LINCOLN , Sept. 27. )
The oral opinion or Justices Maxwult niul
Cobb on the ronstltutloimllty of the net for
legislative apportionment , passed by tlio Inst
Kcncral assembly of the stiitc , wns given tills
morning. The cnso was brought by John
Singleton , of Sulino ( ounty , on n petition
praying for the issuance of u writ of mnndn-
inus to conii > ul John Van Duyn , county clerk
of said county , to call for tin election of three
representatives under the upiwrtlonmcntirct
of 18S1 , Instead of two members , at provided
by the act of ISST. As stated In to-day's HII : : ,
the action Involved the validity of the act of
the latter year , nnd canio before the court on
the demurrer of the respondent.
Tlio argument of counsel took place yester
day , Judge Abbott of Crete and Judge Gil
bert of York appearing for tlio relutor and
Judge Foss of Uioto for the respondent. The
demurrer win taken under advisement by
tlio court nt the close of tlio argument. Ibis
morning Judge Maxwell announced that the
couit would sustain the demurrer and deny
the writ.
Justice Maxwell said , In substance , though
gcnciul objection is taken bccnuso of the
omission of Sarpy county , that the legislative
apportionment act of 1887 , in the opinion of
the court , us to the thirty-thrco senators is
perfect , nnd as to the tiinoty-nino representa
tives no objection is made. Substantially ,
the one complaint before the court is that
Snrpy county la omitted from the body of the
net. The 6ourt had caiofnlly considered the
whole subject matter hero brought Into con
troversy. Under the former apportionment ,
that of IbSl , Surpy county is entitled to ono
representative , and , in the opinion of the
court , is still so entitled. The repealing clause
of the act of 1S37 repealed sections 1 nd 2 of
chapter 5 of the compiled statutes making
other provisions. Hence the general law ns
previously existing was repealed only by im
plication that is to say , by the now law
taking the plaro of the old. As he
had Hiild , under the act of 1831. Snrpy county
is entitled to ono representative , and as the
apportionment tnado by the latter act docs
not touch this part of the act , Surpy counay
under the law is yet entitled to one ropra
ficntatlvo , there being nothing in the new act
repealing or taking the place of this appor
tionment in the old act. The dcmurrei
would therefore bo sustained , nnd the writ
denied.
The effect of this decision appears to be
that the apportionment act of 1837 is good sc
far as it goo * , and is constitutional ; Bui
where it docs not roach that Is to the repre
Bontatlon of Sarpy county the old law lire
vails. The written opinion of the court , at
prepared by Judge Maxwell , will shortly be
handed iZown. The opinion will be that ol
Justices Maxwell and Cobb , the chief justice ,
Mr. rteeso , having abstained from sluing ii :
the case , for the reason that ho is a resldcnl
of the district specially affected by the lit !
( ration , and , therefore , ho said ho might no !
bo able to judge of the meriUt of tlio cast
without proudice. ] After the argument yes.
tcrday morning , Justices Maxwell nnd Oobl
spout the rest of the day in u careful exam
inution of the law and of the legislative rec
ords affecting the matter.

the prisoners and liberty has been most sue
cessfully spirited away. How it came inte
the hands of any ono of the jail birds is i
profound mystery. They evidently have
pals on the outside who stand ready to extend

they ? is the question. By the way , ditrini

on the person of ono of the jailed culprit ;
that was purclinscd at. Brown's ding store
but for what purpose is unknown unless ti
have been used in the event of n hand ti

In either event the acid could have beei
used withtolling effect. Sheriff Molick wil

clgnrotto nnd holding a bald-headed
baby in an old stovo-plpo hat. Beneath
n , truck on a mattress wore three
toddlers playing house and rating bread
and molasses , l.tvlor on the mattress
was set on fire by the police. Down
the street comes n thin little girl with a
sugar-bowl full of liquid tea in ono
hand and a pailof beer in the other. A
young woman with a face as white as
death , and her llp = i stained yellow with
Biiull or opium , Staggers along and
makes a lunge for the pull , hut missus it
nnd falls against the sohoolhou&o fence.
The llltlu girls hurrie.s on , and the

up against a telegraph post in ix man
with n lug and a half. The drunken
woman staggers up to him nnd asks for
"tho loan of a nickel. " Ho pushes her
away , xvhcrcat she swears some more ,
and blubs her war doun into a base
ment. Crowds of people , all neatly
drcsed , nnd most of them carrying
prayer-books , nro entering the Church
of the Transfiguration near by. In
front of thu church half n bcore of boys
are playing a sort of bhinnio called
"pus'-oy cat. ' ' and some twenty
Cinnamon in Sunday smocks
arc watching the game and
smoking cigarettes. On the stoop
of Qnong , Ching , Iling ft Co.'s grocery

whoso queue and mustache are gray ,
and a plump little white girl in soiled

ho sluiKow his head and says something
in Cliinoo , and the little ono takes it ,
for granted that ho doesn't want any
watermelon. Down the street u briico

story , and from the balcony in front
hang three red and yellow Chinese lan
terns and a porpondidular green sign ,
gilded down the micdlo with Chinese
characters. Within the restaurant sit
eight Chinamen eating rice and chicken.
The chicken is cut up into small
pieces , and the yellow men pick them
up with chopsticks , as a white man
picks up n piece of coal with tongs , and
give them a little toss intothoir months.
The rico is served in wide bowls. Knoh
Chinaman raises the boxvl close to his

mouth with a clumsy wooden spoon. In

The dinners wore conducted on primitive

whore the moat and game wore carvct

the guests took the ducks , the turkey

parts , conscious of critical oycs. A dinner
nor was n terrible ordeal for a youtif

llbwnn Atlventuros * Knsiinroil Iflch
Hut l-'oollsh Mon ,
Correspondence Chicago Herald :
Gotham is today paying tribute to a vast
legion of women who live upon the
folly , thu etrotlsm and the innate bru
tality of men. Police Inspector Wil
liams , who is beyond all question the
best authority upon the subject , esti
mates tholr number at 120,000. Ex-Supt.
Walling goes even higher , and puts the
figure lU.uUO beyond. The methods em
ployed by those women display a bo-
xyildcring novelty and ingenuity.
Some are practically blackmail , but
blackmail so delicate and artistic as not
to come within the law. Of those who
xvork this vein Iho most ingenious is a
siren about twenty-eight years of ngo ,
medium sized , handsomely proportioned
tioned , elegantly dressed , with
brilliant brunette face that would
command notice nnd admiration every
where. When "at xvork" she would
leave her homo at OiUO or 10 A. Jr. . and
take some thoroughfare frequented by
Iho merchants , bankers and wealthy
men In general. For dudes , actors and
professional "mashers" she had no
eye. But a portly , \x ell-clothed
man , whose mien and demeanor
suggested a prosperous paterfamilias ,
received her smile nnd boxv Iho moment
ho looked at her in half-recognition.
Twice in three times the bait took and
ho victim made her acquaintance.
'Yoin noxv on it xvas clo-ir sailing. She
Aould use all her powers of conversii-
ion to fascinate her noxx friend nnd xvas
ifUloin unsuccessful. Money xvas never
nentioncd. In reply to Iho queries ho
would naturally make she always gave
: ho same story. She was a widow , xvoll
) ornwoll educated , enjoying life and
pleasure , and having thanks to her
: tear dead husband's love and fore-
bought a limited income of $1,000 a
I'ear , ju-.t enough to support her in com-
rort. The story reassured her admirer ,
, vho in his heart had feared that his
.ioxv inamorata xvas anything hut xvlint
she said. With him she for the next
ivcok lunched , attended matinees and
ilrovo tnrough the p.irk anel on Iho
boulevard. In Iho mcanlimo she
> vorniod from him his homo and olllco
uldrcsi , Ihc names of his xvifo and
children and a hundred details in
ogard to his private life. When
LliiH xvas accomplished her next move
xvas to semi a begging letter , in which
she slated that her remittances xverejlo-
"aycd by litigation or cut pit by reason
: > f some corporation skipping its divi-
ilend , and wound up by a very neat and
alToctionato request for a loan of a sum
of money , anywhere from $100 to $500 ,
according to the pecuniary rcsponsibil- _
'ly of her prey. Once in three times
his would bring a financial return.
Txvlco it would not. Then came the
master stroke. With a coarse pen and
the blackest of ink she would xvrito a
'orvent love letter upon heavy white
.mpor. inclose it in the thinost and most
transparent steamer envelope , mail itto
"lim at his own house. It always began ,
'My Own Darling , " or "My Dearest
and Sxvcctest Love , " and ended , "Hop-
'np to lay your dear tired head again
upon my breast , Your LStllo Love ,
May. " There xvas not a single unkind
word in the letter. There xx-as a vast
amount of passionate love nnel a very
distant reference to the number of elol-
ars wanted. A near-sighted man could
read the compromising epistle through
the envelope. Much more readily
could a jealous xvifo or an in
quisitive sister or daughter. The
luckless man received the mis
sive at the breakfast. Ho recognized
the hand , read n do/.cn words through
the envelope , and then wont into a cold
perspiration. While in most cnscs the
relationship between the man and wo
man had been innocent , the letter bore
all the indicia of guilt , and in a divorce
court would have boon proof presump
tive against the husband. Its clTect xvas
terrific and instantaneous. He lost his
appetite for breakfast , and loft immodi-
atcly for his olllco or for the house of
his correspondent. Nine times in ton
the money was forthcoming , and in
many instances large sums xvoro paid to
compromise the matter and induce se
crecy. So far as known she began her
career in this line of business on Thir
teenth street , transferred it to Johnson
street , Brooklyn , near Minor's Brooklyn
Theater , and then xvont to Twenty-sixth
street , near Broadway. In all three
places she had magnificent rooms , kept
a txvo-horso coupe and xvoro clothes , diamonds
mends and jewelry worth $2,000 at least ,
Her first departure from Noxv York was
induced by Inspector , then Captain
James Campbell , of Iho First Precinct
anel her last in Noxv York by Hoxvo A
Hummel , the great criminal lawyers. .
In all those cases the \vould-bo victim ,
instead of being scared , xvaxcd xvrotli
and made confession to the police or tc
his counsel. The woman now resides
near Central Park , but does not scorn as
prosperous as before.

Hurdotte. Now when the nutumn
was como , it was HO lhat the land of
Burlington nnd Iho country around
about abounded with much npploj ,
so lhat the sound of the cider press
ceased not from morning oven unto the
night. And in the morning thu hus
bandman arose , nnd ho said , Go to , ap
ples is not worth much , but so much as
they will fetch I will have. And ho
laded up his wagon , nnd tilled its bctl
oven to overflowing with boll-llowors ,
and sook-no-furthors , and duchesses ,
spitzbergcns , nnd snow apples and rus
sets each after its kind. And when lie
was como nigh to the town , Lol three
town boys met him and spoke unto him
delicately , and said , Give us a napple.
And his heart was moved with good na
ture , and ho honrkoncd unto their
words , and said unto them , Yea , climb
in , nnd cat your lilt. And ns ho jour
neyed on ho mot two other boys. Anel
they waxed bold when they saw the
first three riding nnd eating apples ,
and they cried aloud , Olvo us snnpple.
And the man spake unto thum and said ,
Yea. And they elomo in. And
they spake not ono to an
other , neither diel they cease
to oat apples , saved when theiy paused
that they might take breath. And the
husbandman made merry nnd laughed
with himself to see them cat , and ho
said : IIo , hoi Ho , hoi But' the lads
laughed not , for they were busy. Noxv
Iho oldest of the lads was thirteen
d old , and the youngest thereof was
I n his ninth year. And they were ex
ceedingly lean nnd ill-fuvorod. And
when the husbandman was entered into
the city ho drove along the slreots. nnd
lifted up his voice and shouted aloud ,
Ap-pulls ! Ap-pulls ! Here's yor nigh-
scatinnnpplcs ! Ap-pulls ! Ap-pulls !
And Ihoomon of Iho city leaned over
the fences and said , ono to another ,
Lo ! another nipple wngin. Anel they
spake unto the man nnd said , Hastthou
of a verity good calin-napples ? And
ho said , Of a verity 1 have. Como forth.
And when they were como forth they
looked into his wagon , and they wore
wroth and cried out against him. And
they said , Thou hast mocked us and
them hast deceived thine handmaidens
with the words of thy mouth. Verily
thou hast naught : wherefore then dost
thou drive through the city
crying , Ap-pullsV And when
ho hud turned him around
and looked ho , was speechless.
And the women of the city cried , Go to ;
tire not thy words altogether lighter
than vanityV And..ho smote upon his
breast and sware upon them , saying , I
am a truthful man , and the son of a
truthful man. W.hon thy servant left
homo this morning there was even
thirty-seven bushels , of apples in the
wagon bud. Now there was naught in
the wagon save the live boys. Neither
xvas there so much.iis , one small apple.
And the husbandman ncckcel the lads ,
and entreated them roughly , for ho
said , What is it that yo have done ? For
ye have cast my apples into the street.
But the lads wept bitterly and said ,
Nay , not so. Are thy servants pigs that
they should do such a thing ? And ho
said , Declare unto mo , then , what thou
hast done with my apples. Ana the )
lads pointed at each other , oven each
one at his fellow , and they wept
and exclaimed with ono accord ,
Uo cat 'cm. And the husbandman
was wroth and would not behove
them. For ho wist not that the town
boy was a hollow clear into the ground.
Hut the women of the cily cried unto
him and said , How far is it the hxds
have ridden with theo ? And ho said ,
Even us far as a mile and a half. And
Iho women laughed and made merry
and said , Of a surely il is oven so as
tlio lads have said. They have eaten
up all the apples. And they made light
of it , ns though it had been n very
small thing for the lads to do. And the
husbandman marvelled greatly within
himsotf , for the live lads did not fill ono
small end of the xvagon. And it was so
that it was bcjrond his llneling out
whore the thirly-soven bushels of up-
pies had stowca themselves. So ho
turned him about and drove homo , and
ho commanded the lads that they fol-
loxv him not. And they hooted at him
and cast stones after him , even unto
the city gates , for such is the custom
and manner of Iho town boy. But the
husbandman spake not unto thorn , for
his mind was heavy with thinking of
this wonderful thing ho had scon.

Egyptian Temples.
Scribnor's Magazine : Neither the
boldest immagination nor the most exact -
act study can enable us lo form an ado-
qualo conception of the splendor of an
Egyptian temple in its perfect stale ,
The vast space it occupied ; its loftj
gateways ; the long avenues of sphinxes :
the glitluring obelisks and Iho lifelike
expression of Iho monstrous slalues
form a combination of raosl imposing
architectural grandeur. The tusthotU
qualities of those structures cannot bt
briefly summed up. As wo ponder thorr
wo shall bo willing to acknowledge , foi
wo shall discover , the exceptional coiv
slruclivo power of the ancient archi
tects ; wo shall BOOvhow closely they fol
lowed nature , and at tunes drew ns wol !
upon foreign art , though always preserving
serving their own principles of form
Wo shall also observe how fancy am
"fooling" nro displayed in their temple
decorations. Besides , there is nlxvnvi
ono grand imaginative vein running
through all their , xvork which expresses
presses Iho principal idea of their faltl
imperishability.
