Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-06-27

4 Prison RUMoE.-The Reveille says
it is in receipt of letter from a prisoner
in the Nevada State Prison, in which he
states that rumor has got into tue
prison tina. there is to be a general sys-
| tenn of communications Of sentences i'll all
the prisons Of the United States, in honor
of the Centennial, to be known as the
Centennial Communications. The pris-
oregs are not allowed to read the daily
papers and know but little Of what is
| progressing outside the prison walls.
We are sorry to say there is nothing in
the report of Centennial communications:
but the idea is one which might be acted
upon without doing any great harm.
While We are growing over the Centen-
NAL, and anticipating the pleasures of
the national holiday. how many of us
ever give thought to the miserable
wresches pining in the prisons of the
land. 1t is only too true that large
majority of them deserve to be there and
that the safety of society demands that
they shall be confined; bat when We
consider their misery, the hopeless cap
tivity of some of them, the disgrace for
ever attached to them, their chains and
shackles and narrow cells, We can but
feel pity for them and wish that their
condition could be in some way alleviated.
Though prisoners and criminals, they are
still human"
VACATION T1NE.-The present seems
to BE- . regular vacation time. The Mint
is doing next to nothing. The Public
School is closed and will remain so un-
til about the first Of September. Those
who imagine they can afford it. or whose
credit is sufficient, have gone to the Cen
tsnnial at Philadelphia. Others moro
modest in their aspirations or more pru-
dent OF their means, have gone to the
Mountain Lakes in the Sierras. The
State officers have nothing more than the
simplest everyday routine of business
to transact. The Methodist Seminary
has gone to Reno. The Columbus Wa
gon Road has gone to Dayton. Our
proposed new County buildings seem to
be in the remote future. CArson's pros
poets of improvement-well. We hope
they will brighten soon. The North
Carson-thers is hope in that. And the
V. i L. is alive yet.
BURGLARY. Some one entered the
Carson City Library rooms while the
Librarian was gone to dinner. yesterday,
between 5 and 6 O'Clock. Signs in
dictate that they entered through q
window and went ont through the back
door. They prisd open the desk doors
and drawers. disarranging the account
books and pape1s. and leaving some
things on the floor. They used hstehet
and hammer, breaking the handle of the
former. The Librarian could not dis !
cover that anything Of value was miss |
ing. They somewhat defacsd . hand !
some desk. Evidently it was money
they were seeking. and not literature
hey were after. Probably the deprsda-
tors were boys of the hoodlum variety.
PAID FOR SPREE.-Thsrs vas one man
n Carson yesterday who had life enough
% get on . spree, and money enough to
NY $40 to the Justice Court as . penalty
or getting drunk. Probably no Will be
