All the church bells were run if in Salisbury 'uesdav morning in honor of the Centennial. We see that W. L. Swanson, deputy marshal for Caldwell and Alexander under CjI. Settle, has been re-appointed by Mr. Glenn. ! A paper or a public man al- j ways loaded with politics in this off year has an axe on. .his back. Look out for him at the grind stone. The Durham ice fac tor is turn mo; out near ten thousand pounds of ice a day, and vet the Plant and the Sun find it difficult to keen things cool. The cordial relations which ex ist among the newspaper men in Raleigh is a shining example, the light of which should radiate the profession ot journalism throughout the State Miss Mary I).

The Charlotte, X. C. 1 ispatcher or sensational stories to the nor thern press the Landmark thinks should be exposed and scourged through the streets at the tail of a cart. And if it's an o cart win not have the ox to run over him? A gun and a wagon. Here is food for thought. "Jim Long sold a big road wagon and a single barrel gun at auction, Mondav. The gun was about six feet long and brought three times as much as the wagon: the latter selling for$i." Concord N. C Times. A Coventor left. "It seems that while the train stopped in ' Washington, Coventor Fowle and Col.

Referring to the unkind allu sions by some of the State press to Mr. Kingsbury of the Wilming ton Star, the Wilson Advance sa-s; "The courtesy between the editors of Xortli Carolina con spicuous onlvfor its absence Let us all get on a higher plane." Amen to that Callie Corbin, a little orphan girjjjpt Brevard, X C, is not quite sir. years old and she has read through the Xeu Testament. That is commendable in little Callie and let us add that we trust little Callie knows how to make up a bed, clean up a room and make a good b'suit. If so, she ism the wav to the Xew Je rusalem. It is seldom that two men stav together continuously for eleven years, but that is what Messrs. Brown Ctley, of Raleigh, have done, and on a daily paper at that. The livening Visitor, their paper, is one of the best paving journals in the State and has a !lace in the affection of the citi zens of all classes in Raleigh that cannot be uprooted bv the most formidable rivals. The Ra eigh Christian Advocate says: "Judge Thurman's remark that Mr. Wanamaker is a 'pious cuss' is discreditable to both the head and heart of --uch a man as Judge Thttrman." To this the Raleigh Biblical Recorder replies: "Don't be so much grieved, broth er. Mr. Wanamaker turned over his religion long ago to Mr. Moo dv, and pavshim well to take care "f it." "O man, who art thou that iudgest" another man's religion? To his God he stands or falls. We are told that a Mr. Howran, a newspaper reporter in Charles ton, who "has had many mirac ulous escapes while under the in fluence of liquor." and who awhile back was connected with the Charlotte (N. C) Observer, has be?n converted and has started on the career of an evangelist. May he do good but we cannot help thinking that these writers and speakers in public life would the better bring forth fruits with patience did thev return to their homes." for awhile at least, and set their lights burning in the window, before flving to the world's rostrum. There is so much work to be done at home that we are prone as vain mortals to forget all about. fFor Thk Rkvikw. THE MURDERED WIFE. Ah, what a gay throng were assembled there then. When those two so solemnly plighted their troth : When insight of high heaven and wit nessed by man. He vowed he would cherish and love unto death. The bloom on her cheeks like twin roses blush there, And the joy in her eyes effulgent ap pears How long will the one stav unfading and fair. .'Mid the other remain urtbeclouded with tears? Her smiles doth seem. now like no cloud o'ercast. Nor ever such prospects of bliss meet a check": - -But, perennial, live on with no sorrow to blast. Or to cruelly make of that life a sad wreck. The finger on which there was placed the gold ring. The typical sign of the love thev had vowed. Ah, how long will that hand so confident ly cling. Rre beseeching, upraised, as if plead ing and cowed ? With a soul that seemed now to be free ot annov, And a nature as foreign to sadness, and tears. How hard to coneeive her lercft of al! joy. And who could have foretold such a future as hers '- He was worthy, at first, of the love he had won. And he meant, to the v.ws lie had made, to le frue. But a thir -t and a curse, which he strove not to shun. Soon supplanted all worth and love he once knew. The tears in her eve he will soon not obser e. Nor the looks of distress from her heart full of grief. Will he never again make any effort to soothe. Nor to solace with gentle and kindly relief. -Not the loveliness learning with jov in her face, Nor the love that those eyes and t hat soul could outpour, Heterred him him from blasting that life with a curse. For His soul to all pit is clu-ed like a dove. Ah ! the blight of her life, it was cruel and fast. And the pitiless shame that will crush her sad heart Will descend like a simoon to wither and blast- liven hope will take wings and forever ' depart. ih, the pity of leing lxth lody and soul By no fault of her own a sad victim of woe. To a brute of a man ' Io the fates, that control. The blind future, itist ourposelv des tine it so - Where smiles had once placed with th-.' dimples deep there. And chased away care from that ova'- shaped face. Whde joy sat enthrone 1 ani l all that was fair. Is a waste where the min of hope yi: can trace. Came the time when her heart was too full t 1 endure , 5 It was burdened with grief it could n . longer endure. So it broke with the hell thai was made for it here, liv the demon of torture il p;'o-.l ised so fair. In vain she mav call on her lod to toic fend . When the fates have decreed and have fixed her sad doom ' The last act ot the drama has come to an end. The curtain is down and the tragedv' done. She. was murdered bv fate in the shati. ot a man. Who pursued like a Nemesis wreaking a wrong. And the vengeance ne'er ceased till the victim was slain. While the murderer stalks undit nrbe I and unhung. 1. B. liu 1 , A state Ilii-h in lteiou riT..

Richmond State. nrl li I urn) tnit Zirruu I -pM,i t Probably the only place in America where zircon is regu larly mined is North Carolina. This mineral is in the shape of quadratic prisms and pyramids, light brown to black in color, and averaging about one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The mine re ferred to is on Green River, in Henderson county, and during the past summer as many as 200 men were employed in the mines. The crystals are found scatter ed through sand and gravel beds manv feet in depth, and are oh-., tained in a manner precisely like placer-minning for gold. The earth is thrown into long trough's ' br rockers, and vibrated from side to side, while a sluice of water passes through the. apparatus. The zircon being quite heavv, falls to the lxttom, and is re tained by the "rifles" or cleats across the bottom. After clean ing and drying, the crystals are subjected to the action of strong magneite to take out particles magnetic which may be among them and separated into sev eral grades, according to size and quality. The operatives are paid a de finite price per pound for each grade, and in many instances, thev find it very remunerative. The bulk of the mineral is con sumed bv the incandescent gas light burners, which promise to become a dangerous rival to the electric light. For this purpose the zircon is reduced to its base, zirconia, which is one ot the most refractory of all known sub stances A tubular cotton wick is saturated with the zirconia and suspended by means platinum wire, in a glass chimney, over the gas burner of the Ben sen type. When first ignited, all the com bustible material is at once con sumed, leaving a very delicate zirconian counterpart of the ori ginal wick. This incombustible mantle or hood of zirconia is glowing at a steady white heat ry the gas. and gives out a beautiful white light, perfectly steady, and much res embling the electric light. The hood or wick, is of course extreme ly durable. A constant use of over two thousand hours is said to leave the mantle in as good condition as at first. Popular Science Xews. All lujcmtr, Benjamin Harrison is occupy ing the Presidential chair to-day because W. W. Dudley's plan of buying up the "floaters" in' In diana was put up in operation Dudlev was not a member of the Executive Committee but he was sent to Xew York to act as the special representation of Mr. Harrison on the Committee. He had often done political work for. Harrison, who knew him well. He knew that Dudley would hes itate to do nothing that promised votes to his employer Harrison. In keeping with the instructions and encouragement of Harrison, Dudley advised the purchase of. votes in "blocks of five." and his advise was taken, and as conse quence. Harrison is now Presi dent. As soon as Dudley had done his work and Harrison was elect ed, then "Ben" became so exceed ingly conscientious that .he would not so much allow Dudley to call at the White House. He could not receive so corrupt a man after the election. He had received the stolen goods, but he turned and spurned the hand that accomplished the theft. Worse than that, even, is his attempt to pose as a "goody goodvi' man who had done so base a thing as buy votes.. The "pious cuss "as old Thurman called Wanamaker is perre tly willing to rece-ivi the fruits of purchased votes but he is not willinsr to stick to his "i)als." It has been said "there is honor among thieves" but surely this instancedisproves the old adage, for no man ever showed, baser ingratitude than Harrion has exhibited towards Dudleys-Wilson Advance. Harrison has appointed two negro women as postmasters m tnis 5iate. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

The following con densed account of the adoption of ihe Constitution, which we , take from the Fayetteville depart - ment of the Robesonian. will be ' f ootid interesting i The Constitution held in the : State.House at Fayetteville. where ! the market house now stands, on i November 21st. 1880. North Car- 4 flhna- wns tne hrst ot th 00 o. 1 aies to defy British oppression : and declare - herse'f a free and : independent State, and with the ; exception of Rhode Island the 1 last to adopt the Constitution of the Federation. 1 he Legis'ature, ! which was in session at the same time and place, elected Goyernor Johnston the first United States Senator from this State; this Leg islature" was further signalized by the establishment of the University of North .Carolina. Elections were also ordered for members of the National House of Representatives. The illus trious Gov. Caswell, who wat ser' ing'as Senator from D bhs (now Green.) county, was stricken with paralysis, on the third day of the session rhile in his seat, and tdied on the 10th dav of Novem- 1 nial of the adoption by our State or tne reaerai constitution.

Although fond of reading, he find's little time to indulge that taste. ' His newspaper reading is limited to a glance at one paper to get the drift of the day, a pret ty careful perusal of the Indian apolfs journal, w.th its chronicle of events happening at and near his own home, and to such articles in the leading daily newspapers as may be brought to his atten tion for any particular reason. His desk is that of an orderly worker; and is usually cleared every night of the accumulation of the. day.

In most youthen States, he also says, the idea - f forming a white Re-bublican- party would not be countenanced. Mr. Houk no doubt reflects the Republican view about the matter. The ne gro constitutes the great rank and hie of the party in the South. .He votes the Republican ticket unchangeably without having a'riy'idca of the fitness of his choice for the oAice he is named to fill. His rote counts just as much, however and it is well for the Republican candidate in many instances that he is not critical. Take away the negro vote from tne Republican ballots that are east in the South, and how many votes wpuld be left?
