The Great Cattle Range.

The great plateau between the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierras, comprising
the territory of Utah and the state OF
Nevada, is apparently destined to be-
come the greatest cattle-range in the
country. Already immense tracts of
land, some embracing nearly two hun
dred and fifty thousand acres. have
been purchased, and owners of large
herds in Texas and other southwestern
states are looking for ranges in this
wide section of natural pasture-land.
The pressure of settlers who wish to en-
gage in agriculture and found homes
upon the lands in the great fertile plains
of the west and south has begun to
crowd out the cattle kings who have for
years monOpolized the largest part of
the states which by nature are better
fitted for the raising of crops than for
the pasturagc of herds. Thus there has
begun hegira of cattlemen toward the
west, which bids fair to aid materially
in the development of those great sec
tons of our country that have hitherto
been left almost exclusively in the hands
of Indians and peripatetic gold-hunteIs s..
This movement of stockmen toward the
west is a matter of considerable import
ance to the people of this coast, for the
region which will be appropriated by
them is by nature tributary to Cali
fornia, which should be benefited by the
establishment of great moneyed in
'nrests in a locality from which up TO
this time little benefit compared with
the extent of country has been derived.
The cattlemen are also the precursors of
the husbandman, who, when a country
has become to some extent settled,
would readily seek in it opportunities
for agriculture; and it may confidently
be expected that there will, before many
years are passed, be more agricultural
land discovered in Utah and Nevada
than has been believed to exist there.

Why He Never Married.

People have often wondered that a
man of Mr.. Tilden's vast wealth, do
nestle tastes. and political prominence
remained Il bachelor all his life. RumOr
has it that during his college days at
the New York University he met and
loved the daughter of one of the leading
Democratic statesmen of that time. She
was a beautiful girl, charming alike in
the graces of her person and in her in
teuectuality. Her beauty and wit at
tracted many sutOrS, but MIR. Tilden S

versatiOnalist and had lofty aspirations,

that the beautiful girl pledged her heart
and fortunes TO his Keeping. They were
engaged to be married i'm the spring of
lS47, the year after Mr.. I'ildcn had be-
come a member of the State Legisla-
ture. She accompanied her father to
Washington, where he went To spend
the winter of that year in looking after
government matters in which he was
interested. While there she was a great
favorite in society and entered heartily
into all its pleasures. In the month of
March she was stricken with brain
fever, which left her hopeless I'M

Not many years ago he formed an at
tachment for n daughter of the late
Prof. S. +. ID. Morse and offered her his
heart and hand. The lady did not
look with favor on his suit, although
the advantages of the connection were
SO great and it was so warmly advo-
Gated by her own family. MIR. Iilden's
proposal was twice declined. But his
want of success made no difference in
the friendly feelings of the parties con-
