PRoGREss OF PRINTING. Last week
in six regular days work. nine of the
steam presses in the job department of
the Times office printed off ,489 tokens
from l4l forms, or, counting 250 sheets
TO token, as is usual in all job work,
304. 500 sheets. There were l4l forms,
each change ol form requiring delay Of
the press from ten TO twenty minuies..-
This We think is the largest amount of
printing ever turned out from any one job
establishment in the West, in six days.
At all events we challenge comparison.
When informed of this being a weeks
work, the early days of tho Times office
were called 10 our mind. Twelve years
ago. we had but one press, an old Wash.
ington hand press, A token an hour was
considered good work upon that press,
with newspaper form, while six tokens
oil Job work was more than average
days labor Allowing six tokens day,
however, as an average, we find that it
then required our establishment TWO HUN.
DRIED AND roRTY.THoUSAND DAYS TO do
the amount of printing that only por.
ton OF our presses NOW PERFORM IN SKI
This is progress-Amerlcan progress

JAPANESE MANUFAcTUREs.--Ihe King
of Holland has sent to the Dublin Exhi'
bition a number of specimens Of Japan
manufacture:
Among other things, specimens Of silks
and UeICetS, said TO be equal 10 any Of
European manufacture also, silken
cords OF various thicknesses, painted wax
candles, toilets cabinets, and parasols; Of
these latter articles, the partthat is made
Of silk with us, is of paper, creased into
many folds; the ribs are of thin spliced
bamboo, they open and close with great
ease, and a much better defence from the
sun than shades of semi.translucent silk
Specimens Of coins, OF gold and silver,
are found in the collection; the largest
gold coin is worth ESQ, OF an obIong
shape, with rounded corners But mere
interesting than these are the printing
types, which are of wood, the body OF the
type being cylindrical with the letter at
one end. The warlike instruments are
not very formidable, The fire arms are
long and heavy, the swords are short
with daggers attached, the whole enclo.
Sed in clumsy cylindrical shealhs; the ar
NOR is woven fabric, sufficiently thick to
resist the thrust Of an arrow or spear;
there is also a highly finished Japaned
shield, which projects in the centre, from
which an arrow or any hand missal would
glance aside. The Japan ware is more
hardly finished than that which we ever
find in commerce; in the collection is q
lea.set OF this ware, and other articles to
be used in contact with hot water; from
the uses to which many of these articles
are applied, it is evident their varnish
must be of a superior quality and unaf.
iected by liquids.

Railroads are not only mighty instrn-

society, bul they also exert a vast influ.~
ence for good on the mental and moral
faculties of men. No man, however dull

with its precious freight of humanity and
wealth, without being more or less in,

sturdy regeneration Of the 10Th century.

as with an electric shock upon the stag

and vigor to the heartol community
Thrift follows in his wake, and he literal

of moral missionary, the forerunner of a
new era to all who have hitherto been
shut out from the benefcent influences of
its mission. 1t is at once schoolpaSter,
preacher, and an angel Of light to those
who were "sittng in darkness" and des'

We are forcibly struck with this truth

The New York Courier and Enquirer,
with reference to the facts, exhibited by
the above table, remarks;
The severe tax laws of Ohio, adopted
within the last two years, have had de-
pressing effect upon the banking system
and facilities of that State. 1t will be
seen by the above table, that the bank
capital of Ohio has actually diminished
within the past three years. The specie
and State Bonds have also decreased
The item of circulation has increased only
10 per cent; individual deposits, rs per
cent The contrast with the progressive
movements in other States is quite mark.
ed. While New York, Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, and other States, have increased
their banking facilities from so to 100 per
cent, Ohio is taking retrograde STEP
The result is attributable entirely to the
unfavorable legislation that has taken
place in that State; and the vexation and
litigation to which it has given rise, and
which are not yet ended, will serve to drive
away not only the capital held by their
own citizens, but that Of non-residents.
1t is well known that the capital of the
Ohio Life and Trust Company, of the
Lafayette Bank, and other banks in Gin
cinnati, and other portions of Ohio, has
been largely held in New York and 9TH
er Eastern cities. The tax law of 851 is
SO oppressive that several of the banks
have opposed it in the courts, while 9TH
ers have concluded to go into liquidation
and place their means where the law of
tcontracts is more strictly adhered to, and
where capitalists are not looked upon as
the enemies of the poor man and laborer.
