John Vandercook describes the Fifth Avenue, New York, and mentions, among other singular facts, that vacant .lots appear along tho Avenuo which arc occupied by squatters, .mostly Irish, who keep a pig and a goat, “and reproduce the life of the Kerry hogs on tho richest thoroughfare in America.” It is also mentioned: that tho Rockefellers have never been received in New York society, and they entertain very litt]o. . They are plain people of quiet tastes, and And .their chief interests in Standard oil and the Baptist Church. Many whimsical stories aro told concerning tho Stock Exchange at play.
