Rich Mems An1usements

A Correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record, writing from New York city,
tells how some rich Gothanites amuse
themselves:
Some years ago I sat one evening
reading volume of Prescott's histories
in the library of rich Wall street man,
who was a bank president at thirty,
when he came in and asked me if |
really enjoyed reading such books Ee
added that he found it impossible to in
tcrest himself in any OF the hundreds of
volumes he had purchased. though he
had tried hard to do 80 "Whcn l take
them up" he said, Il see nothing but
rows of stock quotations on every page
This gentleman died at forty, and
left large fortune as the price Of
his life-a fortune which his family has
since dissipated. Had he had anything
to occupy his mind ort>id" of his office
and when he left Wall street he might
have lived to enjoy the pleasure Of
spending the million he had made. In
almost every case some special amuse-
ment or point of relaxation is sanitary
necessity for the business man whose
brain is racked by the concentrated
pressure of his six hours of daily "strect"
labor. Jay Gould is diligent reader
of books and cultivator of exotics.
Vanderbilt never opens a book, but his
horses and stables serve to freshen up
his intellect. John Jacob Aston climbs
to the top of his house and in a secluded
sanctum hammers away at some me-
chanical inventions that are to revolu-
tionize the Industrial world that is to
say, if they are ever perfected.

Professor Peabody, of Illinois, al
luding to the fact that a very large
proportion of the arabic lands once Of
fered for sale by the General Govern
ment are absorbed by railroads, settlers
or spectators says: "Long before the
next thirty years shall have ended, the
United States will not have for sale a
single acre of land which farmer could
afford to take as a gift, in comparison
with Illinois land at fifty dollars an
acre" This statement has agreat deal
of probability in it's favor if it is not ex-
act truth. The nomads are now wan
dering over sections that are only fit for
sheep pastures in search of farms and
homes, and it will not be long before q
reAuent wave will bring the best of them
back to the older and better sections
that are now so sparsely settled, while
Eastern immigrants will have. learned
that the cheapest land is often the
dearest. Let no good farmer be de-
ceiyed by the insane idea of cheap land.
That which is nearest markets, rail-
roads, good schools, churches, and is
good for diversified farming, is cheaper
at $50 per acre than its opposite IS at
1875. y Sos
