The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1872-04-18

We have very faithfully chronicled from
time to time the exploits in crossing the
Leayenworth bridge. The two ladies who
crossed on the narrow pathway ofpianks were
accorded due honor, ard the papers from
abroad sang of their nerve. The lady that
c.lianily dashed across On horseback when
the floor was only built TO half its width, was
written into fame by THE TIMES, and like
wise the FIRST engine, and the frs. train OF
cars were mentioned. 1t is now our very
pleasant duty TO announce the crossing OF the
first drove Of sheep. We congratulate the
owners on the safety OF their mutton, and
their exhibition of enterprise. This is not an
empty honor. 1t is no ''great cry with little
wool" but bona Rde importation of sheep
from Platte County to..Leavenworth. While
crossing, two or three old rams walked to the
edge, looked over, and very sensihly recolled.
The sheep belonged to Thos. Newly & Co.,
Of this city and were purchased by the firm
in Platte County, Mo. The toll collected
amounted to about two cents per mutton-head.

The New York Tribune says that
the Liberal watchword all over the
Union is eve can Win!'
The Democratic State Executive
Committee of Ohio, have issued a
stirring appeal. They say:
"Should both Ohio and Peunsyl-
vania 60 for Grant, the chances are
still in favor of Greeley's election.
If Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, and Indiana, are added to
those border and Southern States
which are certain for Greeley, this
will give him a clear majority. We
have already, by a glorious and
aggressive fight, forced the Grant
party to its knees, and can conquer
it in November. Fellow-Democrats,
work till November, heartily and
The Liberals will take
care of themselves" )"
The Liberal Republican Execu-
tive Committee Of Ohio exhibits
the same spirit.

DEATH OF "FANNY FERN Sara
Payson Parton, popularity known
as Fanny Fern" died at her resi-
dence, in New York, on Thursday.
Though she has left few enduring
literary works, she has earned with
! her pen wide celebrity. Born in
Portland, Maine, in 1911, she seems
to have passed through somewhat
stormy and cloudy girlhood and
womanhood, and passed into a ma
ture life before she made au entrance
into the field of literature. She
was a descendant of two old Puri-
tan families Of New England, and,
in common with her brother, n. P.
Willis, the well-known poet, inher-
tied from her father and mother a
large share of her mental power
and genius. She was educated at
Hartford, Conn.,, by Miss Catherine
4 Beecher, and was recognized as a
clever young lady, high spirited and
eccentric, and addicted to mischiev-
Gus and comical escapades. While
vet young, and soon after leaving
school. she married Mr.. Eldridge,
of Boston. After the birth of three
children, she was left widow and
in somewhat embarrassed circum-
stances. !. Of these straits came her
first literary venture, and in 1851
she offered an essay, signed ''Fanny
Fern, to one of the literary week
lies Of Boston. 1t was accepted,
and acceptable, for the great reading
public Immediately demanded
more, and "Fanny Fern grew into
fame and favor. These leaflets
were gathered into volume with
the title of 'Fern Leaves and had
a great sale, no less than $4,000

@Little Ferns for Fanny's Little
Friends" her next book, had a
fair sale, and second series of the

a wider circle Of readers than ever
the unhappy notoriety of its prede

novels were the only ones whicl
"Fanny Fern" ever published; they
provoked much criticism, and were
read by thousands who sought il
their pages the same vivacity which
had been the charm of. her less pre-
tentious writings.
In 1855, the subject OF this sketcl
was married to Mr.. James Parton

ter and dessayist. Since her marriage

MIR. VOORHEES, on his Defeat.

A letter received in Washington
from Mr.. voorhees,, duted at Terre
Haute, October IA, says that he does
not regret his defeatf for Congress, but
is glad to be remitted to the practice
of his profession, which is more gen.
ial and lucrative. AS to the causes
of his defeat, Mr.. VOORHEES, says he
foresaw it when he said that the Dem
ocrats could not organize in the short
time given them before the election,
and that it was simply the stay-at-
home vote in his party that beat him
and hurt the cause everywhere.
Nobody thought there was posslbil-
ity of his defeat, and over COINCIDENCE
led hundreds to stay away from the
polls. He writes as follows in regard
to the Liberal movement:
A word or two now about the
movement itself: 1t is right in its
principles and objocts-a movement
designed to restore self.government
to the people of the South, and to
relieve them from thieves and pirates !;
to bring about general amnesty, peace
and reconciliation between the sections
to purify the departments of the
Government now infested by plum
dering rings engaged in the civil ser,
vice Of the country; q movement, l
sac, contemplating such results as
these cannot fail to enlist my Jealous
and unfalterfng support Allow me
to say a word also on another point.
MIR. Greeley has personally raised
himself in this canvass a thousand
fold in my estimation. His course
has been all that could be desired,
and l believe he would, if eleoted, be
perfectly qrue to the purpose he has
SO granlly proclaimed in his unrlvaI, |,
ed addresses ia the public. l shall
vote for him in November, not only
unhesitatingly, but with pleasure, as
man who has established his claims
to my admiration, notwithstanding
my strong previous prejudices.

Bowen ELECTED SHERIFF. All
the Radical politicians in the city
were on tip-toe yesterday, until it
was positively known that Bowen
had beaten Mackey by several hun
dred majority. In the city, Mackey
has a majority of 1,S49, but in the
country precincts Bowen has at
least $500 majority. The indica-
tions are that Mr.. Williaman is
elected Clerk of Oourt, and that
Mr.. G. I. Cunningham is slected
County Commissioner. The rest
of the ticket is badly cut up, and it
cannot be certainly known what
candidates for the Legislature are
elected, until the official reports
come in from the parishes.-Char-

ST. AIMS ON THE HEIGHTS.
Sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Packer


There was not large congregation at st. AIMS
church on the Heights yesterday morning, from the
fact that large number Of the members are at
present out OF town. The pulpit was occupied by
the Rev. Mr.. Packer, the Rev Mr.. Schenck being
absent on his vacation.
After singing and the reading of the morning les
sons the Rev. Mr.. Packer discOursed from the fol-
lowing text :And Jabez called on the God Of Israel
saying, Oh that Thou wouldst bless ME indeed and
enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be
with me, and that Thou wouldst keep me from cvl
that II may not erleve me. And God granted him
that which he requested" q. Chronicles w.. TO-,
This was one OF the few prayers in the Scriptures
which was earnest and importunate. Very little
was known Of the history of the family OF Jabcz. 1t
would appear that at the time Of his birth his
mother was a widow, and that his birth reminded
her of her widowhood. She was in afiction, and
while in this state OF feeling gave him this sorrow
iul name. She drank from the cup OF sorrow. 1t

Jabez called upon the God OF Israel. He went
to Him with q feeling of love, though led
by necessity, and he called upon Him, meaning just
what he said. There was a fervOr in the Oriental
temperament, expressed by the feeling rather than
intellect. In the beginning Of the prayer Of Jabez
there seemed to be doubt, and every one who had
prayed could appreciate this doubt. lie first asks
God to bless hun, and then his soul rises to
the necessity OF having Gods helping hand.
Many persons pray TO God for the success
OF unreasonable plans, and if all their
Of trouble and misery. Many asked God to favor
plans which they would not reveal to man. Jahez
asked more especially that God would enlarge his
coast that God would nerve his arm and strengthen
his heart. His desi was to have Gods hand
with him. This the religion of
common sense. Jabez had planned cam
pagn, and its key note was Gods help.
so, ike Jabez, let us be all that God
intended We should be. We should turn to God as
he did, and ask His blessing. Then by Gods help
we can face these inevitable evils OF life. There
have been three ways OF meeting the evils OF the
world One was TO suppress our feelings of suffer
ing Another was to cowardly run away and re-
treat from them and the third way was to go to
God pr relief He pledges His Almighty
word that troubles shall not overcome those who
look TO Him. Jabez showed himself a Christian
philosopher, and Gods hand was with him. God
would show us how success and failure depended
upon something more than chance. In that final
day we shall see how the weak was strong In The
end, and how Jabcz the sorrowful was nI OF the
