''Thc art of jugglcry has not advanced
much within the last twenty-five years,
painfully admitted a superannuatec
wizard to y reporter. indeed, 1t Ia:
nearly all been thoroughly exposed
and the very minute methods by which
wond .rfuI results were attained appear
now as easy as making q coin disappear
from the closed fist. SO much for sci
cnce and civilization. .
What Will be the result, do you
think
Some OF the results are palpablc now
The old sleight-of hand man has almost
passed away. The wonderful cabinet OF
spirits, which at one time astoniShed
the world, it has been proven, was
nothing more nor less than u trick III
which confcderates participated. Heller,
iloudin and the Davenport brothers all
were exposed. What IS left for the pro
fessionals to 90 is the question. They
cannot all turn sword swallowers, or
knife thrOWcrs. because that requires q
lifetime OF practice. some new dc
parturcS will have to be taken in which
the cabinet does not appear, and the
tricks of i:Oudin and Heller are omitted.
This is essentially the age of realism,
and therefore tie tricks in jugglery will
have to far succeed IL cleyerncss any
that we have ever seen produced. When
a wizard has a stage of his own he can
produce startling effects which defy
superficial investigation.
''f3ut the time has arrived when super
fetal investigation is never carried on,
but instead such searching and pro
found one is performed that the little
apparatus designed to assist arc taken
into consideration and removed. The
game is cfIectually blocked. Heller,
with his wonderful memory, could do
many strange tricks, and Houdin was
considered wonderful by the learned,
and supernatural by the ignorant. All
they both did is perfectly plain now.
Some new method, in nay opinion, as
sisted by science and electricity, will in
few years lie discovered to delude and
create speculation as the cabinet and
many other tricks did for many years
The horse-play iugglcry of the present
doesn't amount to much. The Japanase
do astonishing tricks, but there is moth
ing mysterious about them, since their
tricks depend altogether on their per
soral agility and years of constant prac-
tice.
''All Of the tricks and iucelcry of the
present fiaJ must give way. II no longer

The First Shot at Shiloh.
Rockford (IlIs.) Register.l

James Williams, the barber, had at
one time valuable relic of the battle OF
Shiloh. James enlisted in this city in
1861, ana for two years was with Col.
G. L. Ncviu5. Gems. Wallace and Ran
som and Col Eevius messed together,
and occupied the same quarters.
one morning, while at pittsburg
Landing, Con. isansom was being
shaved by Mr. Williams The other of
ficers were lounging about in the vicin-
ity when all of II sudden small cannon
bal was fred from the cnemy'S works
and coming in the vicinity of where Mr..
Williams stood, struck horse attached
TO an ambulance and cut one of the ami
mails limbs off Williams secured the
ball and taking off tie cap withdrew the
charge OF powder. The iron missile
weighed eight pounds, and had it struck
Just right would have exploded with
terrible results. VI illiam5 returned
home soon after the battle and brought
the ball with him.
That was tho first shot from the
enemy at the opening of the battle OF >hi-
loi, and little did that group of officers
and men dream of the terrible results
that We're soon to follow on that day,
and tho interesting controversies that
would come up in after years. Will
Jams used the common ball rs u block
for his door, and told his many friends
of the relic which he had secured, but
one day the ball WAS missing. Some
entcrprising relic hunter had sc00pcl
it up and taken it away Williams says
if he had the ball now he would not sell
it for its weight in gold.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Testing the Constitutionality
of the Law.
STEAD COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.
Only a Hoax-A Little WARRIOR
Neutrality-suspicious.
The Turf-Etc.
The Civil Service.

NEW YORK, September 26.-The quo
warranto proceedings of James A.
Hinckley, against Dorman B. Eaton,
Leroy D. Thoman and John NJ. Greg
Dry, CIVIL Service commissioners, came
up before Judge Wallace, in the United
States Circuit Court this morning.
Hinckley asked leave to begin an action
to remove the commissioners and
abolish the commission on the ground
of unconstltutionality. The court room
was crowded with friends and enemies
of Civil Service reform. United States
District Attorney Dorsheimer and
Dorman B. Eaton appeared for the
commissioners. while Morris s. Miller
represented Hinckley. In opening,
Dorsheimer said the case was an inn
portant one, and, as all parties intel
ested were present, he thought it
should be disposed of. Judge Wallace
decided to hear the motion after the
call of the regular calendar. Miller,
when Hinckley's case was called, de-
manded to know who appeared for all
these defendants. He said the District
Attorney, and by direction of the
President of the United States, Miller
objected to the commissioners being
represented by a government Official.
Dorsheimer then moved the court to de.
eide whether or not the argument
should b : confined only to the consti-
tutional jurisdiction of the court. He
said he was instructed to say that he
and the Attorney-Generalw were prepared
to defend the constitutionality of the
act appointing the commissioners.
Judge Wallace sustained the motion.
In his argument Dorsheimer said: The
relator is citizen who seeks the abol
ishment OF the Office of commissioners
of civil service reform because the COM
missioners, by the powers con-
ferred upon them, usurped the rights
of the President to the appointing
power. The petitioner has no standing
in court because the right to the quo
warranto writ only applied to usurpation
of sovereign rights and the United
States alone could bring such an action
in the United States courts, and then
only through its appointed officers,
neither had the relator or his attorneys
been deputized by the Acknowledgement
to recommend such an action, and the
United States alone had the right to
test the constitutionality of the act
providing for the Commissioners. 10
bring the action properly. he nam
tanned, the Ielator should have applied
to the executive and to the judicial
authority.
In reply, Counsellor Miller contended
on behalf of Relator Hinckley, that his
client had statutory right to apply for
the writ for the citizen created the con-
stitution, ami my client as a citizen
has the right to avail himself OF all Its
