NORTH CARoBINA AND THE CoNsTITU-
r1oNA1 AMENDMENT-The Legislature of
North Carolina met on Tuesday last, and
the message Of Governor WORTH was
sent in and read. The Governor takes
strong ground against the constitutional
amendment. After alluding to the ano-
malous and distressing political situation
of the Southern States, he says:
How long this unnatural condition Of
our relations is to continue, it seems, we
shall be allowed to have no share in de-
termining. No time has been set, and no
conditions proposed on which it may be
terminated. In tho meantime, [ trust,
we shall meet events ais they arise with o
reasonable and manly fortitude, ready at
all times to fulfill our duties as patriotic
citizens, but under no circumstances will
inp to sacrifice the honor and rights of
the State, as member Of the Union, not
in the sense of the advocates of secession,
but as taught by Iredell and Marshall,
and Story and Kent and Webster, and in
which moderate men everywhere, North
and South, before the. war, were sup
nosed to concur. Anxious as I was to
avert the late war, and have at all times
been to compose our troubles on the basis
of the Union, as our fathers framed it, l
can perceive in this proposed amendment
nothing calculated to perpetuato the
Union but its tendency seems to me bet
ter suited to perpetuate sectional aliena-
ton and estrangement, and have there
fore no hesitation in recommending that
it be not ratified.

WHAT WoRKMEN MAY BECoME.-It is
not given to all to be masters of song,
like Burns; of art, like Palissy or Glib
son; of engineering skill, like Stephen
son; Of critical acumen, like Clifford or
of abstract science, like Ferguson or the
elder Herchell; yet these at first were
iii poor or working men, who gained their
education by their own eforts-who did
battle with pinching poverty, lack OF ed
ucational means, prejidite OF class, and
all those lions which stand in the way OF
men of weaker mould.
All cannot be Field Marshals in the
army of life, but somewhat lower, and
yet very honorable grades, have been OBJ
tained by men once in the ranks, who,
while never for moment despising the
labor for which they gained honest bread,
we're not disposed to consider that work
ing, eating and sleeping are all that is
worth living for.
Their daily labor, honestly and intelli-
gently performed, they felt themselves to

stincts which make men believe in good
and beautiful things, treasure up and

to their care, are bestowed as impartially
as the sunshine. Look into any biogra
phical dictionary, and you will see how
little the circumstances of early life have
been able to impede the careers OF really
great men. Real mental energy soor
masters them, and makes them subservi

Why GERMAN WOMEN MAKE GOOD
,W1vEs.-The culinary art forms part
of the education of women In Germany.
The well-to-do tradesman, like the me:
chanic, takes pride in seeing his daugh-
ters good house-Reepers. To effect this
object, the girl on leaving school, which
she does whom about fourteen years Of
age, goes through the ceremony Of con-
iGrmation, and then is placed by her pa
rents with a country gentleman, or III o
large family, where she remains one Or
two years, filing what may almost be
termed the post Of servant, and doing
the work of one. This is looked upon as
an apprenticeship to domestic economy.
She differs from a servant, however, in
this; she receivesao wages, on the con-
-trary, her parents often pay for the care
taken of her, as well5as herclothing.
This is the first step in her edication
as house-keeper. She next passes, on
the same conditions, into the kitchen OF o
rich private family, or into that OF hotel
of good repute. There she has control OF
the expenditures and Of the servants en-
ployed in it, and assists personally in the
cooking, but is always addressed as "frau-
lein," OF miss, and is treated by the fami-
ly with Difference and consideration
Many daughters Of rich families receive
the sarae training, with this difference,
however, that they receive it in prince
" mansion or royal residence. There
is reigning Queen in Germany at the
present moment, who was trained in this
way. Consequently the women in Ger.
many are perfect models of economy.

Maine State Prison.

We have received from the Warden, Warren
W. Rice, Esq, a copy of the Reports of the,
Warden and Inspectors of the Maine, State
Prison, and Of the Physician and Chaplain, for
the year ending November 80. 1866. RI
The number Of convicts, Nov. 80, 1854, was
IS. Received during the year, 80. Discharged
on expiration of sentence, 20; pardoned, 6 !;
escaped, g.; died, L. Leaving the same num-
Der at the expiration of the year that there
was at the commencement. The whole num-
Der received since July 2, 1924, is 1856. Dis.
charged, pardoned, died, escaped &C., 1903. 81
10 The income of the Prison, derived wholly
from its earnings during the year amount to
S16,33404, and the expenses, including sala-
ries for the same time, have been SIG, 249.72.
leaving balance in favor of the Prison of
SS4.32. This result, though the gain is less by
more than $4,000, than that of last year, the
Warden thinks is as favorable as could be ex-
pected, considering the high cost of living and
the small number Of conviets, and must be
satisfactory to the Inspectors, ,inasmuch as in
their last report they estimated deficiency of
$3.50 for the year.. The earnings this year
average S226.S6 for each convict, against
S225.75 for each convict last year.
The Inspectors suggest that the increased
prosperity Of the Institution is largely due TO
more humane and kindly treatment, than has
heretofore obtained in the discipline OF the
Prison. They estimate the expenses of the
Prison for the present at SIS, 200, and the pro-
bable increase at ST., 800, leaving a deficiency
of $500. .La- aa..gs-Hg It
The Physician reports that inmate, Of this
Institution have been very free from sickness
the past year, and at present remain so. There
has been but one death, that of John Damery,
of dropsy.
The Chaplain's Report recommends the ap-
pointment ola chaplain suited to the position,
competent, able, and to be creditably paid for
his services" The chapel services have been
conducted the past year by the clergymen of
ThOmaston.
OF the Is convicts in the Prison, ten are I'M
der sentence to be hanged for murder, one of
whom, Thomas Thorn, has been in prison since
May II, 1S4S; seven are sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for murder, arson, burglary, &C.,
among whom is Barney Jordan, who commit
ted the burglary in the house Of Judge Potter
and made an assault upon him with intent to
kill. Five of the convicts are under sentence
from the United States courts.
