Washington, Not. 26.—Max O'Rell called upon the president yesterday. He was introduced by the French minister, M. Roustan, to Col. Lamont, and by him to the president. He was delighted with the absence of formality and was much surprised at the president's ease of manner and grace of action. He will be in New York to attend the meeting of authors who favor international copyrighting, and says that had his book, "John Bull MAX O'RELL. ahd His Island," been published with a copyright provision he would have made at least (10,000 on its sale at twenty centy a copy. Two hundred tliouiand of these books were sold, and "John Bull and His Daughters" also had a large sale. Max O'Rell called upon Mark Twain. He Bpeaks in the highest terms of both him and George W.

Another roason why it was right for tho disciples to do this was because Jesus was Lord of the Sabbath and had a right to let them do it. He made the Sabbath for the good of man, and ho made tho rules for keeping it. He was with tho disciples, and r.s their Lord and Master had a right to tell them what to do. LIVELY SKIRMISHING BETWEEN BIRD CITY AND WANO Brooklyn, Nov. 28.—Statements which were iuide yesterday by a member of the Iteeeher Monument committee render it ex- L-.-euingly doubtful that the Rev. Dr. Joseph I'urkor, of London, will preach in Plymouth church on Sunday, Dec. 4. At the time that Dr. Parker delivered his eulogy of Mr. Beecher in the Brooklyn Acndomy of SI usic he took occasion to assert frequently that his oration was a labor of love, given without money and without price. The friends of Mr. Beecher congratulated themselves on this, especially as the proceeds netted by the lecture amounted to $2,1)00, which sura was expected to go to swell the monununt fund. Miij. J. B. l'ond, Dr. Parker's manager, is reported to liavo said at the time that fully (2,000 hnd been tukon in, aud tha members of the fund committeo relied upon this statement as authoritative.OF AN OUTBREAK, New York, Nov. 26.—Emanuel Schwnb, surviving partner of the firm of Schwab & Son, lace importe:9, made au assignment yesterday without preferences, after confessing judgments amounting to (10,000. Jacob Schwab, the senior partner, was killed last Monday by falling through the hatchway of his lofts. The firm had been reported embarrassed before his doath, and the fact since revealed, that Mr. Schwab had about $100,- 000 insurance on his life, much of which was very recently taken out, causes some comment. The insurance is all in favor of Mrs. Schwab. Counsel for Emanuel Schwab was very indignant when these comments wert mentioned to-day. He said the assignment was wholly due to the fact that young Schwab did not feel equal to the task of extricating the business from its temporary en tanglements, as the senior partner had always managed it heretofore. The assignment was to protect all creditors impartially. The idea of Mr. Schwab having committed suioide was absurd. The liabilities of the firm were estimated by the counsel at not over $100,000, and the assets in stock and accounts were about $90,000. P. HAYS, D. 0., LL. D. For (he Honor of Being the County Sent.

Golden Text, Matt, xil, 19. Verses 10-13. After this kind and important talk and explanation to the Pharisees Jesus and his disciples went on to worship. The place where servico was held was called a synagogue. Finding a man there with a withered hand, tho Pharisees began again to talk about what was right to do on the Sabbath day. They said, Is it lawful to heal, etc. They were anxious to find fault with the blessed Josua, and it is a wonder his patience was not exhausted. But ho knew men and women would ask just sncli questions about tho Sabbath as long as tho world should last, and he kindly and patiently explained all about it, so that any one can understand who will honestly study tho words of Jesus. Instead of answering yes, of course it is, Josus asked them a question about their animals. If your sheep falls into a pit (or great hole), where it is likely to suffer or die, on tho Sabbath day, would you pull it out? Is not a man much better than a sheep? Worth more? Is it not more important to save a human being from suffering and from death thou to save a sheep) You se« then, it is lawful to do well on tho Sabbath days. Work3 of mcrey aro right on the Sabbath day. Capture the Court House. Paris, Nov. 20.—President Grevy still stubbornly resists the demands for his immediate resignation. The press unanimously condemns the prolongation of the crisis. Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—"The Past, Present and Future of the Knights of Labor," formed the subject of a lecture by General Master Workman T. V. Powderly ta*t evening in Industrial hall, in aid of the miners on strike in the anthracite coal region. The body of the hall was comfortably filled with Knights and their friends, among whom were many women. Mr. Powderly spoke without notes, and by no means confined himself to his subject. After denouncing monopoly as something that, if allowed to have its way, would make this land a living hell, and the most accursed under heaven, the speaker glanced at the early history of the Knight*, whose organization ho declared was "the strongest in point of number, intelligence and manhood of any -that ever blessed any country." We have here a remarkable indication of the poverty of Christ and his disciples. They do not seem to have been far away from the Habitations of men: yet they seem to have been so poor that this morning they had Mid no breakfast. Their plucking of these ears of corn was to satisfy hunger and not for amusement. In the Mosaic law this eating by the wayside was inado lawful, as we see in Deut. -xxiii, 35. This act of tho disciples was not petty stealing in tho light of this provision. It was no moro stealing than is the picking of tho small coal thrown out upon the waste dump of a coal mine by tho children of the neighborhood. Tho Pharisees do not raise tho question of thoft, but only tho question of Sabbath work. Bird City, Kan., Nov. 26.—Cheyenne county since Saturday last has been threatened with a renewal, on a small scale, of the bloody scenes of the '50s. Wano and Bird City nro two villages, each of about 800 population. They are the only two places in Cheyenne county which lay claim to the title ot a city, the other three places being merely trading points, consisting of a general storo, the storekeeper's residence and a blacksmith shop. There were noisy meetings in the Belleville and Montmartre quarters of Paris last night, and during the last few days Gen. Saussier, governor of the city, has trebled the strength of the garrison of the town by bringing in troops from the country. There are as yet no acuto fears of turbulence, but everybody is more or loss nervous about what next weex will bring forth. FrC m the first settlement of these two municipalities there has existed a rivalry of the b:tt rest kind. The two town plots were laid out by rival companies which were the outgrowth of one company which laid out towns. Between these two organizations after lhu split there existed the greatest hatred, und this feeling was transmitted in an intensified form to the towns themselves. Wano was laid out about a year before Bird City, mid when the move was made to establish the last named place, only four miles away from Wano, its inhabitants were very loud in expressions of ridicule and contempt. The projectors of the new metropolis, however, subdivided the prairie into lots, laid out streets, boomed the place in the most approved style and soon had a vigorous young village of 700 souls. The push and energy of the business men of Bird City was rewarded by a steady accretion of capital and enterprise, and it was soon able to boast of as large a population as its older rival. Up to the present time, however, the exact figures have not become known to any one but Waj. Pond and Dr. Parker. Repeated efforts on tho part of Fred W. Hinrichs, chairman of the committee having charge of tho Academy meeting, and Ripley Ropes, trciisurer of the fund, to obtain something definite from Maj. Pond have boon attended with no satisfactory result Congress will meet on Tuesday, and there now se-'ius to be a small chance that the Republicans will unite before that on a candidate for the presidency, though to-day, tomorrow and Monday will be devoted to strenuous efforts to get tbein into caucus. If it were not for the ''Vivo la Pologne" incident M. Floquet, in the event of President Grevy's resignation, would be pretty sure of election. He is the most distinct personality iu parliament, possibly excepting Jules Ferry. His hair is as white as snow, but ho is physically very vigorous and popular Leyond any other politician in cither house. Tho Sabbath.—In this lesson wo have set forth tho two types of lawful Sabbath work: works of necessity and works of mercy. After saying considerable about immigration and the necessity for restricting it to those ablo to understand the privileges of the country, Mr. Powderly turned to the troubles in this state, and said: The Arch Anarchist's Trial. Two things aro to be noted just hero. If tho Sabbath was to bo abolished, now was Christ's time to mako some indication of that fact. Neither here nor anywhere else does ho suggest that the Sabbath was a Mosaic institution, and therefore teAninated its observance with his coming. In all the Pharisees said its perpetuity is assumed; and its perpotuity is just as confidently assumed in all Christ said in reply. He did not discuss its existence and obligation, but commended and enforced both. He only discussed the right method of its observance. Maj. Pond said last night to a reporter that the receipts in question were in his possession, and would be turned over at the proper time. He had paid Dr. Parkor for his eulogy of Mr. Beccher just as ho paid him for his lectures. Dr. Parker would return to England on Dec. 10. His trip had been shortened because he could not stand truv l.ng. New York, Nov. 26.—The trial of Hen- Most for seditious utterances is progressing slowly. Yesterday a number of witnesses were introduced who swore that the prisoner had not used the language attributed to him. Mr. Howe announced that he would call Most to the stand as a witness in his own behalf before the close of the trial. The case may last till Wednesday next. DEATH OF GEN. LEAVENWORTH "A breaker is burned, and the telegraph conveys the news that the miners have burned it. 1 say that is a barefaced lie. The miners know better than to burn down a breaker which gives them their work. No miner ever burned a breaker in the entire length and breadth of Pennsylvania." Brief Sketch rof an Active and Distin- guished Career. Hero is tho rulo for us all. It is lawful to do well on tho Sabbath days. The Paix says that President Grevy will not resign before ho has placed the republic in a s fo position. It declares that the Orleans princes are very active, and warns Hepubiicans to reflect on the course they are taking. Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 26.—Gen. Ellas Warner Leavenworth, who died yesterday in this city, was a representative American and quite an historical figure in this state. He was born in Canaan, Columbia county, in 1803, was a graduate of Yale college, and studied law at Great Bavrington, Mass., in the office of the lata William Cullen Bryant. V. 14. The wicked Pharisees were angry with the blessed Jesus and wont away to consult how they might destroy him. Was that a work of necessity? Was it a work of mercy i Plotting and planning how to destroy a righteous man. Poor Pharisees, how self deceived and how wicked they were! Taking counsel how to destroy tho Son of God! How much wiser, better and happier wero thoso who believed on Jesus and tried to obey him. For Selling United Ireland. EX-SENATOR JONES, OF FLORIDA. Mr. Powdtrly then said that the government should take the coal fields for its own use, so that in case of war it should not be com ]Delled to rely upon corporations for the coal for its vessels to carry on warfare against the oneniy. He advocated the "governmeiit controlling and owning its own line of telegraph, and then branched off on the political party of the Knights of Labor, closing with the remark that the Knights of Labor was not going to pieces. Politicians bad been disappointed and dropped out. Dublin, Nov. 26.—Denis McNamara, a shopkeeper of Ennis, County Clare, has been sentenced to a week's imprisonment for selling copies of United Ireland, of which Mr. William O'Brien is the editor, and the selling of which has been proclaimed. This is the first instance in which a person has been prosecuted for selling the papers. He Heroines Wild Upon Hearing of a Subscription Paper. Le Paris says that M. Rouvier agreed to read President Grevy's message only on condition that the Jatter withdraw his accept ance of the resignation of the ministry. M. Rouvier reproached the president for accepting the ministry's resignation before the conversion operation had been concluded. Still further, verso 8 is a specific declaration of authority 011 his part over the Sabbath day. The spirit of antagonism grew with the development of the tCro towns, and more than once threatened to break out into armed hostility. There was a standing challenge between the youthful Wanoites and the rising generation of Bird City, and whenever a Wano boy met another boy it was considered a sufficient casus belli that he was from Bird City, and vice versa, and a collision was sure to follow. When the county was organized there was a fierce struggle between the two towns for the honor of being the county seat. After a hard fight Bird City triumphed, and Wano was wild with rage and disappointment. Although suffering a most humiliating defeat n this instance, it still retained sufficient Dolitical power to have the question of changing the county Beat submitted as often is the law would allow, and kept Bird City tonstantly on the qui vive to retain the fruit of its victory. • Detroit, Mich., Nov. 26.—The condition of ex-senator Joues grows more critical. Yesterday he broke out in a wild tirade against tho newspapers and his friends. W lien W. H. Hughes, editor of The Michigan Catholic, told him that friends were circulating a subscription for him, his rage knew no bounds. A crowd quickly collected, and it looked as though thero would be blood split. He began legal practice in Syracuse in 1827. He was the second mayor of that city, in 1849, and again in 1850. He was a member of the assembly in 1850, and again in 1857. In 1853 he was elected secretary of state. He was chosen a regent of the State university in 1861, and in the same year was appoiuted a commissioner on the part of the United States under the convention with New Grenada. He was a member of the state constitutional commission of 1872, and in 1S75 be was elected a member of congress, where he served with acknowledged ability and usefulness. When he retired from that field it was to make a place for Mr. Frank Hiscock, now United States senator. Dnring his long career he held many private and judicial trusts, was prominent in all public enterprises, and stood deservedly high in the estimation of a large circle of friends. Extremes.—Men aro very prone to run tc extremes. This is conspicuously shown in regard to tho Sabbath day. One class of people abolish it by saying that every day is holy and should be kept sacred. This, in experience, has simply resulted in destroying oil sacred Sabbath. Another class says that no day is holy, and that what is right on any day is right on every day. These also destroy the Sabbath by their laxity. Others still destroy it by the rigidity with which they exclude everything that requires bodily activity. This was the line of argument of these Pharisees. Plucking the ears of corn and eating required some physical exertio«. Christ, in his reply, covers two classes of labor, and justifies them as right upon the Sabbath. The one was that kind of labor roqui red for health and life. Such was the case of David when he entered into the house of God and did eat the shew bread. The ceremonial law would have prohibited him and his men. The law, however, was not the end of its own existence, but merely tho moans of grace to promote the spiritual life of thoso that kept ifc Therefore Christ justifies David, as God had previously justified him and his followers in this formal broach of tho law. We are not to make arrangements for extra work on tho Sabbath in the direction of providing food, and then justify it ou this plea, as is sometimes done by Sunday visits. But that work to provide food, which is reasonable and fairly unavoidable, is not improper on the Sabbath day. Tho Sabbath woll kept is ono of tho greatest blessings to men. I11 countries where they havo no Bible, or where but few have it, people pay no attention to this holy day. They work, they build, they visit, they buy and sell as 011 other days; and very painful it is to tho Christian heart to soo such a state ot thines.—Sunday School World. Councillor Valliant presided at a revolutionary meeting in the Salle de Fevrier last evening. Two thousand persons were present. Deputies Camelinat and Basly delivered violent speeches directed against M. Ferry. They declared that it was necessary for the people to march to the Hotel de Ville to prevent a king from going to the Tuil- Charged wltli Poisoning Her Children. Zanesville, O., Nov. 26.—The grand jury has relumed two indictments for murder in the first degree against Mrs. Anna Snoots for poisoning her children. Sheriff Bethel has been searching for her in the country over since Wednesday, and has not yet found her. She was out of jail under $5,000 bail. Mr.; Pon-derly was warmly applaudod as he closed his address. "Don't you advise me," he shouted. "Neither you nor your friends must direct my private affairs. I know what they will never know until I choose to divulge it. When the proper timo comes I will make such disclosures as will electrify the whole United States. It will make every hair on your head stand. I have held my peace for three years, and I will not speak until the time has coma Then every enemy of mino will be brought to a terrible accounting." THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS. "Young 87 s here,'' remarked Smith at his breakfast table New Year's morning. "Wlit'iw,1 "" papa?" -'Why, May, he's everywhere around I suppose.' "Then—I suppose his mamma don't mind his being out in the snow—ai I suppose she keeps a bottle of Dr Bull's Cough S/rup."  Resolutions were adoped declaring that the peoplo called upon the popular forces to organize themselves to venture everything against extortioners and traitors. The meeting dispersed with cries of ''Vive la Commune 1" There was no disorder. eries. A Circular That Will Doubtless Lead to a Prolonged Struggle. Jockey Spell man'* Fatal Injuries. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 26.—A strike, or a lockout, involving all the union brewery employes in the city is imminent. As each man wont to his work yesterday morning, he was handed a circular, signed by all the brewery firms of the city, announcing that as the Brewers' union had broken the agreement made last spring with the various brewing firms the Brewers' association had decided not to recognize the union in the future. As soon as the action of the Brewers' association was made known Richard Eisner, secretary of tho union telegraphed to the secretary of the National union at New York, explaining the situation and requesting him to lay the matter before the National executive board, who will have to order the strike in case that step is decided upon. Up to the present writing no nnswer had been received by tho Brewors' union from the executive board. A meeting of tho union was held last evening. The men are greatly excited ami the meeting was a lively one. The Brewers' union is the strongest labor organisation in tho city. It has 1,500 members. Of this ltumber 150, including 75 striking malstors, are out of employment. New York, Nov. 26.—The police were in formed last night by two women that Jockey Spellman's fatal injuries wero caused by his falling and striking his head on tho street pavement, while drunk and being lod along by the women who had been drinking with him during the night. It is reported that on M. Rouvier's advice to JM. Grevy, M. Wilson actually signed a letter of resignation in order to avoid endangering M. Grevy's position, but later, seeing that it would amount to an admission of M. Wilson's guilt, tho president and M. Wilson agreed to cancel the letter. On Friday last an election for county officials took place, and the question of the location of the county seat was again voted on. When the county commissioners met to canvass the vote a legal question arose which they decided to submit to Attorney General Bradford, and announced that the official canvass of the vote would not be completed until this opinion was received. This announcement in Wano fell like a spark of fire in a powder magazine. The Bird City men end the county commissioners were denounced in the most bitter terms. The universal sentiment in Wano was that the Bird City men, recognizing their defeat at the polls, had trumped up a spurious legal question as part of a scheme to outcount Wano and keep the county seat and county officials. The Wano men said this should be prevented at any cost, and that they proposed to have their rights if they had to fight for them. That night 150 men, under the leadership of John Reynolds, the candidate for sheriff on the Wano ticket, eaoh armed with Remington revolvers and a Winchester repeating rifle, rode to Bird City, hitched their horses in the court house square and took possession. When Saturday morning dawned the astonished citizens of Bird City saw the seat of justice transformed into an arsenal Clerks, with huge revolvers in their belts, were busy with the records, and armed men were keeping guard on the outside. When tho county officials came to enter upon their duties they were told that the returning board was making a canvass of the votes cast at the Friday election, and that no business wou d bo transacted in the court bouse until this work was completed. There were not wauting in Bird City plenty of men who were ready to adopt tho shotgun argument in case of an emergency, and were eager to employ it in tli's instance when their enemies had set the example. Accordingly they got together all tho arms and ammunition available in Bird City and sent to Benklemeu, a neighboring town in Nebraska, for more. With the munitions of war, however, came peacemakers, and theso, united with the more conservative citizens of Bird City, finally secured a postponement of hostilities until a conference could be held. A committee waited on the invaders and obtained from them a promise to vacate the court house yesterday and allow the present incumbents of county offices to return to their places. A friend of ex-Sonator Jones said last night that during his long and somewhat interesting talks with Jones he learned about the wonderfully mysterious conspiracy which the ex-senator felt was working against him. He has a firm belief that a syndicate, headed by James G. Blaine, and which consists of a number of leading newspapers, Dem 'eratic and Republican, politician* of prominenco, old friendB and enemies of his own, are seeking to compass his retirement from public life. He says he is too great a man for them. Every incident that he brings forward to prove this shows how ridiculous are his presumptions. Thirteen More Saved.

'JO.—At the banquet of the Benchers of tho Temple last night, the occasion of the termination of the Prince of Wales' year as treasurer, Minister Phelps proposed a toast to the prince, who returned the compliment in a flattering speech, oxpressing the hope, also, that tho present good feeling between England and America would long continue. Mr. Phelps, responding, referred to the kindness the Prince of Wales had shown to foreign representatives, and especially Americans, whether in a public or private capacity, who were worthy of the honor. New York, Nov. 26.—Stephen Massuga has confessed to the shooting of Conroy, who was found dead in his hack at Sing Sing. Massuga says there waB no cause for the murder. It was a drunken freak. Massuga and his two Hungurian companions are under arrest. Work in worshiping.—The other kind of work which the Saviour justifies is that involved in the worship of God. The priests did not rest on the Sabbath day, but went on with their work in the service of the temple. Christ's introduction of this additional illustration is an adroit answer to a form of the question which was not included in the objection made by the Pharisees, but was certain to como up. In his future church more or loss of effort would be involved in the work of his ministry; and that which is necessary for them in their work is as proper as tho necessary work of the priests in the temple. It is not unlawful work for the sexton to build the fires which are needful to make the house of God comfortable. THE SHIP YARD WORKERS. The Rev. Geo• H.

Probability that the Buffalo strike May From Politics to Matrimony, Lead to a General Suspension. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 20.—The labor troubles in the Buffalo shipyards are likely soon to widen into national prominence. A meeting of all the prominent dry dock companies along the lakes is called for Monday, the 28lh inst., in Cleveland. At this session five Cleveland companies will be represented, three from Chicago, two each from Detroit, Bay City, Port Huron and Buffalo, and one from Manitowoc and Milwaukee. The meet* ing will last a couple of days, or until their business is completed. Their chief business will be to settlo the ship yard labor trouble. It is reported that the K. of L. assemblies along tho lakes are supporting the Buffalo assembly during their idleness, and also furnishing them work. It is presumed that ilie object of the Clovelaud meeting is to initiate a general suspension of business among all the companies until the question is settled of employing union labor only. A strike similar to tho one in Buffalo is contemplated by tho K. of L. at Detroit, and from this united action of the ship building companies it looks as though ship building would be totally suspended in a short time. Lyons, N. Y., Nov. 36.—Nellie Lucretia Cooke and Willis H. Coon were married here Thursday. It was the most notable wedding in these ports for many years. Nellie was the Democratic standard bearer in the recent school commissionership campaign in this county, and made the hottest local political canvass ever known hero. When the young lady accepted the nomination Mr. Coon, a young Republican lawyer, hastened to her house and offered his services in the canvass. Miss Cooke was defeated, however, and three days after the election her engagement to Mr. Coon was announced. Starved Herself to Death.

Itcstitution After Twentv-two Years. Glassboro, N. J., Nov. 20.—William C. Heaton, of South Carolina, went to Philadelphia in 1865 and resided with his family at a hotel.

On Thursday, twentytwo years after the theft, he found a package on the floor of a shed adjoining his house.
