TIE CHEATED TERM."-The prevailing wea-
ther is somewhat warmer than is usual at this
season, and it seepis to tell with more than the
ordinary effect upon the people of this COM
munity.
Every one who can should avoid undue ex-
element while the heated term prevails. The
use OF strong drink should in every case be
avoided but where it may be impossible to
cold shoulder it altogether, it should be parta-
ken of very sparingly. The man who infames
his blood and e1cites his nervous system with
alcohol, while the mercury ranges towards the
nineties, is almost as culpable as il he took
small doses of arsenic or strychnine. Copious
lraughts Of iced drinks ought to be eschewed
also. No human being needs to drink af:er
the fashion Of the horse.
Thirst is quenched by wetting the lips and
mouth, and not by drenching and deluging the
stomach. There is no great objection to iced
water, providing the individual partaking OF it
is cool II is tempting sudden death, or, at
least, serious attack of illness to swallow iced
water while you are in q condition Of extreme
heat.
Exposure for longer than two or three min
utes at q time to the power Of the sun's rays
should be feared and Stunned.
ALI violent exercise at this time is evil, and
will make serious disturbance with even the
strongest constitutions.
Keep quiet, calm-minded and sober; eat
sparingly ). don't "swill" even temperance bey-
erages; walk at moderate pace; carry an UNI
brella If you can; live on fruits as much as pos
sible; go to bsd and rise early, and You will
get through the ssheated term" safely and hap

TIE HEALTH OF The CrrY.-By reference to
the bill Of mortality, published yesterday, it
will be seen that the deaths reported were six
whites and twenty-tour colore' OF these
twenty-five we're children under five years OF
age, and one colored centenarisn died OF old
age. There are two features in this report
that are worthy ofnote. First, the large ma
jority of colored deaths. This can arise from
no other causes than want Of cleanliness and
disregard OF sanitary regulations. The
mortality among the children has been noted
previously; but here again it will be seen that
the deaths are disproportionate, seventeen
colorsd and FIVE white children being register
ed. The unusual heat Of the summer and the
diseases. incidental to childhood may have
caused this excessive mortality, and any one
who visits the battery will be surprised to see
the number of nurses, who, with their little
charges, resort to that cooling spot, and re-
main enjoying the invigorating sea breezes
during the greater portion Of the day.

TIE SUMMERvuLE RErREAr.-For years
Summerville has been what its name por-
tends-a summer resort for the heated resi-
dents of Charleston. The climate is one Of the
finest that could be found, for when the
Charlestonians are swelterirg with the heat
and cursing the mosquitoes, the Summer
williams are revelling IN blankets, cool breezes
and no mosquitoes. The advantages Of Sum-
merville as a residence during the hot months
have been more than quadrupled since Browns
Hotel was opened under the auspices of Major
J. P. Eorbach, the genial host Of the Charles
ton. This hotel is nov filed with guests from
every part OF the country, VINO have business
in Charleston and yet like to: enjoy the do'ce
far niente elsewhere. Major Horbach has
made every provision for his visitors, the
board is reasonable, and the village combines
the advantages Of 8 city with the pleasures OF
q summer resort. The communication with
Charleston is constant, and if the travel
should warrant, there is mo doubt that extra
trains -ould be run by the South Carolina
Railroad Company. The Citadel is now CON-
paratively deserted, and the officials are busily
engaged in preparing for the exodus from the
city. Three companies are already stationed
at Summerville, and the Post Band will soon
be among the attractions of the place. Major
Horbach has prepared large platform for
dancing parties, and several inspiriting hops
have already taken place. Under the new
auspices Summervile is undoubtedly one Of
the most pleasant resorts that the tired citi-
zen could visit, and we feel convinced that a
few trips will persuade him to become per-
manent resident.
