A DUTCHMAN ABRoAD.--A down easter the

A BRAvE SoLDIER.--The Paris Constitutional
gives the following anecdote OF the late war III
Italy:
During the battle of Magenta the combat
was exceedingly severe around the railway sta
ton. and as the French regiments advanced, men
were busily employed III removing the wounded,
fearing that If their comrades should by chance
be obliged TO fall back the men lying on the
ground would be trampled under foot An OFF,

with handkerchief, having received thust

cheek and entered his left eye. The officer ask
ed him what he was doing, and seeing that he was
badly wounded, told him to go to the ambulence

Ger. 'Yes,' said the soldier, 'but the other is

whnt Divers Meet with Under
Water,

When the vessel has settled down in sandy
bottom il Is preserved many months from break
ing up and its position may be much the same
as II wodld be when floating in calm water, IL
1t be not tilted over by any under current drifts.
The light of course, depends good deal upon
the depth, and upon the nature of the bottom;
but where there Is no CHALK to give a milky
thickness to the water, the diver pursues his
work in u kind OF gloomy twilight. BY the aid
OF this he can see and feel his way round tho
ship, bu, when he ascends to the deck aud winds
down into the principal cabins he fiuds every
thing pitch dark, aud has nothing to guide him
but his hands. This is the most difficult, yet
the most frequent labor he has TO encounter; the
danger being that in large vessel where the
cabin stairs are deep, and the cabins long and
broad, he may get his air tube twisted round
some unfamiliar projections and TO squeeze off
his supply OF life from above. In positions such
as this he requires all his nerve and lf.posses-
sion, all his power OF feeling his way back in the
exact road that he came. He may have got tbs
precious casket TO which he has been directed in
his arms but what Of that il he die before he
can reach the stairs The cold helpless masses
that bump against his helmet, as they float along
he low roof over his head, are the decomposed
corpses OF those who were huddlcd together in
the cabin when the ship went down. 4 few Of
these may be on the floor under his feet, but
only when pinned down by an overturned table
ora fallen chest. Their tendency is ever upa
ward, and the remorseess sea washes away the
dead infant from its dead mothers arms, the
dead wife from her dear husbands embrace.--A
II the wreck be in the channel the small ctabs
are already beginning to atten on their prey
The diver diseutangles himself from this silent
crowd, and ascends the welcome stairs to the
deck. The treasure he has rescued is hauled up
into the attendant diving boat, aud he returns
again to his work. He seldom meets with au
accident under water; never. perhaps, with
DEATH and the chief risk he runs is from get
ting some heavy piece ofship lumber overturned
on his long train of air-pipe. Even in this case
he feels the sudden cheek and the want OF air,
gropes his way 6ack to the obstruction, removes
it, signals to his companions to be raised, aud
reaches the boat exhausted and alarmed. but
not so mach as to give up his place iu the trade.

and along which street extends, crowded with
blocks oil stores and houses, and teeming with
moving crowds, while shop-kaepers artizans,
women and children seem equally numerous
within and at the DOORS Indeed, a dozen or
fifteen miles might be added to the length of the
city III this direction, as there is but an unbro-
Ken succession OF towns and Villages for this dis.
tance, which are US populous and well built as
the city Itself. In crossing the city from the
shore to the western outskirts, | have walked
two miles aud half and then proceeded on
horse bac;; for ten miles more, making twelve
miles and halt In the whole, while in other
places 1t may be wider STILL According to the
lowest estimate the city covers an area equal to
seven OF the New England farming towns, which
are usually six miles square. And all is ira
vcrsed by streets usually wide and well construct
ed perfectly neat, and crossing at right angles
streets lined with houses aud stores, as com
pacty as they can be built, and crowded with
moving or stationary masses as thick as in our
Washington street. or New York Broadway at
least for considerable distances. The popua.
tion is estimated generally at 1900 O0O which
Mr.. Harris, our Minister, thinks is no exagger-
alton. For my part, judging from what have
seen when have gone into the heart of the city
and crossed from side to side, should be viii
ling to add as many millions more; for the lv
ing moving masses, seen from sunrise TO sunset,
| and everywhere the same, fairly seems beyond
computation. Que city as large as seven fine
towns in Rirkshire county, and containing po
pulation three times large as that OF the whole
State Of Massachusetts That is enough to think
of for moment.
