WHERE ARE THE GOLD WATCHES ?-The
question "What becomes of all the pins z"
now sinks into insignifcance beside another
inquiry of more serious moment, What has
become of all the gold watches? This coun-
try has been famous for these glittering time
pieces Not well-to-do- gentleman in any
part of the land but had his gold ticker;
they were an Indispensable portion of
young lady's daily attire; and even bearolless
boys were eager to possess the coveted treas
ure and could not wait for it until they
came to mans estate. But, unfortunately for
the happy owners of these elegant articles,
the eye of the greedy taX-gatherer was caught
by their glitter, and they were to be- made to
contribute to the national revenue. Any
gold watch in use worth less than one hum
dred dollars, was to be charged one dollar,
and when valued at over one hundred dollars
was to pay two dollars tax per annum. At
this precise moment, by u singular coinci-
dence, a large part of the gold watches in
many States disappeared from record. The
sudden vanishing of SO much valuable prop
erty should be matter of public concern,
and we desire to direct toward it the atten-
ton of all who are interested, in the hope OF
obtaining some explanation of this remarka-
BILE phenomenon. The following, from the
latest official return of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue exhibits the extent of this
startling loss, and may partially aid in its
| recovery:

that Stewart is an Irishman, not far from
sixty years of age, about five feet ten
inches in height, with sandy hair and yell
low goatee, rather stylish in his appear
ance and makeup, and gentlemanlyin his
manners to every body whom he thinks it
worth while to be civil to. His clerks,
however, seldom see any evidence of his
having any of the milk of human kind
ness in his ~cocoanut. He ia the owner of
more real estate than Astor, and in such
investments rather inclines to m~onopoliZe
large blocks of property such as will at
onoe appreciate from the very fact of his
ownership of them. He owns nearly all
of Bleecker street from Broadway to Sui
livan street-including that once stylish
line Of palaces, Depau Row. Then he owns
the Metropolitan Hotel, which he bought
of the Van Rensselaers for $3.50, 900. From
this sizeable pile he receives about $780,
900 a year as rent, and he would have no
difficulty in selling it for a million dollars
to-day. His uptown store and its con-
nections occupy the most of q block, and
his removal thfther sent all the property
in the vicinity up at a bound to almost
double its previous price. Down town,
his wholesale store on Broadway, Cham
bers and Reade streets, is million-dollar
property although the entire cost of the
lots and the marble palace upon them
could not have. been over S4O0, 600. At
the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty
fourth street he is building a marble resi-
dence, which viii outyiein exterior beauty
and interior appointments any private
residence in America. 1t is of white
marble, abundantly ornamented with
columns, capitals and carved work, and
as an indication of theinside work, I may
whisper in your ear that the staiTsOays
alone are estimated to cost some sixty
thousand dollars. But I stop TO take
breath.

that the annals of the Inebriste Asylum

the fact that drunkenness is by no means

to 1884 there has been 7,145 applications
for places, from every State in the Union,

were elergymen, s Judges, 1871 lawyers,
