The HEATED TERM.-A Southern man
who has not experienced what is known
as cheated term" in Northern city,
has no adequate notion of what really
hot weather is. OF the late hot week,
the New York Tribune says:
''The sixth day of dreadful heat has
passed, and still there is no substantial
relief. The local storms which the
weather bureau predicted for the Atlantic
coast have wasted their balm upon the
sands Of Jersey, or drifted ont to sea
and poured their refreshing waters into
the Atlantic. The wind which blew over
ths city yesterday was as hot as the wind
of the desert. The roofs and pavements
of suffering New York still blaze in the
angry sun. A million people pant for O
breath OF cooling air. Poisonous exhala-
tons rise from the fostering streets.
Cutters reek with fever. breeding
stenches. Seventy persons dropped dead
from the heat in single day, and the
hospitals are crowded with delirious VIC
TINS. The night brings no rest, for it is
as hot as the day. From the tenement
quarters, crowds of half dressed men
and women and children hurry, when
darkness comes on, to the parks and
open squares, and the steps and porticoes
OF public buildings. In houses of the
better GLASS. people toss ell night. sleep.
less, on their heated beds. or pnss the
midnight hours at their wind ows, long
ing for the cool breeze which never
comes, and fretting over the oppression
which is never relaxed! The wretcned.
ness is universal; and to hundreds, whose
occupations expose them especially to
the influence of the sun, such day AZ
yesterday and Tuesday brings not merely
suffering, but DEATH"
We doubt whether any Columbian re-
members such a day in this city as is
here described. The Sunny South"
has nothing in its experience 80 fiery as
this.

REMEDY FOR D1prHERrA.-The dipthe.
ria, that brings the torture OF thousand
deaths to the little ones it assails, can be
readily mastered by swabbing the back
Of the mouth and throat TINS: Take
table salt, two drachms; black pepper,
golden seal, nitrate OF potash, alum, one
draohm each; mix and pulverize, put
into tea-cup, which half fill up with
boiling hot water: stir we'll and then fill
up with good vinegar. Use every half
hour, one, two and four hours as recove-
ry progresses. The patient may swallow
small amount each time. Apply an
ounce each of spirits OF turpentine, sweet
oil and aqua ammonia, mixed. to the
throat and to the breast. bone every four
hours. keeping flannel to the part. A
prominent New York physician says that
in 1000 cases where this remedy was en-
ployed, not single patient was lost.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE PHENIx: In the
Union. OF Friday, appeared an article
under the heading of "The Courts Cast.
ing Reflections Upon the Jury. in the
case of Josephine Myers. charged with
assaualt and battery, bringing in a YER.
dict OF guilty of self.defence. The
writer OF this article was, unfortunately,
one OF the jurors, and must state that
neither the facts OF the case, as elected
at the trial, nor the vocabulary of the
council, inspired him to acquit the guilty
party, Josephine Myers, black woman,
who made murderous assault on little
white boy, with brick. bat. sufficiently
heavy to knock o bull down. But no
doubt the public are aware that justice
in South Carolina is dpne gone dead.
His Honor Judge Richmond, after fair
hearing of the case. aud in consonant
with the dignity of his court, appointed
Bob Cooper, colored, foreman of the
jury. ALI of Bob's element we're at once
for acquittal, while the two white jurors
were for giving justice its due. Neither
logic or evidence could change preju-
diced minds. The white Jurors went
even so far as to recall a witness to the
jury room, to convince them of facts
which, of themselves, we're sufficient to
condemn the defendant. But, no go.
Talking about vocabulary eloquence, or
oratory, of lawyers to lead jury, is all
blarney. It reminds me, sir, of divine
who was preaching at camp meeting to a
large audience. During his discourse
his attention was attracted to 6 rowdy-
one of the b'hoys-who seemed to be
very much affected, while looking at tue
preacher. After the service the preacher
called on the prodigal son, and inquired,
Brother, what affected thee 80 much in
my discourse?" Rowdy answered., II
lost bull purp that resembled you very
much. and while cycling you I thought
of poor purp." It is neither the lawyer
nor the Judge who have any influence
upon the result of the verdict. It is the
purp. The purp, sir. is the centre of
attraction. l have endeavored to make
suggestion. but was answered, accom-
panied by shake of the head and a
shrug of the shoulders, "Dis chile know
all bout jurys." Bob, the foreman,
asked me to sign his name. told him
my specs were not handy. Then they
concluded to bring verdict of guilty of
self-defence. This being poser, a
Chinese puzzle to me, gave my white
friend the wink to let it slide, and see
how another Daniel will sit in judgment
over this Irish bull. In conclusion,
will quote from Josh Billings: "You
cant lick the bottom of frying pan
without blacking your nose" Very re-
speotfully, A WHITE JUROR.

ExpLosIoN AND Loss OF LIFE. BY the
arrival OF the steamer Pilot Boy. yester.
day, intelligence was received of disas-
ter at the River and Marine Phosphate
Works, situated on Bull River. About 4
O'Clock. on the afternoon OF Thursday,
the boiler Of the wash-boat exploded.
making perfect wreck OF the boat. A
colored woman, named Lydia Atkins,
whose mother lives at No. 5 South BAY,
opposite Logan street, was blown into
the river, and possibly into atoms, as
she could not be found. Several of the
hands of the boat were badly, though
not fatally, scalded. No white person
was injured. Charleston Courier.

The DEAD LETTER OFFICE. E.-The Pos
tai Record gives some instances of for
getfulness and inattention that appear
simply fatuitous and absurd. Imagine
400, 600 letters sent to the Dead Letter
Office last year for the want of stamps.
5000 letters were put into the post office
without any address whatever. And in
these letters 30 carelessly deposited were
found checks and drafts to the amount
OF $3, 900, 900. and over $92, 900 in cash.
Much Of this sum was of course returned
to the owners, but much of it was also
lost irretrievably, and was doubtless the
cause OF trouble, charges of dishonesty,
and many arrangements.

SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFETY IN THUNDER
STORMS. -Sedulously avoid all conductors
of electricity. Do not shelter under
trees, nor go near them; the great ma
jority OF accidents arise from want of
this precaution. Do not handle or be
close to metallic bodies; servant clean
ing silver fork at window, during a
thunder storm, the prongs being out
wards, was struck, but not killed; q
young lady. during the same storm,
sewing near window, was thrown from
her seat and experienced blow. The
centre of room. if metallic lustre is
not pendant, is safer than any other part
of the apartment. It is not safe to be
between the window and the door, or q
fireplace, where there is current of
air. A bed is the surest retreat; SO all
ye who fear. and fail to derive pleasure,
mingled with awe. in beholding this,
the grandest of natures meteore, en-
sconce yourselves within the wooden
folds. and sink down in your downy
couch, if ye cannot fall into gentle
slumber, think, at least, that yon can
enjoy comparative safety.

what Mr.. summer WIN Do.

We do not deem Mr.. Summers support
by any means essential or necessary to
the SUCCESS of the Liberal movement,
but there is no doubt that his active CO.
operation might prove Of vast import
anoe in some of the Southern States.
Mississippi and Louisiana are doubtful,
and South Carolina is certain, for Grant,
~ matters now stand. The rest, we
believe, will all cast their electoral votes
for Greeley and Brown, with greater or
less maiofisies. II, however, an earnest
canvass is made by the Liberal Republi-
cans in tho three States mentioned, and
Mr. Summer concludes to support the
movement, and will take the stump be-
fore the ,oolored people. there is but
Astle doubt Of his ability to ensure Mis-
aissippi and Louisiana to Greeley, and
perhaps South Carolina, too. He will
not, and cannot, advocate the reelection
Of General Grant, for Of him the bitterest
Democrat in the land has not lower
opinion than Mr.. Sumner. It remains
10 be seen whether he will heartily sns-
tain Mr.. Greeley, who. we believe. has
always been his friend, and against
whom none Of those glaring faults which
he has discovered and so clearly depicted
in his terrible Philippio against Grant.
can be lodged. There is no doubt Of the
devotion Of the eolored people to MIR.
Sumner. and Of their confidence in his
judgment. They are not either illdis.
posed towards Mr., Greeley, whom many
Of them know to have been their friend

THE CHARLESTON EXCHANGE. The

THE CHARLESTON ExcHANaE.-The
Courier says this institution is by no
means slow coach, as will be seen by
the progress that has been made in it's
origin and organization. The Board of
Directors hns elected Mr.. Alfred Price
Superintendent of the Exchange. Mr..
Price is an old citizen and merchant Of
Charleston, and is eminently qualified
for tho duties of the new position to
which he has been called. We under
stand that tho new Superintendent will
leave Immediately for the North, on q
tour of inspection. He will visit the
principal exchanges in the Northern and
Western cities, aud inform himself about
the workings aud manner of conducting
them. With n knowledge derived from
his personal inspection, he will return,
and open the Charleston Exchange upon
its completion. In the meantime, the
Financial Committee Of the Exchange
are not idle. A site has been already
procured on South Atlantic Wharf for
the erection of an Exchange building,
and the contractor, Mr.. Walter Cade,
has already set O number OF hands to
