Buying a Title.

Jay Gould's daughter is going to buy nerself a French count. He comes high but she must have him. She can afford to pay $15,000,000 for a title, although her French count Is higher priced than C’. P. Huntington’s daughter's German prince, who only cost $10,000,000. Poor girls, their riches are often their misfortune, for instead of marrjing honest men who love them for themselves, these girls get caught by fortune hunters with titles, and the happiness that even the poorest peasants enjoy are denied the women of millions, whose wealth is spent in purchasing and maintaining some titled rakes, and cruelty and misery brings years of misery te the women who sold themselves.—The Age, Chieafs.
