A CHANCE FOR BACHELORS.
The only surviving offspring of one o£ ojre wealthiest men is a girl aged 18, and she will some day .be the mistress of at least £100,000. The greatest care is taken to preserve this treasure from fortune-hunters, a dangerous-looking duenna accompanying the young lady in all heir rambles, and standing sentry while her charge is being instructed in the mysteries of French, G-erman, and music. Quite a number of young men have been " prospecting," but the old man will be satisfied with nothing less than a bank clerk or a Duke.
