CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS,

This Is an appropriate time and occa.
sion, as many Of our country contempt.
raries have justly considered, to present
to the good citizens Of the State the
great need Of a thorough overhauling Of
our exceedingly defective and objection
able State constitution. The majority
Of the journals In the country, repre-
senting the prevalent sentiment Of the
people of the parishes, have proclaimed
In favor OF State convention, to effect
these changes and supply the deficien-
cies in this constitution. There are,
however, objections to this mode which
are, In the present circumstances Of the
State, not without their weight. But
these objections do not apply to the pro-
posed changes and to the great neces-
sity Of accomplishing the same at the
earliest possible period. They only re-
late to the expense of holding conven-
ton and to the apprehensions Of ex-
citing political divisions among the
people at q time when unanimity is
so greatly needed to effect that COM

rated by the present government.
Then it is contended that, without
these burdens and dangers, all the
needed changes may be effected through
legislative amendments, ratified by the
popular vote. We regard the mode OF
effecting these changes as an open
question, which should be wisely and
carefully considered, and calmly DIS
cussed. But the mode Of effecting a
radical change In this instrument
should be subordinated in interest and
importance to the urgent necessity Of
the changes demanded. On this we
hope to see perfect union Of all good
citizens. This constitution is one OF the
worst that has ever been imposed on
the people Of any of the States.
It could not we'll be otherwise
regarding its source and the character
Of the men who patched 1t up. The
leading characteristics Of this instru-
ment are the embodiments of some of
the most offensive features of the Radi-
cal carpet-bag policy which hold sway
in this State immediately after the
close of our civil war. The great con-
trolling majority of our people, who
are now represented In the government
Of the State, find themselves hampered
and opposed by an instrument framed
by their bitter enemies, who took care
to infuse their partisan hostilities into
It's most prominent features, and so to
shape its provisions as to afford them
the opportunities for the remorseless
robbery and corruptions Of which they
have made so free use during their long
control Of the administration.

We are not disposed to expect or to
apprehend much from this new political
evangel. The plan Of salvation offered
In It's declaration OF principles is rather
vague and misty, and 1t does not re-
uuire any extraordinary amount Of
acumen or knowledge of the elementary
principles OF state. craft to detect in It
some quite irreconciliable contradic-
tions. 1t begins with Reputation of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties, based upon the short and en-
phatic whereas that these two parties,

working class Of people" and 1t winds
up with fierce denunciation Of class
legislation, and resolve that no man Ia
eligible for office unless he be work
ing man. Here we have q denunciation
Of the Republican party, not for class
legislation, OF which 1t has been abund-
antly guilty, but for its failure to legis-
late III behalf OF the class whose name
this new party takes. The opposition Is
not to "class legislation" as matter Of
principle. but to oil legislation that is
not in behalf of the working class. How
such absurd nonsense as this could have
deluded any considerable number
Of men and enlisted their support as
suffragans we cannot imagine. It could
have emanated only from some blatant
demagogue, who was shrewd enough to
avail himself of tho blind madness of q

temptible purposes.
These same men are going to be Of
great trouble in the Immediate future IL
they are not handled with great flrmness
and discretion. Such issues as this
labor question must raise are Of the

Eggs and Ways OF Using Shem.

|. In spring time, if ever, eggs may
be freely eascn, tor now they are
abundant, cheap, and of good quality,
Fortunate for the farmers family Is
the change which often takes place in
early spring from the steady use OF
salt pork, to dish composed largely
of eggs. DR.: Edward Smith says
SIT would not be possible to exagger-
ate the value of eggs as an article of
food, whether from their universal
use, or the convenient form in which
the food is preserved, presented, and
cooked, AID the nutriment which they
contaiu," Again he says, There is
no egg o. a bird known which is not
good for food, or which could not be
eaten by a hungry man" There is in
the egg Of every species a division
into white and yo!k. The white of
egg consists of nearly pure albumsn
and water; the yolk. of albumen, oils,
sulphur, and water. Albumen is con-
sidered the most important single
element of food. It is found in all
compound animal structures, and 10
the vegetable productl Us most vaIu-
able as food, though in modified
form.
There is great difference in the
value of different eggs, as there is in
their size and favor. Well fed doS
nestle fowls yield far richer food in
their eggs than common wild fowls.
Many suppose that raw eggs are more
easily digested than those that are
cooked, but for most persons this is
not the case. if the eggs are not cooked
improperly. DIR. Smith thinks it
mistake TO give mixture of raw egg
and new. milk to invalids, such mix
ture tending more to hinder than to
promote digestion. Dyspeptics often
thiLS that they caunot eat eggs at all
and it is the case that delicate stomacbs
do sometimes suffer greatly from eat
ing any bat the freshest Of eggs
When we can not be sure Of the age
of eggs provided, it is always most
lsfs to break them before cooking. |

Docking and Oastrating Lambs.

Whenever the tails of sheep are
allowed to grow the natural length,
filth of all kinds readily accumulates
on their caudal appendages, and not
unfrequently maggots also find there
a congenial home. To prevent these
evils it is customary to dock the tails
of lambs, when two or three weeks
old. Dry, cool, pleasant weather
should be selected for this purpose, or
if the day is warm, the operation
should De done early in tue morning.
In England it has, of late, been a
common custom to dock very close,
but several grave evils are found to
result from this practice. By 1t the
bearings, deprived of their natural
protection, become much more liable
to cold, and in summer time are

which often drive the poor, helpless
sheep into frantic desperation. In
this country stumps from Il to 2
inches il length are generally left,
aud it might be advisable, at least in
the case of ewes kept for breeding
purposes, that from 2 to 3 inches OF
tail should always be allowed to re-
main.
The lambs to be thus treated should
be in a healthy condition, and should
not be worried Or heated by chasing
or even fast driviag just previous to
the operation. The best and safest
method Of performing this, is for one
person to hold the lamb, with Ole
hand, firmly between his legs, with its
tail resting on an inclined plank OF
or a block of wood, while with the
other hand he slides the skin of the
tail towards The body of the animal.
An attendant, furnished with TWO
inch chisel and q mallet, should then
quickly serve the tail, between the
joints. at the desired length, aftel
which the skin should be drawn back
