The following communication from a gentleman of character, a. phyaicum of prominence and experience, was .recei ved some time since, and at atime when a press of matter crowded upon our sol umns. It was laid aside for subsequent use, but was unfortunately covered over on our hook and lost to view.

Buncombe county and this mountain section has been a health resort f r over half a Century. Thousands have cotne here to enjoy the pure dry atmopheie, cooling breezes, salubrious and i.oaitny climate. From some cause unknown tc me, the impression has- lately J;,t!f , abroad that this section, and particularly ;, Asheville, is visited every summer wun a kind of epidemic of typhoid JJr J Now I assert most positively . tha'C jjei la lew ijyhnm.l T-V-er .iz. inna Itrauy ' section of the county in which I have ever been acquainted. I have been in the active practice of medicine in this mountain section for oyer thirty years, and in that time have seen bnt few cases of real typhoid fever. Our fevers fre quently assume a typhoid condition, which has been called by some typhoid fever, but in reality is as different, as genuine bee honey is from artificial hon ey. Artificial hon-y has some genuine honey in it, tiut 13 principally made of sugar, and cream of tartar. So our fe vers, when continued for a time, has some liitle of the typhoid in them, but are mostly composed of catarrhal and other fevers. This hns caused more mis understandings and errors of diagnoses than any o'.her pathological condition. This is the error that many physicians make who claim to have had many ewes of typhoid fever recovering in from ten to fourteen days, whereas genuine ty phoid fever requires usually twenty eight days to run its course. This ty phoid condition -may be developed in any disease in which continual hi;h temperature is present, and should not be confounded with typhoid fever, which is a specific disease ; hence I assert most positively, without fear of contradiction by well informed physicians, who have practiced here for anv length .of time, that there is lew genuine typhoid fever here than in almost ny section of the United States. Let none be alarmed by fabulous reports. These feyers are non contagoous, and but few die of them. Ours is a healthy climate, and desirable as a health resort. J. A. Reagan, M. D. Weaverville, N. G A Horrible Story. The Knoxville Journal cf the 5th contains an ugly story concerning one John Drinnen, who the story states recently died near Asneville and whose remains were sent to his former home in Sevier county and buried. At the time of burial, liie Jruraal states, no suspicion of f;.ul play occurred to any of friends'. Now, the Journal adds : "The story comes from North Carolina that Drinnc-n was murder ed for his money. He was selling goods and growing tobacco in 15un combe county, near Ashevilie, and a letter received by h's brother states that two men named Reed went to his store at midnight, murdered him and then rifled the cash draw er. The wri.er advises the employ ment of detectives to ferret ouitiie enme ana bring the Keeas to lice if guilty. j.iS- Drinnen's brother yille the dav alter went to Aslie the funeral to look alter property of the dead tn in. He found the stock of goods all right and a fine crop of tobacco almost ready to cut. No one in the neighborhood had heard of Dri mien's sickness and- death and they .supposed that he had locked up his store and gone off on a hunt or a visit. Drinnen was in business at Cusick's X Roads (Tenn) ana failed directly after having bought a 1 trge stock ot goods irom Knoxville job bers. -He went to North Carolina about three yeaw ago and in less than eighteen months came back to Knoxville and liquidated every cent of his indebtedness. Tue remains will be exhumed to day and if an examination made be fore ajury ofinquestd' velops the fact that he was murdered, everv effort will be made to bring the guilty partv or parties before the bar of justice." we nave never before heard oi the man, and have heard riothinp of either his business, hi death or of his murder, and are not disposed to give credit to this - statement. If there be any foundation whatever for such a statement our authorities here will give all possible aid in fer reting out all the. facts, and bringing the guilty to punishment.

IJewnaper in a State of Beige. Th President Reaches Chicago. . ' . - . - -JJy.a1aaTifa to the AiheviUe Citiien.L. Chicago. Oct 5. The train bear iug President Cleveland and wife puffed slowly into the Alton depot at 9 o'clock, There was' a loud shoat from the crowd, a buzz, then cheers as the distinguished pi.ir walked across the platform to their carri ige. The door closed with a slam, the four spirited horses Jumped a3 the whip circled over their heads and the president was riding through the streets of Chica go. It was only a few minutes after 7 thi.i morning when the peo ple commenced to stop at the depot, which looked dismal m its coat of weather-beaten drab paint. It is a two story structure with two small waiting rooms, in each of which stoves furnished a slight heat for the crowd ot persons who had be came chilled while standing on the outside looking at the rusty cars on two sides. Frame buildings near by, the towering elevators, or bulle tin boards were covered with high ly colored pictnres of theatrical at tractions. In all directions vacant lots or rough lumber or store yards could be seen. Not a bit of decor ation was visible for a block around the queer little depot, and not a vestige of color could be seen on the latter building except the dirty drab which protected outside the weatherboards from elements and big yellow letters which looked almost falsely in their bed of gloom. The enthusiasm, however, was elec tric". Such bright fac?.s in the same number were never seen before, There must have been fifty thous and men, women and -children gathered within a few blocks of ihe station. All the streets lead ing to that thoroughfare were Jjlooked completely, with the press of human beings; above the Leuds of the crow! could be seen the hel meted military companies, cavalry and artillery. Their arrival created a sensation which grew more and more tumultuous as the presidential equipage appeared on the scene. The crowd was entirely good na tured. Its one wish seemed to be to express respect for the President and his lady. Although boisterous at times, as all crowds are. this one was on its good behavior, ;u;d rend ily enough obeyed the rquesis of the police to stand back and lcavf " space through which the Prp.-id -i.t might pass, the PresidentV carriage moved awav, thu military formed around it, and a tumul tuous crowd with wild cheering feh in behind. The President took his hat off his head as he got into the carriage, and bowed and smiled as roaring cheers went up. iJeseemed well pleased with his welcome, and he maywell be, for it was royal. Mrs. Cleveland wore a black traveling dress, and looked fresh and charm- inJ-'- As the Preaidential carriage came in view cheers went up from the masses that filled the streets as the carriage advanced, but the demean or of the crowd at this part of the line of march was in striking con trast to the une rliug line of cheers that greeted the President further on. There was no muaic until the procession got to 23vd street, and crowds did nothing but look at the President and Mn. Cleveland. Cl;se behind the carriagt.s came the Mil waukee Light Hore Squadron and a battery of tbe Fourth Artillery U. . a rwi i i i i . i e O..A. me cro.vu yciiea ltseu uoarse cheering for the Presideut when the Second Division swum into line at the corner of Michigan avenue and 23rd street. Down 23rd street, Wa bash avenue and 35th street people weie picked as never before ia the history ot C hicago. The procession with the President and the recention committee at its head started from 22nd street promptly at 10 o'clock. It was in four divisions, and comprised both regular troops and militia, sailors and marines of the United States, Michigan Grand Army Posts, veter ans, various civic societies, bicyclers on their wheel3 anq. ...all sorts of industrial organizations Ladies seemed particularly anxious to get a good look at the President s wife and many of them were mo? e ag' gressive in thrusting themselves for ward than were men. It was sue cession of ovations all along the route. When the head of the pro cession reached the grand stand at tbe auditorium the President and the reception committee took their places on the reviewing stand. It was after 10 o'clock when the last of the procession had passed. Mayor Roche then addressed the President and welcomed him to Chicago. The President responded a8 follows : "It was soon after the election of 1884 that an old resident of your city was earnestly urging me to pay you a yisit. He endeavored to meet all objections that were started and insisted with unyieldi ing pertinrc'.ty that the in vitation should hts accepted. At last and after all persuasion seemed to fail he broke out with this declaration : 'People up whern I live don't think a man is fit for Pres ident who has never 6een Chicago.' I have often thought of this incident since that time and sometimes when I have felt that I was not doing for the people and the public welfare all that might be done or all that I would like to do, I have wondered whether things would have gone on better if I had visited Chicago. In deed it has, I believe, been publicly stated on one or two occasions lately when the shortcomings of thepresent chief executive were under discus sion that nothing better could- be! expected jt a man who bad neVetr been West of some designated place or river, and this I suppose means the same that my Caicago friend meant and involuntarily the fame accusation und , conclusion of my alleged offieial crimes and misde meanorsare thus charitably account ed for. I shall not complain while I confess that declaration of the rep resentative of this city as I have given. It is evidence of that local pride and loyality of which your great city is a striking monument. All have heard of it if tiiey have not seen it, for every one of your people seems to have organized himself into a committee of one to spread its glories abroad. Now that I am here, I feel like say ing with the Queen of Sheba, the half was not told me. Mv amaze ment is greatly increased when I recall a little recent history. In 1832 the town of Chicago was incor porated. Upou the question of in. corporation thirteen votes were cast, one of which was in the negative. We do not know the reason which actuated this citizen on his adverse vote, but if he were here to-day I be lieve he would be heartily ashamed. In five days after its incorporation as a town Chicago held its nrst election for her town officers, and we are told that a total vote on this occasion was 28. We look in vain tor any trace of 'boodlers' in those davs, though we are told that the first building after the establish ment of the town was a log jail. In 1837, wheriChicago was incorpora ted as a city, its population was 4, 000. The number of its inhabitants in 187r was 300,000 or upwards, and the valuation of its property proba bly $280,000,000. Its immense growth and volume of" business had made it a marvel among modern cities. At this time it was yisited by a direful calamity without par allel in extent and destruction which threatened all its promise of greatness and apparently ended its career. In October of that year a fire occurred which burned over a city of tweaty-one hundred acres, killed 2UJ people, consumed thou sands of buildings, made homeless 100,000 people and destroyed $200.- 000,000 .vorth of property. Then follows an exhibition of enterprise md bravery as unparalleled as the destruction which called them forth. fhe citizens of Chicago lost no time in lamentation and not for amoment did they lose their faith in the sure de.-tinv of the citv. Almost among its embers they commenced busi- ni ss. Upon its ashes they began to build Sixteen years have passed and there lias risen here a city many fold more populou?, mure beautiful and more prosperous than you lost in 1871.
