temperate in the use of liquor for some years
and had made earnest efforts to reform, but
one method caused his death. Instead Of IL

MRS. LIFTS STOCK RANGE.

Among the passengers on the
steamship City OF Berlin, which sail
ed 9th for London, 10 Mrs. Eliza
beth Tiff, widow of the late |. w
Tiff, who owned the largest cattle
range 10 the United States, known
as tho Tiff Range, in Colorado. Mr.,
Tiff died three years a1o, and his
estate was valued at $1,000, 900. -
He was born ia GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
and was one of the pioneers 10 cat
tie raising in Colorado. He began
about seventeen years ago. on small
capital and, by constant accessions
of land, finally owned tract one
hundred miles wide, extending from
Greeley, Col, to Juiesburg, on the
Union Pacific Railroad. A branch
of the Union Pacific is built through
the range, specially for its accommo-
dation.
The range is divided into thirteen
ranches AT each ranch are quar-
ters for portion of the forty six
men who take care of the entire
range, and corrals where the stock
is gathered to be branded, aud where
the horses are kept in winter. The
Union Pacific road takes out $lS,.
600 worth of supplies every year,
and brings away from $4,000 to
1000 head of cattle every season.
valued at $26 per head. At the
time of the death of Mr. Lift he had
10000 head of cattle on the range.
The average number of calves was
$500 year. The herds require no
care, but Craze their own food the
year round. When the weather is
inclement they seek shelter in Chalk
Bluffs, or some of the woody re-
treats. Generally the grass is sufii,
cient the year round, and it is the
best for food when dried. Water is
plentifully supplied by Platte River,
the Crow and Little Crow. In se~
we're winters, like the last, many
cattle die, bat the average loss is
less than "a per cent. Mr.. Tiff took
pains to improve the breed OF his
stock and his brand, which consisted
of monogram of his initials, was
well known in Europe, whence a
great deal of his stock, consisting of
Herefords, Utahs, and short horns,
was shipped. During the seventeen
years of his ownership of this range,
Mr.. Tiff shipped over 200, 700 head
of cattle to the East. Some of these
were sent to New York and Phila'
delphia as an experiment, but the
market finally settled in Chicago,
700 miles distant.

HEAn1Ne WIFE ans HANps.

The EIberton Gazette says, Mr..
Abe Anderson, Of Ebert county,
has a son who is unfortunately deaf
mute, but to whom nature seems to
be lavishly trying to supply this de.
6ciency by ocular traits in under
standing the conversation Of those
around him. He has been in at
tendance one year, we believe, at
he Cave Spring institute, and Of
course talks readily by the signs
taught in that institute, and this is
the only means be has OF making
himself understood but his pecu-
liarity consists in the manner of un~
derstanding others. He understands
from the motions of the lips, almost
everything said in his presence, and,
rarest of all, if in the dark where he
cannot see, by placing his hand on
the speak ers lips, he readily reads
every word spoken. Sleeping with
his brother. he at night gets him to
recount the events of the day, and
with bis hand on his brothers lips
he reads correctly all that is said
II is often said that nature is liberal
to supply deficiencies in one direc-
ton by increased power in another,
but we don't remember to have ever
heard of so remarkable an instance
of the old DANES kindness.

ment that bill will be- introduced
into the legislature at it's July ses'
sion to exempt from levy and sale
for the next three years all cereal
crops produced in this State, and all
provisions of any kind, together with
all live stock The object of the bill
is declared to be mot to impair the
obligation of any contract heretofore
made, but to stay executions on all
farm products except lint cotton for
the years 1881, 1882 and 1883. 1t
is easy to see the design of this
measure 1t is to furnish the farmer
a way of escape from the snsres
which he himself has set for his own
