seen a,
the Ericsson. Above water they are,
when thus clad, The most helpless OF
mortals. They are clothed IN heavy
India rubber dress, with belts about their
legs, filled with shot. The head is Ell.
cased in huge copper cap. with glass
before The ey es. An India rubber tube
Is connected to the top oil ,he cap, anu
attached TO an air-pump. When the
mouth piece Of the cap is closed, The air
pump Is vigorously a, work. The alr
thus forced in at the head finds lis way
out where The dress terminates on the
arms. When the diver is thus equip
ped, rope Is attached to his body, anu
he Is lowered into the water.
HIS nouon and position under water
are clearly disclosed by ,he violen, az,
ailon directly over his head, occa stoned
by the escape OF the air pumped through
the lube which leads TO ms miniature
prison. A single line is taken in the
hand of the diver, by which he signal
Izes those above water. One pull is ,he
signal 10 be taken up. Two pulls for less
air. AID three pulls for more air. The
work which lie diver can perform is
