which % another token that apiie Of DO litica dis
aster, commercial prosperity Is now beginning to
dawn upon us, was cheering one. And th,s
beautiful sight was nothing more nor less than
huge steam (Tyler) cotton press, just erected in
the splendid yard known as Penn's Press. Here
tofore an ordinary hydraulic press has been used
IN TINS establishment, but the present increase Of
business & and the the prospects Of future enlarge
that would be fully adequate to do all the work
which may fall to him this winter. The press ID
built after the most approved manner, and is, hav
ing 52-inch cylinder, the largest, we believe In
the city. To Z spectator looking upon iu huge
bulk. and rejecting upon the mighty power Of
which IL is the agent; seeing how, with all its
mghtiness and hugeuess. IL may be controlled and
guided by the little finger Of single man, strange
and glorious thoughts Of the almost Almighty
power Of the human mind must present them
selves. 1t was intended that yesterday the great
press should be set to work, but, unfortunately,
an accident occurred to the steam engine which
runs it, and as the repairs needed occupied some
time, the Inauguration had to be postponed. It
will, however. be at work probably tomorrow,
and We recommend those Of our readers who like
to look at handsome piece Of machinery, aud
who enjoy the sight of any tangible evidence that
prosperity s returning to city, to visit Penns
Press, whenever they can spare an hour.
