eat assortments of Dress Goods, nclu-
ding beautiful Lawns at from seven to

AUDITOR Jumel has called
upon Sherifs throughout the State
to furnish complete list Of all
lands forfeited to the State for the
non-payment oftaxes. 1t will be
one of the important duties OF the
new General Assembly to pass an
enabling act by which the State
may sell all this vast accumulation
of property, and thus restore it to
the tax rolls, where it will bear its
due share in the support Of the
government. One feature OF the
new law will doubtless be the
privilege Of paying for this prop
erty in past due interest coupons,
baby bonds and warrants of yarl-
Gus kinds upon the Treasury which
now are unprovided for, and thus

LONDON FANCY FAIRS.
Got Up for Charity, They Rival Charity in
Covering Multitude of Sins.

Got Up for Charity, They Rival Charity in
Covering Multitude of Sins.
A writer in London Truth finds it curious
how eager we'll bred and sensible women are to
unsex themselves in the cause of charity. The
word goes forth that some hospital needs funds
and that a fancy fair is to be held in the inter
ests of the institution, and straightway off go
the women to paint their faces rouge their
cheeks, dye their hair, and to assume a slangy
and impudent tone, ready to do almost anything
so long as they are protected by the shield of
charity. Hear him.
ssThey will stand behind bar, and draw
beer, and mix gin cocktails; they assume
for the moment the leers and grimaces
of the orthodox Hebe of the counter, they
will listen without blush to the impudent at
tentions of any one who cares to come and
chaff them, and lead on men to say things
that they would not dare to say in a drawing
room or ball room. The drinking bar at fancy
fair is the most attractive incident of the show.
Women fight for places in the drink department,
and know perfectly well that in this section they
can carry on Irritation to a point that would be
impossible under any other conditions If not
drink dispensers or ice vendors, the most brazen-
faced women-the pink and pattern of propriety
at home attach themselves to flower stalls,
where they carry on to- their hearts content
They kiss roses for half-a-erown, pin gafdenias
in mems coats for five shillings and wink an
ogle all dayall in the cause Of charity. Some
there are who have not the telnpera-
ment to assume the sbold-faced Jig and to
sfirt and philander in public. They cannot
tout or sell with all the eyes Of
South Kensington upon them so they go out
foraging on their own account These are the
most seductive of the charitable sirenes. They
follow men into corners, offer their wares on the
sly, make eyes carefully concealed behind a
booth, and generally have good day of it, to
the gain Of some fashionable hospital and to the
loss of their own self-respect The guiding prin-
ciple Of all fancy fairs is surely in antagonisn
with all that is refined and modest Women in
