Among the passengers on the steam ship City of Berlin, which sails to-day foy London, is Mrs. Elizabeth lliff, widow of the late IT W. Uiff, who owned the largest cattle range in the United States, Irnown as the IlifT Range, in Colorado. Mr. lliff died three years ago, and his estate was valued at $1,000,000. lie was born in Zanesville, Ohio, and was one of the pioneers in cattle raising in Colorado, lie began about seventeen years ago, on small capital, and, by constant ac cessions of land, finally owned a tract one hundred miles wide, extending from Greeley, Col., to Julesburg, on the Union Pacific Railroad. A branch of the Union Pacific is built through the range, specially for its accommoda tion. The range is divided into thirteen ranches, the chief of which are River side, Pawnee, Crow Creek, Little Crow, lliff, Chalk Bluff, Julesburg, Paterson, and Wild Cat. At each ranch are quarters for a portion of the forty-six men who take care of the entire range, and corraU where the stock is gathered to be branded, and where the horses are kept in winter. The Union Pa cific road takes out SIB,OOO worth of supplies ever)'- year, and brings away from 12.000 to 14,000 head of cattle every season, valued at S2O per head. At the time of the death of Mr. lliff he had 40,000 head of cattle on the range. The average number of calves was 4,500 a year. The herds require no care, but graze their own food the year round. When the weather is in clement they seek shelter in Chalk Bluffs, or some of the woody retreats. Generally the grass is sufficient 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 severe winters, like the last, many cattle die, but the average loss is less than 7J per cent. Mr.-lliff took pains to improve the breed of his stock, and his brand, which consisted of a monogram of his initials, was well known in Europe, whence a great deal of his stock, consisting of Ilerefords, Utahs, and short horns, was shipped. During the seventeen years of his ownership of this range, Mr. lliff shipped over 200,000 head of cattle to the East. Some of these were sent to New York and Philadelphia as an experiment, but the market finally settled in Chicago, 700 miles distant. In the month of May what is called “ rounding up’’ begins. The cattle having been allowed to roam at will throughout the countr}' are herded and sorted according to their brands. Sometimes as many as 300 men are engaged in a round up. They sur round a certain traGt and drive the cattle to the centre until the sorting is complete, and the calves are brand ed with the names of the owners of the mothers. Disputes seldom occur among the cattle men as to ownership. If by chance a dealer finds a strange brand in his herd he keeps an account of it and makes return of the proceeds to the owner. Sometimes, indeed often, the first intimation the owner would have of the sale of his stock would be the reception of the proceeds. The Union Pacific Railroad supplies special cars for the shipment of cattle. The trip of 700 miles to Chicago occupies four days, during which the cattle are corralled, fed, and watered twice, so as to get them to market in good condition. The skipping begins in September and ends only when stopped by cold weather. On this vast range there is not enough vegetable food raised for the men and horses employed. A few potatoes are culti vated, but most of the grain and other food come from elsewhere. At first Mr. IliflT was somewhat troubled by Indians of the Ute. Cheyenne, and Pawnee tribes, who occasionally ran off his stock. Lat terly, however, there has been little trouble from this cause. Much of the land in the vicinity has been taken up for agricultural purposes and the Iliff range, which originally cost only alxut $2.50 per acre, is worth much more afler making its owner a millionaire. Some idea of the immense profits of the business may be gathered from the fact that it costs only alx>ut cents per head to care for the cattle a year. Mr. Iliff was the first to experiment with sending beef to the East in refrigerator cars. He lost a good deal of mouey in the effort and finally gave it up. lie was a man of strong will, a keen observer, and good judge of meu, and much respected in Colorado. He thought it a poor year when lie did not ship 12,000 or 14,000 hcadofcattle. He was one of the severest losers by the hard winters of 1870. He was a man of culture and refiued manners, gentle, yet firm, and it is said that lie never drank a glassof liquor. Within a week of his death his widow received condolence from every county in Colorado, and tle promise of all needed aid to settle her affairs. Her husband's managers, D. and J. W. Snyder, with her brother, John Fraser of Sterling, Col., have settled the estate. Mrs. Iliff chose to dispose of one half of iter j herd of 25,000 cattle to her husband’s \ associates, but it is her intention, if j her son adheres to his present desire I to follow the occupation of his father. to keep an interest in the range for him. Mrs. Hill has been much annoyed by a news paragraph styling her •• the Cattle Queen." Asa matter of fact, she never visited the range, but lived with her husband in Cheyenne. Mr. Ililf did not live at the ranches, but, with some of his many blooded horses, often drove to them to give directions. He was always present at the shipping season, his knowledge of stock making his personal superintendence valuable. Mrs. lliff is a refined lady. She still dresses plainly in deep mourning for hjr husband. For the past few days she has been staying at the Fifth Avenue Hotel with her three children. She visits Europe in company with Bishop Simpson of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Lucy E. McCormick, Coving ton, Ivy., writes : “My constitution was completely shattered by rheuma tism. I suffered intensely ; stimulants only gave me temporary relief. I tried Brown's Iron Bitters. It has cured mo completely, and I believe permanently. After using two bot ties, I felt better and stronger than ever I did in all my life before/’ Flashes of Fashion. Pale blondes cannot wear gray. Linen cuffs arc tilings of the past. Jet bangles remain in high fashion. Puffs iu the arm hole arc occasion ally seen. Very long pile plush is ranch used in millinery. Feather turbans are revived to a limited extent. Derby felts bid fair to remain a permanent fashion. New Derbies have low crowns and no roll to the brim. Untrimmed striped skirts will con tinue to be much worn. All sorts ofßhine crystal ornaments are in high favor. Ombre (shaded) stockings come in all the new colors. Hunting jackets in new forms con tinue to be fashionable. The hair is dressed close, flat, and with very little fluffiness. Wreaths of roses and other flowers are revived for ball coiffures. Spanish lace, both black and white, is as much the rage as ever. Cuffs arc made very deep, reaching sometimes almost to the elbow. All kinds of laces are fashionable, but Spanish lace takes the lead. No actual Fanchon bonnets have as yet appeared among new shapes. Yokes and collars simulating yokes appear on many imported costumes. Granite cloth is one of the hand somest fabrics shown for suitings. Coronet bands and combs set with Rhine crystal will be much worn. Floral garnitures and diadem wreaths are In demand for ball toilets. Many large pokes are tirnmed with a wreath of flowers within the brim. Cheviots in the new heather mix tures are seen both bordered and plain. Velvet, plush and fur bands will all be used for trimming midwinter suits. The majority of bonnets have very wide strings, but some have narrow ones. In mercantile invoices, all large bonnets are classed as.pokes, small ones cottages. Moire will be much used in combi nation with cashmere and other woolen stuffs. Cashmeres and cheviots continue to be the leading fabrics for ordinary wear. Among new watch trinkets and charms, the wishbone in gold and sil ver is seen. The Jersey is now used for fatigue costumes in the country or on long journeys. Bangle rings have pendants in the form of padlocks, horseshoes, bells and balls. Loose twisted chamois leather and undressed kid gloves are as much worn as ever. Copper and brickdust shades arc growing deeper and darker as the sea son advances. Derby felts, under new names and only slightly different forms, will again be worn. Peaked or pointed bodices with gathered scarf pauier draperies will be much worn. It takes very little of strqted no velty goods or plush to renovate a half worn dress. Moirc is as fashionable this winter as Surah was last, butSurarh is by no means discarded. Even when new skirts are round and clinging in effect, the draperies are extremely bouffant. Floral decorations, citlier of real or artificial flowers, are coming iu vogue for wedding cakes. Heavy double box-plaited cachings adorn tlic bottom of the skirt of many handsome costumes. Rhine crystal ornaments are now made so very fine as to simulate dia monds wonderfully well. Ombre de Burmah is a new cloth for ladies' suits, ft oomes with a wide 1 fancy border for trimming. Large collars are worn by children, girls in tlieic teens, young ladies, ma trons and elderly women. Red paper fishes with blue eyes are the latest novelty in Japanese hanging ornaments for rooms. Striped novelty fabrics with shot threads of gold iu hair lines are much used in composite costumes. Pretty fancy aprons are made of silk, satin and moire with trimmings of lace and aitlficial flowers Broad Byron collars, trimmed with Tunis lace laid on over the linen to look like embroidery, are worn. All sorts of felt., plush, and furry beaver hats and bonnets will be worn, but pokes are the first favorites. One of the most effective stripes in new colors is of orange with hair lines of gold and edged with black. Jackets are giving place to long dolmans, French pelisses, circle and Pompadour or Mother Hubbard cloaks. Moire and Surah are frequently combined in the same suit with one or more materials, and trimmings be sides. Pendant pockets of white satin and moire trimmed with Spanish lace make pretty additions to evening demi toilcts. 'Fhe rage for Japanese ornaments of all kinds for rooms, halls, parlors, chambers and boudoirs is on the in crease. Camel’s hair cloth, serges and anew light cloth called Rhadames are the leading woolen dress goods of the season. The two most charming heather mixtures in cheviots take the name of heather in sunshine and heather in shade. Silver gray silk trimmed with silver moire and steel and silver bead cm broideries, is a much admired combi nation. Feathers of all kinds, from whole and half birds, heads and wings, to ostrich plumes and tips are extremely fashionable. Among house decorations none arc so handsome as jardinieres of fine majolica filled with artificial leaf plants and flowers. The Tourtillon (cloud) tunic is a lato imported novelty on evening full dress toilets. It is of tulle or tarlatan, or gauzy stuffs. Velvet, plush, and novelty ribbons are used to make bansome hanging pockets or reticules that can be worn with any dress. Basques of moire, in black and in dark colors, in blue, plum, bottle-green and maroon, will be worn with skirts of various kinds. Over dresses and all draperies arc looped high giving the nanier effect around the hips, and the rooster tail effect in the back. Among other fashionable pendant ornaments for rooms are quaint, odd shaped little baskets of split bamboo —Japanese, of corse. Wall papers are now brought out in imitation of tapestries, including even the famous Gobelins, which arc admi rably imitated. Large, very large bonnets are the most fashionable, but small and me dium sizes and cottage and turbau shapes continue in vogue. Neck-kerchiefs of foulard and Surah have lace borders appliqued on with gold thread chain-stitch embroidery, inclosing floral designs. New stockings come in healthcr mixtures, in stripes hair-lined with gold threads, and also plain in the new and fashionable colors. Lacc is used to an enormaus extent in trimming all sorts of winter gar ments—dresses, wraps, fichus for house wear, basques and jackets. Buckles, clasps, slides and all sorts of ornaments in abalone or compressed mother of-pcarl, jet. silver and Rhine crystal, silver, steel and gilt will be much worn. The new woolen goods, striped with lines of plush, make very handsome accessory parts—cuffs, collars, revers. pockets and bands for plain, self colored all-wool suits. A fashionable bride is now attended to the altar by from eight to twelve bridesmaids, half of whom are little girls in short dresses, the other half young ladies in society. New velvet and plush brocades on satin grounds derive their shaded effects in the flowers and figures from cut and uncut pile, and from graded lengths of the pile, also from embossing or i rossing. Japanese lanterns of all styles and qualities, from simple paper to elegant silk and colored glass ones, are hung in the nooks and corners of the halls, drawingrooms and boudoirs of all fashionable houses. Large double-pronged gilt, silver and metallic pins resembling hair or bonnet pins, with an ornamented head, arc used to loop the draperies of skirls, and to fasten the front of basques on many imported dresses. Among other millinery novelties is a felt hat, with a deep brim and square crown, called tlic accordion crown. This consists of a four-cornered piece, stiflty lined, and resting upon folds of velvet or plush, which give the ac cordion effect. Here is a good way to make an old dress almost as good as new: Get enough of new striped or plaided novelty material, the gayer the better, and be sure to select one with metallic threads, and add this to tlie material of yoer old dress, if of plain sfcul£ io t!*e way of cuffs, collar, rovers, pockets, bauds, aud loops; or if the old material is striped or pi aided, get plush of an inexpensive quality, and of soc& a color as will harmonize or fisrmcm ou sly contrast with the old pLaids or stripes.

Last fa!!, writes a correspondent of the Ladies FI oval Cabinet , was par ticularly rich in bright-colored leaves. I entered into the business of preserv ing them with great ardor, and have been well repaid for my trouble. All winter my room was brilliant with their gay colors, and they are still as beautiful as when I broke them from the trees. When pressed, leaves of a solid color do not have as striking an effect as those witii green or yellow centres slightly touched with crimson on the edges. Young maple trees usually have brighter foliage than those of maturer growth. Oak leaves, if sought early, are sometimes found of great brilliancy, and these are particularly pretty r because of their graceful form. Handsomer decorative effects are produced with boughs or twigs than with detached leaves. Three or four graceful branches forfh a very hand some cornice for lace curtains, and there is no richer frame for a sombre old engraving than a few sprays of many-colorcjd maple leaves, or a clus ter of graceful oak leaves. The boughs themselves form a pretty picture if tastefully grouped and nailed against a white or delicately tinted wall. Quite large boughs may bo pressed between newspapers, two thicknesses of newspapers between each bough. The paper mxtst bo changed every day for about ten days, or tho leaves will mildew and lose all their brightness. Some people prefer coarse brown pa per, as that need be changed only once in two days. After the leaves are dry, sprinkle them with resin, and pass a hot iron rapidly over them. Be careful not to have the iron too hot, or the leaves will shrivel up, Resin gives a slight but very beautiful gloss to the leaves and preserves them better than pre pared varnish, linseed oil, paraflinc, and ice water.

No physicians or medicines did her any good; Three months ago she began to use llop Bit ters, with such good effect that she seems and feels young again, although over 70 years old. We think there is no other medicine fit to use in the family.” A lady in Providence, R. I. — Journal. Most persons who have tried, have found it very hard to please everybody. The story of the old man and his son and the ass has a counterpart in that told of Sir Roger de Covcrly. that when a boy he asked a man tlic way to St. Ann’s lane. For answer he was called a Popish cur, and asked who made Ann a saint. The next man lie met he asked the way to Ann’s lane, and was called a priekeared cur, and told that she had been a saint after he was hanged.
