The HERALD has frequently spoken OF
the want of proper accommodations at the
passenger depots in this city, and particu-
larly of the Texas Il PaCiGC depot on La
fully aware of all the disagreeable sur
roundings and want of room where ladies
can be free from the intrusion of drunken
men and tramps and negroes OF high ana
low degree, and they have promised, SO we
learn, that at an early day they will build
depot here that will be an ornament to our
city and credit to themselves. But
time after time has been named for the
commencement of this much needed work,
until many have lost faith in the sincerity
of the promises, and have quietly settled
down to endure all and more inilictions
than are named in the above queries. 1t
might be well for our Board of Trade to
take the matter in hand. A resolution
passed by that body, representing as it does
the business men and interests of the city,
placing the matter in its true light, and re-
Questing the railroads to give them relief
from the obnoxious little hole-in-the-wall
called the lower depot, and erect building
furnishing at least one room where ladies
can be free from insult and profanity, would
probably accomplish the desired result.
There can be no doubt that the present
management of the Texas q Pacific and
other roads in the combination feel kindly
to Dallas, but in the multiplicity of their
duties they have probably neglected or
overlooked this, Improvement longer than
was intended. If the Board Of Trade were
to move in this matter, it might accom-
plish much good, and the worst results
that could possibly follow such action
would be as harmless as the Doctors bread
pill.
WE are requested to state that there will
be meeting of the gentlemen who have
subscribed their names to the agreement to
organize Cotton Exchange in this city,
to-day at o'clock, at the Office of Messrs.
Caller IL Hill. 1t is hoped there will be
full and prompt attendance,
THE retail business of the city to-day has
been really lively and active. A few good,
clear, warm days has wonderful effect on
the trade of the city. In the wholesale de-
partments the usual activity was mani
tested, and dealers were engaged in filling
their mail orders from surrounding towns.
A good feeling was apparent with business
men generally.

A southern paper says Bradstreets Of
January %. in its review of the cotton crop
of 1ssi-s2, puts the probable total crop at
5.Osl, 2O3 bales, and Mr.. J. b. LATTE, in his
circular, under date of January 81, shows
almost beyond doubt that $4,000 is an
outside estimate, and that under certain
contingencies the crop may not turn ont
more than $4,000. Messrs. Ellisons' last
circular estimates that with crop of $500,
600 there will be an ample supply, but any
thing below that figure would be likely to
cause some excitement and higher prices.
The chances for cotton for the balance of
the season should then be good, and lower
prices, as looked forward to by some par
ties, an impossiblity, even should consump-
ton not increase in Europe, which, how
ever, is very likely, as trade has generally
been better and the agricultuusts are also
in better position than for several years
mast.

The retail business of our city, for the

the fair weather of to-day was too tempting
for ladies to remain at home and a goodly
number were on the streets indulging in

sale trade there was nothing developed be-
yond the usual shipments on orders by
mail. A few country merchants were in
the city purchasing, principally from the
western counties.

History OF Printing.

In an interesting article on print
ing in Chins, the North China Her
aid says that the first great promoter
of the art Of printing was Feng Wing
Wang, who in 932 A. D. advised the
Emperor to have the Confucian clas-
sizes printed with wooden blocks en-
graved for the purpose. The first
books were printed in a regular
manner, and in pursuance of de-
cree in 953. The mariners compass
and rockets were vented about the
same time, showing that at this pc
riod mems minds were much stirred
toward invention. Twenty years af-
ter the edict, the books of the clas-
sizes were pronounced ready, and
were put on sale. Large-sized edi-
tions, which were the only ones
at first printed, were soon succeeded
by pocket eiitions. Those printed
under the Lung Emperors at Hang
chow were celebrated for their bsa u
| ty; those of Western China came
next, and those of Fokhein last
Movable types of copper and lead
were tried about the same tim e;
but it was thought that mistakes
were more numerous than with them
and the fixei blocks were prepared.
Paper made from cotton was tried,
but it was found so expensive th at
the bamboe-made paper held its
ground. In the Sung dynasty, the
method was also tried of engraving
on soft clay AMI afterward hardening
it by baking. The separate charac-
ters were not thicker than an ordi-
nary copper coin. Each of thrm
was in fact a sell. An iron plate
was prepared with facing of tur-
pentine, wax, and The ashes of burnt
paper. Over this was placed an iron
frame, in which the clay types were
set up until it was full. The whole
was then sufficiently heated to melt
the wax facing. An iron plate was
placed above the types, making them
! perfectly level, the wax being just
soft enough to allow the types to
sink into 1t to the proper depth.
This being done, it would be possible
to print several hundred or thousand
copies with great rapidity. Two
forms prepared in this way were
ready for the pressman's use, so tha'
when he had done with one he coul,.
proceed with the other withoat de-
lay. Here is undoubtedly the prin-
ciple of the printing press of Eu-
rope, although western prln tiers can
dispense with soft wax bed for
types and can obtain a level surface
without this device. Perhaps the
need of capital to lay in a STOCK of
types, the want of good type-metal
easily cut and sufficiently hard, an d
the superior beauty of the Chimes
characters when carved in wo ID
have prevented the wide employ
ment of the movable types whict
are so convenient for alohabetic writ
ing. The inventor of this mode IF
printing in movable types five ccniu-
ries before they were invented in
Europe, was named Pi shsng.
