Attempted Prison OUTBREAK.

A Carson dispatch says: The fact
has just come to light that scheme
Tor a general outbreak was concocted
by the inmates of the State Prison
last Sunday. Jerry Piper, the cage
guard, was called by some prisnors TO
the door leading from where the con-
victs are allowed to copgregate on
Sunday. Piper went to the door,
when Hutchinson, one of the robbers
recently sent from Dayton, and
Grant, Eureka convict, suddenly
put their hands through the grating,
grabbing Piper by the shoulder.
Piper, who is strong man, braced
his feet against the cell door and re-
sisted with such strength that he
managed to free himself from the
desperate men and gave the alarm.
Upon examination big gag and sew
eral files we're found in the possession
of Hutchinson, Grant and others.
The prisoners intended to gag Piper
and file their way through the door
aud make break for liberty.

INDIAN CHILDREN.
FaIse Notions About the Offspring of the
NobIe Red Man Corrected.


False Notions About the Offspring OF the
Noble Red Man Corrected.
For many years | have nurtured a
fine and varied assortment of notions
in regard to family life among Indians.
| was not in the least responsible for
these views. but absorbed them by con
tact with people who should have
know better than TO retail such fool
ishness. Now, after a very brief expe-
rience with real life among these peo-
pie, | am obliged TO remodel some OF
my opinions. For instance, ! have
heard it said that Indian parents never
punish their children. That is non
sense. / have witnessed some very
vigorous and well deserved spankings,
and am prepared to assert that family
discipline among Indians is fairly well
maintained.
| have also heard it said that Indian
children are such little stoics that they
never cry when hurt OF laugh when
pleased. This. too. is the sheerest non
sense. ] cannot detect a particle Of
difference between the behavior of
white and red children. The little In
dams cry when hurt or disappointed
or frightened. or laugh when pleased
precisely as any Hartford child would
laugh or cry. Moreover. like Hartford
children. they delight in playing pranks
| on u another. and, l regret to say, on
| their elders as well. For example,
was one day quietly talking with an
Indian mother mot an Omaha. by the
way. and failed to notice that the ten.
year-old son and heir of the house OF
Warseta was taking pencil notes Of my
personal appearance on his school slate.
