(Wm. C. Cornwell in Feb ruary Forum.) RIVAL MELODIES. Bat tke Armies sf tke North aas Soatfc Unite en "Heme, Sweet Hone." During the war it so happened that at one time the armies on both sides were encamped on the bank of a river on one side the Lnion army: across the RebeL And as the lay there in their encampments the bands on both sides began to dis course music. On the nothern sides it was "The Star Spangled Ban- net, swelling ont upon the breeze, and on the southern side the band responded with " ""Dixie's ' Land Again" the nothern side said fn their music, "Hail Columbia," and yet the southern bands responded with response was only Land." And then a chorus of "Home Sweet Home," was struck up on the northern side of the stream and the bands on the southern side took it up and it was "Home, Sweet Home" on both side, and every voice responded in perfect harmony, and strains of those instrucmenta and the great soul of the country breathed anew and again with the delightful inspir ation of the love of home. That was the. lesson that was implanted deep in the hearts of all the men assem bled there. Extracts from Congress man Robinson's speech. .WT.Vi " - r SWANSUQKO CORttE8P0MKME.

Farmers are busy planting cotton: some nave hnuhed planting, and we are glad to see and know, that so much cotton as usual has not been planted they say that 5c cotton I ou t pay. The acreage in corn and peauuts seems to be more, also more sugar cane. The farmers adjoining Swansboro are few, but around in the country where wc have visited, are about as above. Swansboro is about to bo incor porated. The election comes 2nd Monday in May. The candidates for the mayoralty, are J. T. Bart ley and J. A. Pittman. We have some very fine gardens in our burg aud have seen some good ones in tho county, but Mrp. J. F. Prettymau here, caps tho climax in gardens. She has cab bage, tomatoes, lettuce, radish, celery, spinash, cucumbers, onions, beets, potatoes, corn, beans, peas and many other things not thought of, and all of these mentioned are very large and fine, "Lettuce heads as large us a 1-2 peck measure etc, etc. Fish and clams are our diet. Fish still very scarce, clams plenti ful, oysters about played. Rev. D. Reed preached here last Sunday night and the three suc ceeding nights. Bro.

Mrs. Smith had been con fined to her bed for some time with paralysis. She leaves a husband and several childen. We extend our sympathy, to the be reaved family. While our little village is on no great "boom," it has a Bteady growth and room for several more, why not some of the "capitalists" stop over at Cove, and look for themselves, why not give us a cotton factory, on a small scale, or any other factory; we have all the advantages looked for, plenty of labor, good people, three churches, no liquors sold or very little used, if any, as no one can get a license without six free-holders siernine the application. Some par ties have tried but could not find any one in the place to sign the ap plication. Several of our farmers are planting cane this year: in fact there wilt be a greater effort to raise what they consume at home than evor before Our people seem to realize that to raise their own supplies is the only way to solve the financial condition of the average farmer, especially those that have have made four cent cotton and bought ten cent pork. I he prospect for fruit was never better, unless we have a severe cold snap. Peach trees are "lined" and "huckle" berries never saw the like.

It will get actively to work with the movement and make a strontr bid before the two National committees who will meet in November or December next to select the dates and places of the National conventions. It is be lieved that the movement to have one or both conventions held here stands a good show of success. TERRIBLE SHOOTING AFFAIR. A Duel to the. DeathBoth Men Shot to Pieces. An Alabama Fend That Had Existed For Years Wllh Occasional Trouble Has a Sad and Horrible Disruption. Montgomery, Ala., April 2. A special to t lie Advertiser from Kel ina, Alii., 8:iys: A terrible duel oc curred here today. It waa the out come of a feud which lias existed between the Dudleys and their friends on one side and the Haynes and friends on the other for years. Numerous fights and shooting scrapes have occurred between the parties, but none have been as se rious as the one today. About two woeks ago "Souk" Dudley aud James Minters had a fight in which Dudley was shot and seriously wounded. Minters gave himself up to sheriff and was to have had his liminary trial in Selma today. the attracted many friends from 1 sides to town. Among them Robert Browning, a nephew James Minters and Ed Dudley, of "Sonk" Dudley. These" tii was of son i twoi't were tho principals in today's fight. Browning and Dudley entered Henry Casin's store and each passed separ ately to the rear. Those in front soon heard the word: "if you want anything you can get it." Both drew pistols aud began firing. The tiriiifi' was ranid and boll men sank to the floor. An instant ' ' later both raised themselves par tially from the floor, and drawing pistols continued firing. The shoritf hearing the shots went in. Both men were stretched on the floor, their feet touching. Browning was dead and Dudley was gasping for breath. Browning had been hit five times, the fatal shot entering just back of the ear, three othors had entered his wrist and one his stomach. Dudley was carried to the hospital, and when he was removed from the cot two balls which had passed through him fell to the floor. When the sheriff reached the scene E. H. Snced was in the act of firing, presumably at Dudley, as he was a clerk for Browning. Joe Dunley, an uncle of iiid., rushed in, and when examined, two balls were missing from his pistol. Sneed was afterwards arrested, and on his per son were two pistols, one of which was empty. Later dispatches from Selma say that the two Dudleys, Joe and Ed., entered three stores on Water street and passed back to the rear for water. It was evident that they were looking for some one. rVheu they reached Cassin's store the younger one, Ed., passed in, brush ing against Browning aud went to the rear. Browning followed and some words passed, when the firing began. Joe Dudley rushed in and fired three balls into tho prostrate body of Browning. As he did that Sneed fired at him four times, but missed every shot. Whou Dudley was taken to the hospital and his wounds examined, the doctors said there was but one chance in a thousand for him to sur vive by resorting to an an operation. He said he would take that chance, but died before it was completed. It was found that his bowels were pierced in twenty- two places aud his liver m three Browning was Z'i years old and unmarried. Dudley was 33 years, and leaves a wife and two children. Joe Dudley and Sneed are bo h in jail. As near as can be ascertained twenty-two shots were fired. Eight pistols were taken from the parties engaged in the fight. A RECEIVER 14 APPOINTED For tke Bank at Roxboro The Salt be tweea tke Two Dear Mule Asylums The Vlrriaa Mllltai y Iavlted to Ral elKk.

Raleigh, April Z'J in id John Kelly, of Orange, bequeathed $6,000 for the education or poor deaf-mutes. This institution here has this fund, although white mutes are now taught at Morganton. The latter school brings suit for the money. The point is made by the Raleigh institution that colored deaf mutes are taught at its colored department. The Morganton school sets up the counter claim that in 1854 negroes were not recognizee as citizens ana tnai ine Deuucsi was only for whires.

An Au:'ltical Dissertation by Roy (Jnil.ord- I term phrenology the fcioiire which enables us to determine human talent and characteristics. Permit me to assert that all objec tions to this invaluable science and guide are an absolute and ignomi nious absurdity, yea! and far more indeterminate than for me to Kity that astronomy, physiology or mctcorolgy is fraudulent. Is a horseman can stand at a dis tance and accurately judge the various traits and physical potency of a horse; if a timberman can de termine the boundless variety of diff erent species of wood and show the various contrasts of quality, a phren ologist and physiognomist can as easily determine a greater magni tude and variety of temperament in humanity. One public objection to this science is that "phrenologists do not agree in regard to numbering the phrenological faculties and phy siognomical indications, and con- stautly adding novelties' to them making new ones showing there is no certitude and authentication in - out in response, 1 will demon stratively assert that the supreme architect of the universe created all these organic faculties and the various signs, and phrenologists and physiognomists only discover, delineate and define them. How ever, this science, like astronomy, electricity and many other sciences incomplete andjs of course, a phe nomenal obscurity to the faithless and prejudiced the obstinate and dotish! And in response to the additional organic "novelties," I emphatically assert that they are not imaginary or artificial, hut are real, natural and authentic. A small portion of the brain yet remains mysteriously obscure, and critical phrenologists are slowly discovering new phrenological organs and phy siognomical signs, just as astrono mers are discovering "novelties" in the remote and sublime heavens. Again, 'tis ignorantly asserted by learned men, that phrenologists used to tell character through bumpology that is, by the "hills and hollows" of the head, and now, they have constructed a "new dodge" by going by the length of imaginary fibres from the ear to the organ's location, in reply, I will state a phenomenon I once read; it meant that if a man with a bald head is seen to have ex cessive developments in different parts of the head considerably above the model outline, we can see that in such a head one might study "bumps," but on a smooth head, nearly nine-tenths of tho general public will think it a matter of im possibility for a phrenologist to de termine the size of 'organs with certitude, aud so ii is, if they go by bump3. I once examined an un usually smooth head of a cultured gentleman, who told me it was "very remarkable to determine the size of bumps in a smooth head." I at onco informed him that phrenolo gists study no bumps. Some gieat physicians claim that the mind is a unit that "its whole power is cm ployed into each mental operation all being devoted to but one thing for the time being," but it is ex ceedingly strange why civilized and learned people of either sex can t demonstratively observe that half dozen faculties, at one time, mav be in a general activity and acting to- j ward various things. Recently in a city, I entered into a phrenological uiscourse with a cul tured and sensible young lady, who said she did not believe in phren ology because so many persons reject and ridicule it. 15nt I sin cerely say that if we reject things of which we have little or no Knowledge, uecaueo the majority of others do, we will, in a futurity, regret it. How often arc we fooled, disap pointed and injured by going with the majority deserting the quality, and adhering to the bulk! The brain is the instrument of the mind, and if it was an individual power, acted in every mental opera tion, and all devoted to one thing at a time, any such phenomena as dreaming, partial genius, and par tial idiocy and general dissimilitude of character would be utter impos sibilities; laborers would be equally successful in all branches of busi ness; students would learn as fast in one study , as another, and people who manifest indiviuuality, consci entiousness, and inhabitivcne8s, would be equally endowed in other manifestation; but as this is not so, as people aro a genius in some things and cannot succeed in others; as students prosper in this study and fail in that one, and as all persons dream, the authenticity of this science is demonstrated, for these phenomena can only be accounted for through one or more faculties being excessively developed, and one or more others being deficient. Teachers and parents who know nothing of this invaluable science are generally sure to err by applying the same kind of discipline and mode of culture to all youth alike. Attending preaching in a city recent ly, the minister exclaimed, "Chil dren be children; it is an absurdity for children to try to be grown folks." I itl he not intimate that he deemed it disgusting and degen erating for children to manifest dignity and manish or womanish appearances ? Suffice it to say that our esteemed and sincere minister (as well as the teacher and parent) needs a knowledge of this science in order that he may be enabled to de termine the true mode of culture for the young; to tell his people of it, and how to discipline them; for I say that his doctrine then, to that effect, is not permeable, and some what erroneous, and would tend to degenerate the youth of both sexes, deprive them of happiness and cul ture, and keep the boys off in the solitudes, in illiteracy, studying buffoonery, and ridiculing some thing! Now dreaming is defective slum ber some faculties being awake and active while others are silent in re pose. They who do not believe that should laboriously endeavor to cultivate their faculty of faith, and to restrain envy and obstinacy, for such a person will argue perpetu ally, even on topics of which he has no idea, no knowledge ! If the human mind consisted of but one faculty or power, would dreaming be possible? No ! Whyr bimply becaus"no one can dream any more when fully asleep than when fully awake, and if the mind was one sep arate power, persons would be, at a time, either fully asleep or awake; but as the mind possesses thirty-four distinguished organs, various dreams are easily accounted for, which is a demonstration of phreno Inorical and nnvsiofmomical authen ticitv. The nature of your dreams j - . exclusively depends upon what fac ulties are awake in activity. Mr. Gcorga Combe, the author of the "Constitution of Alan," and a cultured man of fine ability and reason, was never able to thorough ly master the multiplication table. Why? Because he was so deficient in the faculty respecting numbers. Hence, if phrenology is fallacious, human nature is a wonderful and ultramundane niistery that will eternally remain in obscurity, and wonderfully excite the curiosity and discernment of solicitous and pros perous humanity ! Vandemere, X. C. Rules for Spelling'. As we propose to help every body as far as we can we publish some good rules on spelling. AVe think everybody should learn how to spell and particularly those who write for the newspapers. If we were to put the spelling of some who send us letters and articles for publication just ii3 it is written the writers would visit us with a storm of wrath. People ought to very grateful to the editors and printers for upholding their reputation. If you think of going into a spelling-match study the following rules given by the journal of Education: Rule I. All monosyllables ending in . with a single vowel before it, have two l's at the close; mill. sell. Rule 11. All monosyllables end ing in , with two vowels before it, have one 1 at the close; wail, sail. Rule HI. Monosyllables ending in , when compounded, retain but one 1 each ; fulfil. Rule IV. All words of more than one syllable ending in I have only one 1 at the close, as faithful, de lightful ; except recall, befall, un well, etc. Rule V. All derivations from words ending in Zhave one 1 only; equality from equal; fulness from full; except they end in er or 11, as mill, miller, full, fuller. Rule VI. All participles ending in ing from verbs ending in e, lose the e, final; as have, having; amuse, amusing: except ' they come from verbs ending in double c, and then they retain both; as see, seeing; agree, agreeing. Rule VII. All verbs in ly, and nouns in ment, retain the final of their primitives; as brave, bravely; refine, refinement; except judgment, acknowledgment. Rule VIII. All derivations from words ending in er retain the e be fore the r; as refer, reference; except hindrance from hinder; remem brance from remember; disastrous from disaster; monstrous from mon ster; wondrous from wonder; cum brous from cumber, etc. Rule IX. All compound words, if both end not in I, retain their primitive parts entire; as millstones, chargeable, graceless; except always, also, deplorable, although, almost, admirable, etc. Rule X. All monosyllables end ing in a consonant, with a single vowel before it, doublo that conso nant in derivatives; as sin, sinner; ship, shipping; big, bigger; glad, gladder. Rule XI. Monosyllables ending in a consonant with a double vowel before it do not double the conso nant, in derivatives; as sleep, sleep ing; troop, trooper. Rule XII. All words of more than one syllable, ending in a single consonant, preceded by a single vowel, and accented on the last syllable, double that consonant in derivatives; as commit, committee; compel, compelled; appal, appalling; distil, distillery. Rule A 111. Nouns of one sylla ble, ending in y, change y into ies in the plural; and verbs ending in y, preceded by a consonant, change y into ie$ in the third person singular of the present tense and ied in the past tense and participle; as fly, flies; apply, he applies; I reply or have replied, or he replied. If they be preceded by a vowel this rule is not applicable; as key, or keys; I plv, he plays; we have enjoyed our selves. Rule XIV. Compound words whose primitives end in $i to i; as beauty, beautiful; loveliness. Ex. BELLAIR CORKE?PONDEXCE Present Condition of the Various Crops Planted Now Putting in Cotton Commission Men Oyer Abundant Other Items. Pretty weather hits enabled most of the farmers about here to catch up with general farm work. The potato crop is a fair stand, with a few exceptions, and is gen erally worked out and growing finely. The bug pest nas aiso come up, and seems to be prospering. The pea crop is good where a stand was secured, and some pro tected places have peas nearly grown. Turnips are largo enough to ship, and some have been shipped. Cabbage are heading and will soon be on the market, and how glad we farmers will be to sell something that promises to bring a remunerative price. Perhaps some are pitching their hopes on cab bage, rather too high. Cotton planting has been the order of business this week about here, the area has been reduced from 25 to 50 cent of last year's crop, and a few have abandoned cotton entirely. Early planted corn is up and in some places a fair stand. The next worse pest to the pota to bug about here, is the "Com mission merchant;" he is on hand, in season and out of season, and if a farmer, on a good day for com mission men. should stop ten minutes to talk with each one, he would hardly do any work, for they are hardly ten minutes apart some days. It would cost the farmer very much less, if all this communica tion was carried on through the U. S. mail than to pay for horses and buggies to travel back and forth among the farmers. It is very plain that the farmer has to pay all that expense, and if, as is often the case, there is nothing left, the farmers get nothing. Some one we hear, lias been dig ging for money thought to have been buried, with probably the same success, or failure, such adventurers generally met. It is generally much safer to dig up the whole soil, and pulverize it carefully when looking for money, and then wait patiently for it to come to the surface. Tho injunction, "Make not haste to be rich" comes from the best authority. Dandruff lorms when the glands of the skin are weakened, and If neglected baldness is sure to follow.

ENTRY I.vM i.v; IT. And for it to be Sound Tins Wealth Must be so (ireat that t lie Monej's Purchasing Power Kemains Undimin ished and its Intcjrrily I'iHucstionrd it is I lie Mam)) and not the JJiillion that hndows Coin With Monetary Va'ue In this Respect Paper is its K(Ual. Sound money is that which rests upon a fotindat i'.n strung und broad enough to warrant and inspire 1 in - 1 lc-it confidence among its users. Honest monev is that whirh is at all times and continuously an equita ble common denominator of values, that will honestly act as a standard for deferred payments, and that may not become the plaything of specu lators: the unit of which shall re main absolutely changeless in its purchasing power or command over commodities. There can be "sound" money which does not rest on a gold foun dation: furthermore, money that rests on a gold foundation is inevi tably unsound. This is true, also, as to silver; with this 'difference, that the use of two metals broadens the foundation, and to that extent increases the stability of the mone tary structure. A dollar that will grow either greater or less in general purchasing power with tho lapse of lime is dis honest and unsound. No "com modity" dollar can be otherwise. Gold is not, never was, and can never be a "measure of values." Science truly asserts that a meas ure must be homogeneous with the thing measured." How then can gold "measure pig huh oi cumcu beef ? Value is a ratio or relation exist i i. , . ing between two powers or oojecis. Being a ratio it can be expressed only by figures, which aro immate rial and deal with qualities. Fur ther, values or ratios can be ex pressed, but never "measured." Again, value being a ratio between two things it can never be possessed by any one thing; hence, the theory of intrinsic or inherent value has now been discarded by practically all economists. It is clear, therefore, that the so called "standard of value" is not only an absurdity but a nonentity, whether it be assumed to be of gold or silver, or both. What we call a "gold standard" is merely an arbitrary arrangement whereby we attempt to conform the exchange value of our dollar of account i. c, its purchasing pow er to the ratio of exchange current ly existing between the world's gold bullion and tho general commodity mass, which ratio is constantly shifting, and with it our dollar of account. By this unnatural com plication we not only do not secure for ourselves that first grand requis ite of a soumind honest currency a changeless monetary unit but wc actually make monetary stability impossible, lake Prof. Jevou s figures for proof: Between 17S9 and 1809 the relative value of gold fell 4G per cent. ; from 1809 to 18-19 it rose 145 per cent. ;from 1849 to 1874 it again fell 20 per cent., and since 1874 it has appreciated not less than 25 per cent. Could anything be more absurd than to epeak of a "standard" subject to such fluctua tions? A rubber tape-line would be eonallv reliable. "Free silver" of the Stewart-Sibley variety would simply mean silver monometallism until fcuch time as the immutable laws of supply and demand should restore the two met als to a natural parity of lfi to 1. Bimetallism means, in fact, alter nate eras of monometallism or the continuous single use of whichever metal may remain the cheaper. Practically, free silver adds to the soundness of our present inflated o-nld currency bv broadening its base and to this extent would restore con lidenco, raise prices, and thereby stimulate trade. Secretary Morton says in your in terview: "That money is the soun dest for which throughout the com merce of the civihzd world there is tho most universal demand." The honorable gentleman here falls into the common error of confounding the monetary function with its phys ical existence, just as the idol wor shipper of tho East associates a wooden image with the occult power it is thought to represent. 1 he Secretary ignores the fact that mon ev is a national, not an internation al creation. When he says "money" he undoubtedly means "gold," and in grains (commodity) not in dollars. If so, he is quite right. The grain of gold is the current international medium of exchange, but not as mnrev: it mav remain so forever. and will unless some international money system shall bo hereafter adonted. Gold is perhaps, of all commodities, the best adapted to the settlement of international bal ances: but gold is not money any mnrfi than baled hay. except by the incident, of its use for coinage, and in this respect paper is its equal. Gold can never be a "measure" or a "afnndard" of values, nor can it be "money" except within the juris diction indicated by the stamp it bears and even then it is the stamp and not the bullion that endows it with the monetary function. Finally that monev is the most sound and honest (1) which most oerfectlv and equitably performs the monetary function of facilitating exchanges: (2) which represents, not in its substances, but in its basis or foundation, actual wealth so great that its nnrchasing power remains undiminished and its integrity un Questioned: (3) which, being di vorc.ed from commodity, shall be freed from the laws gove'rning com modify, and (4) the supply of which shall be automatically regulated by the commercial needs therefor. With all our theories and "isms" we have yet to learn, as a people, the rudimentary laws of financial science. Blundering along the lines of the old "standard of value" fal lacy, monetary reform will never be satizfactory accomplished. The true solution of this most vitally im portant problem will be reached only after a final adjudication of the case of "Science vs. Specie." J. W. Mokton, Jr. To ascertain if there has been any change in the standard of measure ment, prices of products extending over long periods should be taken and considered. This has been done, as shown in the report on prices and wages, submitted by the Finance Committee of the Senate, March :i, lS'.Ci. The investigation was conducted through a sub-committee consisting of Senators Ald rieh, Allison, Iliscock, Jones (Neva da), Harris, and Carlisle, and the compilation was made under the immediate supervision of Superin tendent Wright, of the Department of Ijiibor. The committee carefully computed the average juices per annum of the nine principal agri cultural products: Barley, corn, cotton, hemp, oats, meat, rye, to bacco, and wheat since J8b0, and after giving to each product its weight m proportion to its yield, combined and tabulated average values in gold, of these nine prod ucts for every year from 1860 to 1891, that of 1800 being represented by 100. Below will be found this tabulation for every fifth yenr, to which I have added the gold value of the bullion in a silver dollar that the depreciation in the value of nl ver may be strikingly shown: Relative Avt'iHge (Jold value viiUie of Hi e ot 1'u 1 1 i in Nine Products in in th" Y nr.

If one can understand this state ment he will infer very properly that gold lias not appreciated in its pur chasing power to any considerable extent since the discontinuance of the use of silver, and that any as sumption to the contrary is a'fallacy derived from the imagination or a misstatement of facts.

Governor Carr was invited by Mr. Armistead Jones, president of the Ladies' Mon umental association and members of its committee to receive the Confed erate monument on behalf of the State. Governor Carr replies as fol lows: "I am in receipt of your letter asking that 1 receive on May 20th, on the part of the State, the monu ment erected to the memory ol our Confederate dead by tho labors of your association. It will give me pleasure to accept this beautiful monnment, and 1 congratulate the State that at last the brilliant service of the Confederate soldiers have been recognized by the people of the State. I am proud that it has been erected through tho efforts of tho noble women who in war were the dependence of the Southern soldiers and who for the last thirty years have kept their memory sacred and taught the younger generation their noble deeds, their bravery and their many sacrifices for the honor of tiio State."
