There is io«e tiling uncomfortably lifelike about this appiration al first glance. It is, however, a harmless effigy in bronx. ) and is set on guard at the door of tha apartment occupied by Mr. Hermau Oelrichs. Mr. Oelrieba bas a weak¬ liest for dogs and iowls of spirit, and has dane a great deal ta tncouraga tha breed. He is the most luxurious of the bachelor* to whoa# shelter the Cumberland is consecrated, and re. poses, when he is at home, ir» a suite of rooms that exteuds along tho en¬ tire Fifth areun# side of the houae, and that is considered the choicest in tbebailding. Here, ininiatered to by ait agile and adapt valet, one of the eligible bachelors of New York finds life worth living without, ap¬ parently, any necessity tor a diaaus- aton of tha now popular and serioaa problem, “Is marriage a failure?” Bachelorhood would, certainly, not seem to be a failure from Mr. Oel- rich’a experience; and yet those wha know httn hint that he has about mad* up his mind to renounce ill charms, and point, to the fact that be has put the lease and furnishings in¬ to *» agent’s hands for aale, in con¬ firmation. Whatever his reasoas for thia step may have been, Mr. Oel¬ richs is Certainly going to abandon the Cumberland and bus advertised his luxuiioas section of it to be the highest bidder’s pri2e. 1 noticed that in a list of “golden bachelors” recently given by a Sun* day paper the fortune, of Mr. Oel¬ richs was alaled at $2,000,000. A couple of hundred thousand ia, I fancy, Bearer the correct figure. From his agency he draws, 1 should imagine, an income of about $25, 000, which ia, after all, wot » very monstrous sum to breed dogs and cocks, sat! yachts and play at politics poo especially when its poe'easor ia as active and useful a figure in socie ty as Ur, Oelrieba.
