FROM BOSTON.
Corsspondens Of The N. z. Tribune.

ard well beloved City OF Worcester TO see how the
party of Progress always ascendant in that quarter
was coming on. 10 this intention, abridged my
morning dreams, nfiDged upon my break fast loosened
with sudden resolution the ties Of home aud by sort
Of flying lesp arrived in time at the station waere
stood, putting and blown g. tina. SOapes who waits for
no DIDO aud for else, not that wandering
artist whore srgan is The TRIBUNE.
Nothing happened to ms in the cars, ex,ept 10 re
men Der Kossutb in whore bonored company made
this journey five years iince, on the occasion of
his departure from Boston. II one OF his last
public appearances for the Kossuth fever, 50 just 1,
ts csufe and so unreasonable ard ffutess 10 is re-
suits, Lad nearly endured its time. Sill, the e.
Governor Of Hungary not suffered to depart like
ar ordinary mortal-s car was fitted up for him and
lis attendants adorned with evergreens, flags and the
Bird Of Freedom. Several uniforms in attend
snce, the delegates Of the Boston Committee, COM
missoned to hand him over TO the Springfield Com
mittee in good condition, sound in wind and limb
The distp suisbed guest wac, usua, afabls grave
and composed. Perhaps be was weary of pub
cty and fel. bimse the poorer for the constant bar
ter Of bis pure eoquerce and large thought for the
pure Yankee ard small wit constantly offered in ex
change With tee honorable exception of gold coin nov
ard then. That CON- speaking literally now, he should
him is that he did lot unders aid the American Eagle
Any quarter of a dollar should have tolt him that it
was spread eagle-an extremely shallow bird, With
gridiIor where it's heart s6ou be, with no visible
back or back bone and with its two caws cssped too
full of ts business TO exisnd either the rgnt hand
Of good.f;lowtbip or material aid-at best flhbus

soOisl.
Well, Kossuth had rot studied the spread esge,
you and l. dear TRIB, have had occasion to do, and
co. the day speak of, he seemed little pensive
and disapp pointed. parted from him al Worcester,
where tclerable gathering received MIN; there was
some Interchange of ompliments, and little martinez
ing between the uniforms before mentioned and Others
which mention low. IL was soon over the great
man bowed from he window, with his magical
smile and gesture; he wss gone and our hearts were
sad, mne at least TO think that he had met much
show and had carried little uostsnce away with
him.
Occupied by such "reminiscences as these l arrived
at Worcester before bnew it. is well, even pref
tily p.uated with high ground a. its Command There
were stil sone shreds and patches of Autumn faery
caught upon the trees ard shrubs though on the
whole, they had taken to shabbiuess and brown more
universally than one would have supposed from the
splerdor Of the weather. My BUSINESS in Worcester
was threefold. i wished TO zee q newlynVentsd
writing. sebne, the ingenious work Of Mr. Cnarles
Tnurber of Worcester wished TO End 60 old friead
and lastly, proposed TO walk through the off men
tOl ed Hoeptal for the lbsane whose wards present
as you doubtless know, three-mile journey l nan
it in MY mino to anticipate jest, mole to arise 81 the
ieea of your eccentric correspondents being caught
within the walls of this great Depot Of Dementia
but the recollection of its sad and plseous sghts is
TOO fresh in my mind to admit Of such rr7verences.
First, let me tell you Of the writing ulachiae, whose
intention to supersede the fatigue Of weak eyes and
lame hands. II exercises every elsmoD. of compoon
exec pit the brain. lmsgiIe comnodious table at
which you lit, with stylus sappored in psrpendcu'
lar Tor you hit entirely flexible 10 it's horizontal
movement. With this stylus you trscs large letters
on syip of coloIed paper, tie length Of The table,
These tiers do not appear, but your action sets IN
motion a pen, moving at an angle one nth smaller
than the sweep Of that with which you write. Tne
space described by II is exactly that OF an ordinary
shee. of letter paper which, In fact is placed there,
ard secured by iron bano. To the pen is stacaed
a reservoir capable of containing weeks supply Of
ink for all except those nveterete scrbbers who are
always writing, and who forget 10 waste not what
other people wsnt not. The operation of writing is
thus ade easy in Il twofold manner-the formation
of the large let trs does rot fatigue the eyes aud
the hsnd. 1t was in the interest Of the
former organs that your correspondent con.
suited the powers of the machine, and he vss
quite surprised to find how many had visited it in the
hope Of replacing weak or sbaky night band. Let
"my right hand forget her cunning" was, he had
always ina gned an extreme and slpposititiOus case
the extemest in short that the venerable Ps,lni,t
could srmmon to mind, by the aid of the prophetic
