o TO BE FOUND.



[AcolStoun" in Chicago Tribune.l
There are many resid nts Of New York,
welldressed, well-educated and upright, 50
far as is known, who never give their PR
ynte address, nor can il ever be found in this
directories. They may allnde 10 it in a gen-
eral way, as in Forty-dfth street, in Madi-
son avenue, or at Harlem: but, IL asked TO
particularize, they change the subject Other
men again have private addressel where
they never can be found, and where, If di-
rect inquiry be made 1t viii be ascertained
they do mo- live, These are generally board
i~ng-houses or lodging-ho houses, where these
precarious persons may have been at some
time-departed boarders or dodgers leave no
more trace than footprints on the sea-beach
but whose present whereabouts is wholly
unexpected.
1t is qnite common for men 10 assume to
have a home at Orange. Elizabeth, Newark,
Flushing, Jamaica, Garden City, fremont,
Rye, or at any Of the scores Of suburban
towns or villages that are mainly the domi-
tories OF the metropolis There is small dan
ger OF any one seeking them in those spots,
unless it be q woman in love with them or n
man anxious TO borrow money; for to be out
Of the city proper is very much like being out
Of the world. Some New Workers will not
permit their residence to be known 10 any

structed not 10 repeat it-because they dread
bores, borrowers, beggars and disagreeable
visitors, Of whose incursions dwellers on this
island are always in imminent peril. And
others Will not permit it for fear Of duns,
creditors, and other people that they have
reason to avoid. They are so irregular, 30
dishonest in their daily conduct, that 1t Is
neither 10 their interest nor convenience 10
have their retreat familiar.
But the reason why the majority OF the
Manufactures refuse to give their residences
is because these are so queer or so different
from they pretend to be. Most of them
are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., that Is, AS much as
men ever are-who preserve a certain sem
blance of prosperity that may be rather arti-
fetal. The places where they lodge are
palmer or humber than they would care to
have known; therefore they are kept secret.
A fellow who has credit with his tailor,
who swnggers at his club, who affects to be
learned about Burgundy wines, though he
has never tasted a drop OF the gen
uine, is unwilling that his acquaintance
should be aware that he occupies a
hall bedroom in Third avenue. A young
physician who prntes Of his rich patients
and his consu ltations with practitioners
Of national reputation conceals the fact that
he is obliged from poverty TO sleep on a
lounge in his office. The lawyer newly ar
rived from the country and fond of talking
OF his cases and clients, entirely imaginary,
prefers to nave it thought that he lives at
Plainield instead Of a rear cubby in Nassau
street.
Thus many men who depend on their wits
and future possibilities for their incomes are
i%ndisposed 10 reveal their home, which Is
with an American the spot that holds his
trunk. There are husbands and fathers, too,
who live so oddly, so unlike what you would
suppose from their assumption. that they
never furnish any definite information On
that score Their families are never visible,
and they never intend they shall be. Mum.
berless New Workers with unwedded wives,
have cause to conceal their peculiar domes-
ITCHY, and so claim fictitious abodel
