MATES OF AN ORPHAN ASYLUM.
An extraordinary social event in the little
fatherleSs and mOtherlesS world Of the Prot.
estant orphan asylum. No. 7S9 Michigan
avenue, occurred on last evening. The oe-
easIon was one of no less importance than
the marriage of ore of its inmates This be-
niiicent institution has been In existence over
a quarter OF a century, and has raised thou
sands of parentless children to useful man
hood and womanhood, but this was to be the
first celebration of the marriage Of an inmate
before bidding farewell to It's benign care
and protection. Il was not to be wondered
at, therefore, that the ladies Who manage
the institution should become somewhat
wrought up about it. Every one of them
/ felt herself IN some sense the mother of the
prospective bride, and took corresponding
| interest Ii the event. The preparations lar
1t devolred chiefly upon Ms. Collins, Mrs.
Page, Ms. Gentry. and Mrs Below, the mat
rcn Of the institution. They were naturally
solicltous that everything should be done
er,ditai,ly

dlrec.resses, so that the marriage of the
