Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 December 1881 — Marrying a Title. [ARTICLE]

Marrying a Title.

National Republican. A lady belonging to the American nobility, now domiciled in Paris, is going to purchase the position of wife to a rakish old English earl, paying therefor the bulk of her great fortune. The venerable roue has a pedigree that hooks on to Noah. He is also proprietor of a shirt that was worn by Charles lat the time of his abbreviation. If this lady had good sense in matters ♦ matrimonial she would not take a step that has brought ruin to the lives and hopes of too many of her countrymen. An honest wood-sawyer is a better husband than a dissipated old earl—* and ever so much cheaper!
