EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.


EMIGRATION TO THE SOUTH.
Considerable interest, says the Rich
mond Examiner, has recently been excited
respecting the subject of European emigra-
tion to the South. Information from for
eign sources and from the North indicates
that the numerous and important advanta-
ges of soil and climate presented by the
South, are having their effect in determin-
ing the course Of those contemplating a
change Of residence with a view to better.
'ug their fortunes. Texas appears to be
just now the favorable destination for emf
grants. 1t is stated that within short
time past more than 5000 foreigners,
many Of them Scotch farmers, have left
Liverpool for Texas. Numerous emigra-
ton movements, generally embracing small
but valuable accessions to our population,
are announced as tending towards various
sections Of tie south.
1t is evident that our interests dictate
tue offering of every inducement that can
accelerate an influx of mechanics, artisans,
laborers and agriculturists. Our adnanta.
ges for profitable employment of emigrants
are unrivalled, and our need of skill.
led and industrious labor uuprecedeu-
ted. We must look chiefly to the thrifty,
capable and Industrious European settlers
for that agricultural and mechanical de.
velopment which our condition so impera-
lively demands, and of which we have
sush ample assurance in the extent, fertili-

material triumphs inevitably await the
South, and though postponed by the de-

nant party and sectional feeling, they can.
not be long deferred, provided we are ear
nest and energetic in making known to
the world the incompatible Inducements
to residence and business in the South.
Why GERMAN WOMEN MAKE GooD
W1vEs.-The culinary art forms n part of
the education of women in Germany.
The well-to-do tradesmen, like the mechan.
ic takes pride in seeing his daughters good
house-keepers. To effect thia object, the
girl on leaving school, which she does
when about fourteen years of age, goes
through the ceremony Of confirmation, and
then is placed by her parents with couu-
try gentleman, or in large family, where
she remains one or two years, filling what
may almost be termed the post of SER
want, and doing the work Of one. This is
looked upon as an apprenticeship to do
mestic economy. She differs from ser~
want, however, in this; she receives no
wages on the contrary, her parents often
pay for the care taken Of her, as we'll as

This is the first step in her education as
a housekeeper. She next passes, on the
same conditions, into the kitchen of q rich
private family, or into that, Of hotel of
good repute. There she has control of the
expenditures and of the servants employed
in it, and assists personally in the cooking,
but is always addressed as ''frauleip," or
miss, and is treated by the family with
Difference and consideration. Many daugh.
ters OF rich families receive the same train
ing, with this difference, however, that they
receive it in princely mansion or a royal
residence, There is reigning Queen in
Germany at The present moment, who Was
trained in this way. Consequently the
women in Germany are perfect models Of
economy.
