Gulf Coast Progress.
If there is one thing more than
any other that Tampa is cursed
with, it is the effects of gossip and
scandal. Small towns and commu
mites are universally accredited
with this falling; but Tampa IN.
doubtedly can carry of first honors
In the State In this respect. There
are persons in our midst, who,
like buzzards in the trees, perpet-
ually watch for morsels TO pounce
upen, and when once crumb falls
into theirhungry grasp, their gloat.
ing e, es make it whole loaf.
They read, with wholly horror,
where murder in cold blood has
been committed, aud lift their
Pharisaical souls in thanksgiving
to think that such crime is never
theirs, but, without a blush OF gilt,
will willfully malign and socially
murder a fellow human being in
their midst, and gloat over it as
a moral victory. God help them
who fall under this band, this curse
of the gossip.
We are cognizant of the effects
Of scandal and gossip upon certain
personages and beings, ani now
particularly recall the late suicide
of a beautiful young lady in the
East, solely caused by the blasting
insinuations of these social vul-
lures.
We can quarantine contagious
and epidemical diseases and looth-
some engenderings; but not this.
That is something that noble wo-
manhood alone can quelch. Those
who listen to these utterings of
gossips and local scaudalmongers
are equal to the speakers, as their
listening is but an encouragement.
Let every one most streneously
turn deaf ear to what Mrs. A. has
to say to Mrs. b, or Mr.. b. of DIR.

that deserved the name of "damna.

Senator Lamar.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Senator Lamar, Of Mississippi, il
one of tho strong men OF the South
Thoughtful, studious, logical, in
formed, he never speaks III the sen
ate without commanding aud re
warding the attention of his audi
ence. Simple in style, impressive
in manner, direct in methods, he
handles every subject ably, and
contributes to its elucidation. lie
speaks seldom, but no man is bet
tor informed as to all the business
before the senate, or gives to every
pending subject of legislation n
more intelligent consideration.
The reserve OF his manners and in
frequency OF his speech Indicate no
inattention to all matters Of cur
rent legislation.
Mr.. Lamar has been leader OF
liberal opinion at the South since
the war. His thought and ener.
gies have been directed to bring
ing the sections more closely to-
gethor. lie has sought, by elimlna.
ting misjudgments Of each other,
to bring the people Of both sections
in truly fraternal relations. He
has "let the dead past bury the
dead.r He has appreciated the
present. He has looked to the fu-
ture, and this always in a right
manly fashion. He has made no
apologies or lamentations for the
part he and bis friends took In the
late war; but he has recognized its
and has acted and advised
accordingly.
Mr.. Lamar stands today, in the
opinion of the North, as the best
representative of the liberal, pro-
gresslye, active public sentiment Of
the. South. BY all parties he is
recognized as a true, trusted, aole
Democrat; but one who looks for
ward and not backward.
His reelection to the senate will
give profound satisfaction to the
North aud West. 1t will aid them
to rescue the States from the Stall
wart Republicans. 1t is the thing
which the partisan Republicans
will most hate.

Sunday shaving.

A Cleveland judge has decided
that shaving cannot be prohibited
on Sunday. The issue was upon
the right OF barber to shave his
custom ON Sunday. In closing his
charge, Judge Tildin said:
at has been very difficult tor
me to mark the distinction, In any
moral scnse, between the washing
and the shaving Of a mans face on
Sunday morning. Both are means
we employ for cleanliness. They
are q part of our moral duties, aud
if it be true that cleanliness Is
next to Godliness,' then the shaw
ing of ones self on Sunday morn.

very nearly into AN association

Stx-Barrcled Code.

Col. King, the Republican Green.
back fusion candidate for governor
in Mississippi, is charged with the
remark at o recent public meeting
that che and his friends intended
to see every one of their votes
placed in the ballot boxes and then
see them counted" relying less
upon "Campbell's coden than upon
a number of "little six.barreled
codes.n II this means anything, 1t
means that the fellows who have
been bowling themselves hoarse
about a full vote, a free ballot and
u fair count, have determined to
surround the ballot.boxes with
ruflians, armed with six shooters,
and thus deter quiet peace-loying
people from exercising theirright OF
franchise. Window Vt) Reformer.
Col. King, in his speech accepting
the Republican .Greenback "fusion'
nomination, used the language at
tributed to him by the Reformer in
the presence of both conventions
that nominated him, and o large
number of spectators who had as
sembled to see the show, He has
since made several speeches, but so
far has neither denied nor attempt
ed to explain or modify it. His OBJ
lection to the Campbell code is that
it contains a law, copied from an
Ohio statute, prescribing an exact
conformity in the paper, size and
print of the ballot. A large ma
jority of Col. Kings followers can
neither read nor write. and have
heretofore depended on a spread
eagle or other device for their par.
ty guidance. They want picture
or something Of the kind printed
on their ticket to enable them to
designate its party character, as
they care little what names are on
it, so it bears the impress OF their
party's behest.
This is what they call intelligent
voting, aud is what they mean by q
"free BALLOT By o "full vote"

be, should be equal to the number
of colored males over the age of

In 1879, while on visit with my

of three kittens nursed by their

The chick, q white fellow, was

and was seen teuderly carrying it

Ever since, it remains the adopt

Measuring Logs.

BY and all log rules, says the
LrmbermaH's Gazette, the diameter
of a log should be taken at the
small end, the small way across.
Ii Is customary with some scalers
where the log is fat to divide,
measuring midway between the
smallest and largest diameter, but
we know OF no warrant for so do.
ing. Some fiat logs will yield a
larger percentage of lumber than
is called for BY the smallest diane.
ter but as a rule there is no such
difference as to render it unjust for
the buyer to adhere to the we'll es.
tablished customs Of scaling. II
there is q gain to the buyer, il is no
more than will DO offset by unseen
defects in logs apparently sound.
All log rules are figured on the
basis Of a straight log. ira log
has a four inch crook, the scaler
should take tho diameter upon a
line drawn from the butt to the top,
touching the sap In the bottom OF
the bed.
If we were Illustrating this upon
the saw carriage, wo should run the
saw through the log so rs to
straightcn the hollow side, and so
that the next cut would give a piece
which would be exactly as thick
in the middle as ut tho two ends,
If the log is u bow, the cut upon
the other side would be nothing NJ
each end and thick in the middle.
The diameter OF q crooked log
should always DO taken between
two such straight lines, aud ii Il
log is "a inches in diameter at the
ends, and it takes Is inches to
square it, it should be measured as
a six iuch log. OF course If this
was in walnut or some valuable
wood where short lengths have a
market value, the rule may be modi-
fed under q mutual agreement, but
the rule is as is stated. To allow
for crooks and other defects in logs,
no set rules can be established,
which may not under certain cir.
cumstances be varied from. II is
purely q matter for the good judg.
ment OF the scaler.
All written rules of measurement
are predicted upon a perfectly
straight log, and any variation from
this condition brings in play the
scaler's judgment IN determining
what effect the defect has upon the
ability OF q sawyer to take the
given number of fcet of manufac.
turcd lumber from the log, We
are aware that in cases of
rot, some scalers claim to take the
diameter Of the defect from the
diameter of the log, but this is not
just, tor one in the outer circle Of
a log is vastly greater in amount
than one inch from the inner circle,
aud while a 10 inch rot in the end
Of q SO inch log II feet long, should
subject the log to q deduc
tion of II inches square or la feet,
. deduction of IL inches from the
diameter, reducing the log from
COZ down to 303 feet, a loss Of $50
feet, Is manifestly an injustice to
The seller. The proper rule for
scaling out defects is, in crooks
to straighten the log; in rots add
two inches to the diameter of the
rot, to allow for the damaged tim.
Der which is contiguous to the dc.
cayed wood, square it, and deduct
from the gross measurement of the
log.
