It is probable, however, that if the Legislature undertook to be funny it w'ould make o dismal failure of it, but it was wonderfully funny a great many times last][wintcr, when it sup posed it was in earnest. An Atlanta, Ga., special says] a reli able report h§s been received there to the effect that various Mormon congre gations in north Georgia are organizing for an immediate exodus to Utah.

The town has net yet been made healthful. Despite its eleva tion—near 4,500 feet—its lack of sew erage causes diphtheria to an alarming extent. It is said that at enterprising “Yankee” staked it out in 1859, but, disappointed iu selling lots and hearing of gold in the vicinity; disposed of Den ver to a vagabond Mexican for an old watch and a young mule, and rode off to seek his fortune* T it is customary of late to very much decry the lack of industrial energy and back ward ness of progress in the Southern States. But recently published statis* tips show that daring the last ten years the States south of Maryland have con structed thirty-six hundred and sixty- four miles of n«w railroads. Considering the ravages of our civil war in those States, such a fact does not show much lagging by the wayside.—Baltimore Morning Herald. The people'^ofSaa Francisco do not, like those of Eastern cities, go to the eountry in jammer to find a cool resort, bat, on the contrary, the country folks go to the city for that purpose. The weather has lately been eool enough in tiie dty mornings to make overcoat# de sirable, and • fire is oeeasionsfiy com> furtable. If the San Franciscans go into the country in summer, it is to gst a temporary change, and to exchange the land for the accustomed sea breels. Good News Fob the Girls.—Wc learn that a club is being formed in Beaufort by the young men, to be known as the “Yura Yum Club.’’ The object of the club will bo for charitable purposes; and, judging from the young men who have already joined, the ob 1 jeet will bo successfully carried out. One article of their constitution provides for tbo protection of old maids. Another imposes a fine on any member who shall visit a young lady three times without being successful iu kissing her good night at the door; another makes it a fine of 85 on any member who takes over 24 drinks a day.
