We have just passed through a trying and prolonged rspell of hot ’.vvathor. Day alt^r day the ther mometer has marked from 92 to 93 de grees until the monotony of steady heat became hard te endure. , Men who do noFcbmplairt ot the heat say they keep reasonably cool by not thinking irritably of the weather, and rciiecting serenely that it is good for agriculture, and cannot last. This is good philosophy undoubtedly, but few of us ohilosophers. The refresh ing rains of the past day or two have, however, broken the spell and re stored our community to belter hu mor. At all events it is a comfort to know that it has been considerably w'arfner in most other places about the country. _____ Town Improvements. Mr. J. P. Weathersbee’s new house is progressing rapidly.

The inclosing of this lot willshut up the old road leading from tlie bridge on Newberry Street. Mrs. Shoub’s new dwelling is mak ing rapid headway, and when finish ed, will be one of the most ornamen tal dwellings of the town. Elevated as it is on a high hill, itieliningshurp- ly into the deep valley on the .south, it will have a commanding view ami present a most picturesque appear ance. The addition of another story to Mr. James Aldrich’s house is nearly completed, and makes this one of the handsomest and most imposing dwellings in Aiken.

Aug. 9.—The following is official: The Duval county board of health would announce that the developements which have oc curred in the last twenty-four hour.-; assure them of the prevalance w ithin our midst of yellow'fever tending to assume an epidemic form. While they regret the necessity of making this announcement, tlie open dealing iu the past of this board with the public requires that they should make this statement. The hoard will hereafter issue the daily 6 o’clock bulletin. Many people left the city to-day. fhiee new eases were reported to-doy which were sent to the Band Iliil quarantine station, A World reporter yesterday had a conversation w ith a gentleman who is lately from Jacksonville, ain'i lie said that there seems to bo a good deal of indigiuatiou in that city against the health authorities for got letting the people know at iirot that yellow fever did e>;ist. Numerous culls were made on the health authorities to knov.' the truth, so that the people could he sent out of the city, but in every instance, they denied tliat there was any yeilow fever until they had to come cut with the truth. Latest Report From Tin: Fe’ kk Infected Cities. Savannah, Ga., Aug, 12.— A special to the News from Jacksonville, received to-night, reports three new cases aud one death as to-day’s record in the city. One suspicious case has developed at Pablo Beach, where Capt. Tuttle, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, died yesterday, ft is also reported that three suspicious cases have developed at St. Augus tine, aud that a stampede from that city lias btqyin. An Unfortai.ate Combination. The latest notion in the hoodoo lino if that tho mustache of a man, carried within tho bodice of a woman, will insure ? ;ood luck. Is the mustache detached rom the face on which it grew? Why, of course. Otherwiso tho fetisli would bo easy to get and awfully improper. But to obtain a mustache all alone ly itself is mighty hard. Fellowa cultivate them so slowly and roap the crop so rarely that a g enuine mustache, separated from it* p, is a scarce article. Onco in a while a pretty girl may bo able to coax an enam ored chap to make a eaerificoof his hirsute treasyre, but usually one must depend oa a barber, in which case yon never know for certain that it is really a mustache and not a partner of a side whisker or a goatoo, or even a cutting of an uncom monly coarse scalp lock. I know a maiden who obtained the desired mascot from a devoted aud betrothed dude. Ho called on her again, and vowed ho believed she had already thrown his mustache away. She produced it. “Seems to mo it is bigger than it was,” he remarked. “Indeed, It was a tiny little ono-when you gave It to me,” she shyly assented. “And it is half composed of redder Lair than my mustache.” “Yes, so it is.” “Aha! I know. I saw Jim Brown to day, and Ms mustache is gone. You’ve goi Ids mixed jt in with mine.” “Do you niindr” Did J:e raindlf Jim Brown was his hated rival.

It has generally been believed that tty- reduction in average height of French soldiers which followed Napoleon’s wars, due, of course, tp the immense slaughte? in those campaigns, made all of thos< soldiers tho shortest in Europe. But, ac; cording to a high medical and military authority in Russia, the minimum height of the Russian and the French conscript is about equal—five feet; while in most other European countries tho minimum ranges from five feet one inch to five fee* three inches.—Boston Budget. Engines Struck hy Lightning;.
