A Criminal Sent to the Charity Hospital
for Treatment.


On last Saturday, q negro named George
Smith, confined in the Parish Prison, serving q
sentence passed upon him by Judge Abel, of
the First District Court, for the crime of
wounding one Alfred Gassett less than may
hem, was shackled and haudcuffed and sent
to the Charity Hospital.
Smith was suffering from rupture but the
physicians state that 1t Is impossible for them
to afford him any relief, AS he is compelled to
wear both handouts and shackles. They re-
commend that the irons be removed and q
guard placed over him.
THE OTHER SIDE.
In answer to the above one Of Mr. Houston's
chief deputies states that the man Geo.
Smith, who is serving out O. six months SEN
tence IN the Parish Prison, was taken i'll, and
while lying in the infirmary of the prison was
visited by DR., Finney, the city physician, who
stated that the man would die unless removed
to the hospital at once. Orders were given
and In company with d deputy sheriff he was
carried thither. On his arrival there the
deputy sheriff asked DR.. Pratt IL he would iu-
form the sheriff when the man would be we'll
enough to be brought back to serve out the
rest of his sentence. The doctor responded
that when the man would become well enough
for that he would be well enough to scale the
low walls of the hospital, and that some other
means ought to be taken to prevent his es-

[Memphis AvaIanche.l

GRENADA, Miss, Aug. 1o;;--The rumor In
regard to yellow fever prevailing in Grenada
is without foundation. Ali the physicians
state that no one here has even had thesymp-
toms Of yellow fever, although there was
some little excitement on the streets last
night. There is q great deal of bilious and
malarial fever in town, which attacked large
numbers in the last few days, aud q few be-
came frightened and raised the hue and cry
Of yellow fever, which created some excite
ment above and below here. Only two deaths
occurred yesterday, and not a single one TO-
day. The town now is perfectly quiet, and
all cases doing well.
In addition to this, private dispatch re-
ceved by % Memphis physician confirms the
untruth of the rumOr.

How TO IusDect Cider.

The other forenoon, farmer having barrel
of cider on tap in his wagon, was doing q fine
retail business near the market at five cents
per glass. when a man with very thin voice
aud very old clothes softly advanced and said:
"Has the State inspector of genealogical juices
inspected that cider yet?'' 81 guess not"
replied the farmer, greatly embarrassed in q
moment. II thought not" continued the thin
voiced man; 'well, sir, you can draw me full
glass" The farmer drew one, scanned the
man with considerable anxiety, and when the
inspector" had received IL he held ID up be-
tween bis eye and the sun and said: THE pre-
cipitation appears most too rapid. while these
floating particles denote unusual compression.
Perhaps the second glass will be clearer" He
swallowed the contents Of the first at exactly
four gulps, and taking a second glass he
critically examined it and said: "Ahl
the precipitation Is clearing away. This
cider seems to have been made from
apples" sit was, sir, and they were nice
apples, too replied the farmer. "Let's see
how third glass will look. 7 am not quite
satisfied on the point of compression" He
drained the second and received the third,
aod as he slipped it he inquired: "You used .
hand cider-press, didn't you?' "Yes sir"
"Ah! l thought so. Worked with le yer,
didn't it?' "Yes slr." "Did the mill stand In
draft of air while you were working it?'' aI
know sir" "Well, L think it did.
Be little more careful after this. The in
spector of pomologicsl juices grades this bar
rel "A No. q but If you take little more
pains, you can increase the grade every time in
the future. All right. sir, go on with your.
selling" The man had been gone ten minutes
before any one mustered courage to remark
that he was fraud, but the word fell upon
stony ground. 81 know he's all right" per-
sisted the farmer. "The mint see him draw
