Jsdgs Hagner's Decision on the Civil Ser
Vice Mandamus Case.

There is joy in the Office Of the civil service
commission over the decision Of the Supreme
Court Of the District. rendered by.Justice ,Hag-
ner yesterday, as reported in last evenings
STAR. The decision was in the case of Sam
uei G. Spencer and dismissed the application
for writ Of mandamus to compel the comfnis-
sion to make known the result Of an examina-
don held for the New York custom service last
summer. The proceedings were wholly ex-
parte and the commission not represented
before the court In the opinion of the court
applicants counsel failed TO show that the
commission in canceling the examination had
not acted within the sphere of its duty. The
examination annulled because of irregu-
arities upon the part Of some Of the sppl-
cants-
The commission has heretofore on several
occasions cancelled examinations in which it
had reason 10 believe that fraud had been prac-
ticed but this is the first instance in which the
power of the courts has been invoked to pre-
vent the commission from exercising this
authority,

The inventors Of Printing.

The manuscripts found at FL Fayoum,
in Egypt, and owned by the Austrian
Archduke Rainer, prove TO be an mex
haustible source Of information, and
show the most surprising fact that print
ing with movable types was practised IN
Egypt in the ninth century Of Our era.
Two papyri dating from that time are
still existing, but from the following
century, the tenth, twenty-seven PRINT
in2s on paper have been found among the
Fsyoum collection. AS the contents OF
all of them are Of religious nature, II
would appear that printing was pracelseo
ouly.by priests, though the perfection II hao
ACQUIRED would lead one to suppose that
il must have been in use for some length
of time. During the Second Crusade
1147, printed paper money was Issued
/ for the North Of Syria, which, as 1t hat
been issued without control, soon grew
worthless From the papyri It "oul
also appear that the Government OF 'h
Caliph OF Bagdad was, so early as fsl
in possession OF : paper factory N -
latter town.
