Wealth and leisure among the very rich men
A New York corresp examines how the super rich live with simplicity, noting estate strain and social demands on figures like Cornelius Vanderbilt. A Pennsylvanian passenger recounts a ride encounter with a tombstone business seeker. The column also surveys early chimneys, German telegraphs, French theaters, a logic puzzle on exceptions, wool selling advice, Yankee usage of “guess,” and a reflective poem on life and duty.
