The Llterarjr Club. Tho recular monthly meeting of the Abbeville Literary Cl'.ib wns held lu?t Friday night at the house of Capt. L. \V. White. T. P. Cothran, . Vice-President, in the chair. n L. W. Stn'th, Esq., Secretary. W. C\ MeGowni), E-kj.. essayist. Tiie essay was nn able and exhaustive paper <>n ttie subject of "Duel- j line,'" and furnished evidence ot great pains- j[ taking in the pr-par.itioi). The "stmyis:, ? white taking strong vi'ounds against the pra?-- i, * tlew of duelling, said that h?* bel'ov. d there ii were occasions -.?h.n it was the duty <>i the |, citU-n to tight a duel. The e?say was vcrj- v gotiera l.r discussed, and, as a rule the s< nti- e menus of the writer wa< most thoroughly en- v dorsed. Juilg- Cothran held theopinion. that death resulting I'roin a dud was murder, and In reference to Indictment* uLder the law, s aid he believed that the next nvmwhnklil- |j ed his antagonist in a duel would be hanged. Judge McGowan agreed with Judge Cothran in m> far as death in n duel was murder, hut v he doubted If public sentimeut was sufficient- u ly advanced to enforce the law In this parti'?- t, tiinr. Mr. W. A. Lee did not believe In duel- ?, ling, though there were occasons when a man u ought to fight?to fliiht promptly and vigor- t, ously. Col. J. T. Itobertson thought If u man i; f?r lMllliur liiv ii lit niTnn i I ill u .1 duel, I hat he would be excusable If he went gunning for the offender, and In this opinion s| we concur. Mr Bend did not believe public a sentiment would sustain a gentleman, under |, provocation. In a refusal to rti;htnduel with v another gentleman. Mr. L. W. Perrln a thought there were times when a man wa* j not only excusable for killing a man. but that the recording angel would wipe out the record with a tear. Mr. W. A. Templeton thought ? Home Insults needed prompt and energetic re- si ventmcnt. A man's religion did not require ? Min to aceept every Indignity. Capt. L W. j| White dlil not believe in duelling, but said M there were times when men should be knock- k cd down. tl The next place of meeting Is at Judge Mc- s Oowan's. || Prof. Reld having given notice of his Ina- u blH ty t<> nil his appointment to read an es<ay, ?

Typhoid FcTor. In response to the following question, Dr. | l-\ F. Gary sends the reply, which Is append- I ed, and which will be found to be of Interest: "During tho present year our country seems to have suffered prettily from typhoid fever, und believing tliHt an expression of opinion by gentlemon ol the medical profession will lio advantageous to the public, I will be glad if you wilt inform me as to the probable causes of any cases which may h?ve come miller your observation. What, In your Judgment, are the best sanitary* precautions for warding oft tl.is disease? An early reply Is sol idled." Iteply. ! Typhoid fever Is emphallcclly a disease Incident to progressive civilization, and Is 1 caused by a specific germ, which taken Into I the system through Impure drinking water, ' or breathed into the .'itnus through foul air, or from emanations from the earth in seasons of1 .drought. The exposure of the bottoms of ponds and rcscrvoijs in the season of heat, and the sea?on of decay?thus charging the | air with the products of the decomposition of leaves, wood and a'l forms of vegetable life, mingled with whatever the soil may add to their product, or changed as the soil seem to have power to change them, Is probably one of the most frequent causes. It shows lt>-elf, when there is most crowding, least ventilation, most imperfect drainage, and removal of effete matters, and especially exhalations given out from animal bodies In contlncmeut. In the early settlement of the county, typhoid fever was unknown. Its first appear* ance was probably between lSXi and 181(1. lletween Kio and lS-% it prevailed extensively throughout the country, and has been appearing ever since varying in Intensity with different years. It is a notable fact tlmt between those years ! there was less malarial lever* than usual. | During the war and slucc it is not unusual to' rind a prevailing fever of wlmi seems a blending of malarial fever with typhoid, anil known as typho-malarial the name havlr.g been plven to tiie f?-ver of this type which prevailed along the Cliickahoiuiny River in Va., during the late war which sometimes last from tour toslx weeks this however must not he confounded with true typhoid, as the essential lesions are quite ditrerent. ; ( As to the hest means for warding oir the disease 1 believe that attention to the following ( d; reel ions will sttittce. 1. As to water, to see that It is as pure as i possible. If from a well, that it Is wailed up | with brick or stone, and is so si touted that it , sets no surface or soil water contamination ; that it has no wooden curb to rot and furnish , u common cause oft he fever. j, 2. Dwelling houses should be well ventilated i' and not built over a marshy or ?cl spot. If there Is a cellar, it should be kept dry and never used as a siore room for vegetables. 3. No slop water, nor Indeed any kind of water should be thrown upon the ground near the house. All garbage if not consumed by j pigs, should he frequently removed, or belter j still In towns and vM.ig s burned. 4. If drains exist, they should receive constant care and attention, that they have no leaks nor obstructions. Though lacecs do not play the Important part, h'-ie a?lt an pears to do in England and elsewhere In the United States, yet on general hygienic principles no accumulation of it should heatlowed, where ' privies and cesspools exist they should be kept from putrefaction by the abundant use of copperas. Do not keep pig pens and horse * lots near the dwelling house. ?r>. In cases of sickness from typhoid fever, isolation or patient, so far as possible Is recommended, not from any fear of contagion, for typhoid fever is not contagious, but to afford that quiet, and that abundant stipplv of fresh iiir sa neees-ary in the treatment of all fevers. The stool* should be disinfected and deodorized so soon as passed not for tear of contagion, but Upon the general principles , of decency, and Increased comfort to the patient, and nil the household. ti.
