jy&CI~DEDMM, FYomsfdcMUlan's Magajttnn. ••Jii.m as an ugly bib of traveling,/-!. can WH you, over ' Binds Head, in my young flays* as lonesome a' place as any in the poantry round. And it weren’t for nothing •S.they gived the place to the Devil there’s the Devil’s Jumps over to Frensham, ■ Und his Punchbowl at your feet; and over | to the Downs you see his very markst-his elawaas where he grabbled as he fell. And the deeds-. done*round‘ about were his own and no mistake. * “Pmdhinhing now of a tale as is-not so known,as.it should be. That stone before ye tells ofthe poor sailor chap as was mur dered here, for his money, no doubt—com ing from Portsmouth he were; but no stone nor no book, so far as I know, has spoke for Haney Dedtnan. “Hers was a death indeed. I canlt speak, to the'partikiars, for I had it as‘it were handed down through ninety years and more; but I wWt tell you a lie if lean help it; and for all I haven’t it chapter and verse, its wonderful lifesome, too. “The Dedmans lived, when thev was to home, in a bit of a place in the Combe there You might pass within a yard of it and not see it, so grandfather said. They was of a Smuggling crew. There was a chain of them smugglers from Portsmouth all the way, and a wild set they was. They had the country on their side, though, and the coast guardses wag thought no better of than they deserved. There was two brothers, Dick and Joe Dedtnan, and their father; and Nancy was the one girl. She was a beauty by all accounts—very wild, too, and as as rare a one at smuggling as auy of them; and she would ride bareback on any horse, and be out all night and all day, and many's the time when she’s kept the coast guardses at bay, and done many a bit of business as wanted a woman’s wit and a man’s strength. “She must have been still a lass when there was news of a rare lot of spirits and baccy (it was the war time), and the word was passed along the line from Portsmouth to Hinde Head, and beyond, too, in course. And the King’s men got wind on it, and. they made ready for a fray—they thought os how they would break the neck of this smuggling business; more fools they; as if poor men were to be put down and denied their rights so easy-! Well, it seems as they’d planned to put so many at each of the smuggling posts, all ready— and they said they would settle all, and easy, too, excepting the Dedman lot, on account of Dick Dedman; he was a wonderful power of a man. They had a warrant agin him ever so long, but never could lay hand on him, nor find out where he put up. So one of the King’s men (a sharp young fellow, whose father was a farmer, but lately come over to this side of Godalming), he took the job. And he dropped down one day on Nancy Dedman |n the Combe, and made out as he were a tailor an his way to Lunnon; and he asked for, a bite and‘a drink. And she looked him up Bnd down, and her decidement were that he ment. no harm, so she asked him in tad gave it he. And he talked from ono to t’other of foreign parts and the wars; and Nancy, sne were terrible took up with it all; and he they said, a way with him, and he were an honest young chap, too, but for his trade. ‘Well, without so much as her finding out, she gets to tell he that she is alone till the night, till the old man come, and that he and the lads was away; Joe to Guilford and Dick to the mill over by Haslemere: he was but lately come back and keeping quiet; giving his wor*> , and every one was on his side and would not betray he to any of the Kings men—she, who was that sharp they called her ‘HawK-eyed Nance,’she were drawedon and on—and he wound up with more of his tales, and went on his way, leaving her a thinking on the Indies, and wishing she might see the sailor again. “But he, he went back to his mates, and they followed Dick up, and sure enough they nailed him at the mill, and he were 1 warranted and throw’d into jail. Well, the fray come off, and the coast guardses beat the smugglers all along the line, and Joe Dedman was killed in the fray, and the old man swore as he would track the traitor who told on Dick and take his life for his son Joe; for had Dick been there he would liave made one too manv for the devils of King’s men. Nancy hadn't a thought as how it were she; no, not when at the Has lemere Fairing she met’the sailor, who said as how he’d settled down with his father, old Farmer Kemp, to Godaiming—which was truth, for he’d giv’d up the coast- guardsing. “One way and another they was always meeting, aiid young Kemp he lost his heart to she, and they say as he told his father as he must have Nancy Dedman or he would be off to the war. The old fanner shook’d his head, but he could never give his son any denial, and when once he brought Nancy to see the old man, he said he were bound to confess that Nancy had the ways Df a lady, for ail sho were so brown, and was ft the Dedman lot. It make a deal of talk, butold Dedman. hetooknokeed, till one day —it were soon alter Dick come home; I never heard who gotten him out, but it were soon biter. Well, one day Nancy spoke up that he was going to get married and to young Parmer Kemp. There was a kick up! the bid man and Dick had set their minds to give Nancy to their crew at Portsmouth; to keep her in the trade, and to keep their selves fair with the head crew there. And the whole crew was mad after Nancy Ded tnan. Nancy stood to it that she’d marry young Kemp; and they gave her a time of ft! a reg’lar pei'secution as ever you lind in Pox’s Martyrs, short of the stake we’ll say. But Nancy were none of the kittle sort; the stood to her say—and one day when they were out of the house, but not far off, for they never loft she alone, Jim Kemp crawled in from among the bracken (she’d advertised he of the danger) and tells her as his father was just fedead, and be must have an end of this, and Kvill she fix the day! Ho said as how he’d come and fako her away by force if need be, he and some of his old mates; and as she Was puzzling how he could get a lot of sail ors, ail of a sudden (you see she know’d nought of the coastguard’s business) Dick looked in at the door! and his face was the devil’s own as it flashed to me that there Btood the man as hail nailed him in the mill Itnd had him to prison. And Nancy saw him; and Jim saw him, and turned milk white; Dick’s look was enough to curdle Vour very blood. ‘Traitor! Nance!’said he. 'so you wero a carrying on and we never knowd it! and it was you ns told on your own flesh und blood, and your father's curse nd miue, too’— “ ‘Hold there!' cried young Jim, hitting Dick on the mouth to stop his curses (they was afraid of curses there) ‘hold thero! She. never knew,’ and ho poured it all out as how it happened, and as how lie was always thinking on Nancy, and so giv’d up the Coastguardsing part on her account and port on his father’s. But afore he hail ended Dick wero gone and Nancy was all on a heap with nought to sav —but her look cut up young Jim and no mistake. I won’t Bay but ho deserved it—for he’d been double with her—through love on her, no doubt, but it’s allays best to be straight, and so he felt, too late, ami that had lie spoke truth when lie told his love he couldn't but ha lost her once, and liow he had lost her twice, and the losing on her respect were worse Uor the losing she. “Sho wore a wonderful power of a woman for all as was in her, and she’d lmd litt'e love except from Joe, and he wus dead. So Blie said to Jim sho forgave him, hut it wore oil to an end lietween they; she’d love him all her days, but she couldn’t wed her brother’s murderer. That wus all. “Well, the next on it was that when they found as she’d given he up they believed sho had nought to say to it, awl was kind to her Bgin; us kind at) they ever was, and that warn’t much; bur site was unaisy, and knew them too well to think as theyud lot Jim Kemp Is*. Whyevnr Dick hadn’t kllbsi him tliei’e and the!, she could not toll. But one bight she ware to lied, and sho hoard somo nu coxae in to thermal next; her room were but a lean- to* und they slc_>t in tint big l oom. And she heard a deal of whispering, and ts>k to drinking and their voices ( ets louder and louder, and she hears na “e> and ‘the night after next’ w!?,’ fr° m Weyhill Fair,’ and and ‘ten on us,’ and ‘the rest will be there to-morrow, we four and 8lX ’ ten-’ And then they gets 8X1(1w ko always kept his head, 8 ?" le one on ’em up, and turned him ; out into the shed, and all was still. Nancy knew now what was brewing. But how to Jtm? how to advertise he? He would oeoilto \\eyhill long before she could get she couldn’t get out without going through the room with Dick in it, or through the window into the shed with the ■ Strader there. Not that they was strangers, .for she know’d their voices; they was of the Portsmouth crew. “What should she do ? how should she save her lover ? for he was her lover, and she know and it. She know’d that though she could never wed with he, she could never love another. Mayhap there was som’at ( strange in her manners, for all she made as 'though she was cheerful like, or may be it wer.6 from his own knowing what was com ’ aa >: how Dick looked sharply after Nance all next day, and the day after too It were a hot, dry summer, and the days were long and there was a full moon that nightj and no doubt that was the more con vement; not but what the Dedmans could make their way blindfold anywhere over "b® country round, and all their crew, Dick went off somewhere to seven and said,, careless like, as Nancy had best not wait, for he and the old man had business aw ay, and would not be back till very late mayhap, mayhap earlier. Nanoe waited till he was gone, then she took her flint and steel and fastened the door, and went to the shed and took the nag (they had only left the old jnare); she didna’ wait to bridle she, but off she went as fast as the wind for Holder Hill, over to the sou’west from here. And she rode and rode and went upthehillun to the Beacon Point, and there was the bonfire all laid ready, as dry as tinder, and she struck and struck, and the third time she got a flame, and soon the beacon was blaziijg and no mistake; and she rode and she rode toward Blackdown until the poor beast could go no longer; so she got off and let her go. And Nance walked and walked, until all on a sudden the light sprung up on Blackdown, and ahe knew as sure as if she saw him that her trap had taken, that Jim had seen the fire on Holder, and instead of going home had turned off to light up Blackdown. “It was the war time, you see, and he were keen for the cause, and was the first once before to help light the signal. And she hurried on and came up to he, and he turned round and cried: ‘Why, Nancy, love, is it you { There’s been some victory, you may depend.’ And she, she were out of breath and could scarce speak; but she knew as sure as fate her brother and his crew would come after their prey. You see, they worked so long together, these Dedmans, one seemed to guess the other’s thoughts like; and she knew as when the time went by, and Jim did not come home, and they saw the light on Holder Hill, and sudden the light on Blackdown, they would guess as how it were Nancy; or maybe only think Jim was there instead of coming home. However it be, she felt they would follow up there, so she cried: ‘Fly, Jim! fly! as quicx as you can, down that way. No! not home! Be off, be off! away, as far as you can go. Take your horse and go! They’re after you to murder ye, and I lit the fire on Holder to turn you from going home. They be wait ing for you, and now maybe they’ll be fol lowing you up here. Give me your coat and hat Jim—see, I’ve none. I’m cold. And go,JiniT-go; I can’t go with you, Jim. Good by, Oh, lad, Ilove you, lad!’ And the stu pid, thick-headed fellow as he was,he took off his long riding coat and his slouch hat and puts them on Her, and takes her in his arms, and she gives him one kiss and' sends him off. He steals down as quiet as a mouse, untethers bis nag, and off he goes London way. And Nance? She stood with her arms folded, her face to the fire and her back to the path, so as her figure is seen up against the names in an uncertain kind of way. She was as tall as young Kemp, and she waited there to gain time for he—a de coy, we’ll say. She were half dazed with what she’d gone through, and a strange sort of awaiting feeling as kep’ her very still. At last she heirs them coming, and never stirs. And Dick, from behind, without writing a minute, or taking so much as a step for’arder, fires straight at her back, and she falls forward, and he fires again, and then they walked away, satisfied it were Jim Kemp, for they seed the coat and they never thought of Nancy. “Well, morning came, and as they went back and found the house empty they thought she’d given them the slip, and they laughed as how they had served her right; they little knew how they had served her. They wasn't long a laughing; the fires hail made a bestirment, and there they’d found Nancy Dedman —dead, shot twice through the back. And when they brought her in the old man fell down in a fit, but Dick ho said naught, only when they said, ‘Had Jim Kemp done.this foul deed?’ for nis papers was in his pockets, Dick said, ‘How should he know? He had allays told Nance to have naught to do with that devil Kemp.’ “There was an inquiry, but naught came of it. Old Dedham had another fit and died, and Dick went over the seas, they said. Farmer Kemp, young Jim as was, never come hack to settle. He sold up, and no body would have know’d a word about it only he come once, when he was getting in years, to look at Nancy’s grave at Hasle mere. “He told all as he know’d to the sexton, Mr. Keeling, and years after, Dick came as a stranger ami asked for the grave of Nancy Dedman, as he had a fancy to see. Though he was an okl gray man, much beshakon and with naught about he to speak of murder, Mr. Keeling, as was a’ways one with two pair of eyes, do term.ned on seeing justice done, and he tracks the man to the inn, and brings the parson, who was magistrate into the bar gain. But the parson found a broken down old man, and he would not make any bestir; it were too long ago, he said. And aforo Dick Dedman died he and the parson were the best of friends, and from Dick parson had it all. After Dick diet! ho felled Mr. Keeling, who fitted in his part, and so it was told and told again, and the tale was well known when I was a boy, though nobody speaks of it now.” How Cabinet Meetings Are Con ducted. From an Interview with an ex-Cabinet Officer. “What is the process in a Cabinet meet ing of beginning the business? Docs the President go through his Cabinet with a system, or do they just walk around and have a confab?” “No. President Arthur, when the time arrived for Cabinet conference, took his seat at the bead of his table. Ho would turn to the Secretary of State and say: ‘Mr Secretary of State, is there anything in your department requiring our atten tion?’ If the Secretary of State parsed, ho would sav: ‘Mr. Secretary of the Treasury, or ‘Mr. Attorney General, have you some thing we should attend to?’ In that way he went the rouuds, calling every man by Ills official title. Sometimes the first man asked would bring up a question, that would take up the entire time of the meeting. At other times there would be no questions in any department requiring attention. Oft n political questions would take the place of more official business. A government i* much more of a political organization than outsiders believe. The President mvites to his Cabinet those men who represent their partv as well as their roiiiitey. °f course the political discussion is in tho light of public business as well.' 1 Most Remarkable In its effects and useful in its application, the fragrant BOZODONT has become the most popular dentifrice in existence, ’ll* used and praised by everybody.

JUNE 26. 1887—TWELVE PAGES., A FALSE SHAME. A Boat Load of Very Modest Young Ladies. From the yew Orleans Picayune. It would be well if young women were taught early in life that there is a false shame and an affectation of modesty os un lovely as any coarseness, and which disgusts and repels as effectively as brazonness. To be on the qui vive for inunendoes, to have a smart faculty for extracting the bitters of evil from any good, is all wrong and all immodest. To see harm where harm is not intended is immod est. The young woman who thought she would die of shame because some gen tlemen came into the gallery where she was alone with the statue of the Venus of Milo, who fell into confusion and blushed mighti ly, advertised a modesty that was possibly only skin deep. A blush is something sacred to pure wo manhood, and it is a sad spectacle for thoughtful eyes to note a young woman so far gone in the improprieties that, she pre tends to be shocked at things which simple, unaffected candor is far from thinking on at all. There alo otherwise modest and virtuous young ladies who manage to convey by suit tie insinuations that they are deeply con scious of sounds and scenes which a truly modest woman would ignore. It is true in deed, as a great writer has said, that a mod est woman must be at times both deaf and blind. Disagreeable happenings, offensive to eyes or ears, are at tunes incidental to almost every one's life. The most sheltered young lady- cannot be entirely pi-otected. She may find herself in places where pro fane language reaches her eai-s, where ob jectionable sights greet her ey-es. It is then the time for her modesty to take on an ar mor of dignity-; it is the time for her to be both deaf and blind. Wtoeq Mrs. James Brown Potter recited “ ’Ostler Joe” in Mrs. Secretary Whitney's drawing-t : oom two winters ago, and made the sensation of her life, she was less im modest than the guests who listened. Young ladies whose scant coi-sages failed to cover their shoulder-blades put up their fans and declared they would die of shame, and could scarcely wait until the piece was ended to talk it over with the gentlemen and ask them if it was not “too horribly immodest to endure.” Nothing is more suggestive of a really bold and vulgar mind than to blush behind y a fan, peering between the sticks sharply to see if any one has noticed the blush. Mode ty, refined feelings and tastes are not things of which to be proud. One should not be proud that one is virtuous, or hon est, or truthful, or benevolent. It has often happened at Dr. Cbaille’s in valuable lectures on physiology that the Doctor used some very plain words in ad dressing his audience. Straightway there would be young women present who gig gled, who began chewing their handker chiefs in an agony of embarrassment, who made eyes at each other, and also made sure that the medical students present took note of what they were doing. Dr. Chaille was at his noble work of trying to teach such young women to understand the marvelous human caskets in which are enshrined their shallow souls, but more than once his earn estness was confronted and overcome by such a silly, sickly demonstration of affec ted modesty. The day for such women, if it ever ex isted, has gone by forever. We want our women to be innocent but not ignorant. Ignorance is only less unlovely than im modesty. There are many things in life that young women ought to know of, and which, if they did know, they would regard as great sol emn truths too sacred to be giggled over, and simpered at, which are not proper sub jects for conversation, but whicn none the less exist, and should be well comprehended. For a young woman.or a young man either, there is no safety in ignorance. The mother assumes unwarranted responsibility who leaves her innocent growing girls and boys to be educated in the mysteries of life by unthinking outsiders. Florence Nightingale was not afflicted by mock modesty, yot a woman of finer or deeper virtue never lived. The pure-minded Sisters of Charity spend all their days in the Charity hospital, where they attend wounded men, assist at the births of babies, fulfill the noble duties of ministering angels without blushing. It is possible, however, that their pure, pale faces would crimson indeed if they could see the manners and hear the words of some of our mock-modest young women. A pitiful case of this inock-modesty occur red right here at home last week. One after noon a party of young ladies and gentlemen went out sailing on the lake. A squall came up and as they were hastening in to shore they were hailed by some gentlemen whose boat had capsized and who, in danger of drown ing, were clinging for life to its slippery sides. It seems that these young men had been out for a deep sea bath and wore con sequently nude. Owing to the storm they had been in the water lor a long while and one of the number was seized with cramps and his alarmed companions thought he would die before help caino. Now any 10- year-old child who has ever tucked up his pantalets and gon6 wading in a creek knows that a person Peing in the water and seized with cramps will probably die if not res cued. As the yacht came up to the dis tressed bathers they explained their situa tion to those on her and begged that the sick man might be taken aboard and a boat lie sent from West End to their own relief. But the mock-modest young ladies giggled and blushed, and I dare say peeped between the sticks of their fans, while vowing and de claring that they couldn’t think of such a thing. They giggled again but aid not think to look the other way and expressed themselves as horrified at the bnre idea of rescuing a nude man from death. They had no thought for tho suffering of the groaning young follow down in the water being upheld by his anxious, dismayed and exhausted companions. They were too busy giggling and commenting on the awfully embarrassing fact that the gentleman who desired to come on board hadn’t his ward robe with him. No, they would rather ho died than be saved by them in'his nude con dition, and finally tho yacht, freighted with enough sham sentiment and mock modesty to sink it to the very bottom in a mile deep of ocean water, sailed off, compromising be tween tho proprieties and a common hu manity by promising to send help from West End. It was not the fault of those young women whoever they were, whatever they are, that, the men they abandoned, did not die before help came, but it is their some hon est men and modest had a lesson in sham purity and inno cence and a disgusting siiiie rior refinement and virtue net soon forget. Would Florence Xlgbtinguj|. Clara Barton, would any really inghlWM kind woman havo acted an these young women acted f In their - person* they shamed womanhood, by their silly affectations, they proved themselves unworthy of a sex who are nothing if not divinely kind and helpful to those In ilistress. Such modesty as this grows loosely in the soil, and it were bettor that the ugly weed were uprooted and flung far away. Constant rubbing cannot wear off the delicate lyie of the sea shell, nor can the real purity of mind, the reul modepty of refined womanhood be more easily worn away. Mock modesty is twin sister to that cancer hearted virtue which consists in not beiug found out. Persons who affect it ure so cial “suspects.” Beware of it, young women, lxxiau.se it deceives no one, and be cause if you do not, young men who are in search of lovely wives will beware of you. In his latest novel Mr. William Hiack draws the portrait of a girl who is almost the ideal gentlewoman. Iso human being ill distress suffered if she could relieve him. Khe could bandage a wound or set a broken leg, and she did if bravely, quietly, mod estly. Much a girl belongs to a glorious typo, compand to affected, gum-chewing, giggling gii'Ls. who do not know enough to turn their heads the other way and be blind when decency, and humanity, and modesty demand.
