A correspondent of the New York World,
writing from Worcester, the scene of the
rowing match between the Harvard and
Yale crews, describes the scene of the night
preceding the regatta: .-. -. - ..
At this fated hotel, which I believe is a
perfectly respectable and pleasant place TO
stop in at any other time. of the year, the
wild young men of Harvard and Yale for
the night before and the night after the an
nual regatta only most do congregate. They
come here for . grand anniversary spree,
and are having it this year az heretofore,
despite the order of the present proprietor
that no liquor shall be sold at the bar. It
is. not for o newspaper correspondent,
,whose duty it has been to chronicle for the
World, in years gone by, agood many trou-
blesome aud disgusting facts, to be too
squeamish; and possiblyif Ihad not Been
suffering last night from a racking" head
ache might nave sfumbered sweetly
enough, despite the cannonade Of rowdyism
in the corridors of this hotel. As it was,
was compelled to listen from 10 o'clock I'M
til after in the morning, not merely TO
the loud talk and jovial songs with which
respectable" drunkards are wont to har-
angue each other and the night, but to an
and beastly obscenity as con only be COM
mended as a candid admission of its authors
of their innermost deserts before the devil.
The disorder was utterly disgraceful. Only
sufficient numbers were lacking to swell it
into the dimensions Of riot such as wit
neesed here two years ago. '' 'F'

fanism which the curriculum of college
has no cure for, and of the shameful shame
called the asProhibitory law of Mass
1t is some satisfaction to be ensured by I,ore
than ono manly young fellow Of Harvard:
and Yale. that this sort Of thing is not so
much indersed Is t used to be by decent
students, and that the boys who make the
row are the black sheep mostly of both col :
le8es. But q sense of justice compels me- +
to observe that the black sheep then are
very numerous, and that they richly deserve
to be shorn.-. There is altogether too mean
a disposition among the college youth of
this Latitude to bully the good taste The
convenience, the comfort and even the
persons of citizens are not safe; when the
bullying can Be done by plenty soffAckers

Brewster used the razor for tho purpose,
anu during the operation cut slight cash

the member commenced aching, and con-
tinued to grow worse and worse until tho
whole hand AMI arm were fearfully swollen,

GnA1N1Na.-A process has recently been
announced in Europe for initiating the
grains Of wood Of different kinds, with the
most perfect exactness, which CONSIST ip
using a piece of the wood to DO initiated aa
plate for taking off an accurate impress
sion Of the texture TO do this. q piece Of
the wood is selected of fine quality and ap-
proved grain, about five feet long, twelve
inches wide and q quarter of an inch thick,
smooth with sand-paper. A chemical pte-
paration is then applied to the wood, which
has the effect of opening its pores and OF
the samo time hardening its surface; and
when the hoard thus prepared is thorough
~ dried, it constitutes wood plate fnEi
printing. The material with which tho
Impression is to be made is prepared in oil,
and is especially adapted for transferring.
The paint is applied to the board by
means of a roller. any superauous quantity
of paint being removed with Pallettel
The sized paper, prepared expressly, Is
then laid over the board, and both are pass
ed through the rollers; and when the paper
is stripped off from the wood, it ca4ies with
it all the paint, marked off with the grams
Of the wood. This paper is then to DO APP :
plied to the surface on which tho imitation
is to be effected, with the painted slge
downwards, of course, and the pack OF tRe
impression is lightly rubbed with piece
of soft flannel. On stripping off tho paper
facsimile of the hoard is loft behind.
The other details of tho process arc given
at length in the account Of which the pres!'
ont is only an abstract and we presume
that if not already intrnduced into this
countryit soon will be, and employed large
ly for decorative purposes.

A Strange Incident.


'Truth is stranger than fiction" it has
oitsp been said, and the following Incl
don't, for the truth OF which we can vouch,
is another illustration ct the truth Of the
saying:
Yesterday as our newly appointed Nesis-
ter of the Land Office here, Mr.. Maxwell,
Colonel OF the First Michigan Cavalry,
during the war, was busily engaged in his
Office, tall, military looking gentleman
walked in, whom he instantly recognized
as Mr.. Henry Lee, nephew Of General
Robert E. Lee, and Colonel Of the First
Virginia Cavalry during the rebellion. The
recognition was mutual, and called up
bitter and painful "reminiscences of events
that occurred during the terrible conflicts
between the armies of the NORTH
and the Southern Confederacy. It ap-
pears that during the rebellion the LIST
Virginia and the LIST Michigan cavalry hap
pened to he arrayed each against the other,
and the feeling Of luminosity between the
two regiments Was US bitter as that enter
tanned towards each other by two single
persons who are deadly enemies. At tho
famous battle Of Gettysburg tho two regi-
ments fought face to face. each learning
to respect and hate the other for the blows
given and courage displGye'1. Between
COiONe1S Maxwell anu Lee, Cio AStaAAc*S VI
the two regiments, the hate entertained by
the respective members OF each regiment
seemed to concentrate, and when
tho contending armies were engaged
on James river, the two Colonies
met fAce to face, md there swore
to fight it out in a personal conflict. The
reuoive was no sooner formed than execut-
cd, aud q determined and deadly conflict
immediately ens,lpd, the two regiments,
for the time, being merely spectators. The
result was that Maxwell received sword
thrust in tho groan and Lee had his shout
der disabled.
Since that day up to yesterday, we sup
pose the two men have never met, and it
may we'll be supposed that the meeting
was strange one and that singular feel
ings were evoked on the occasion. They
both bear the ineffaceable marks of hard
service; Col Maxwell has lost one leg and
has sustained other serious physical iniu-
rics: whiio the left arm OF Col. Lee is dis
abled by tho wound received in his con-
fiict with Colonel Maxwell. Desert Utuh)
