THE ORPHANS.
Arrangements for the Grand Music
Concert Saturday Evening.

The Protestant Orphan Asylum was or
ganized in June, 1867, and during its twen-
ty-one years of existence many hundreds
of orphans, half-orphans, abandoned child
| rem, little waits have been kindly cared for,
| brought up properly, given good educa-
| ton and provided with suitable homes.
| Many man and woman of to-day, who
once found shelter in that home for the
| helpless calls it blessed. If there is any
one thing that will melt the heart to pity;
that Will unloose the purse strings of the
mlser; that will wiring penny from the
| penurlous; that will cause man to divide
| bis last loaf, it is the cry of the orphan. Its
appeal for protection of the innocent and
helpless at once arrests the hardest hearted,
the most implying and he who SCOTS at re-
| lglon, who will give nothing for churches,
| socletles5 or Christian missions comes at
once to the rescue. The appeal of child
for assistance, the silent appeal of its help
lessness when robbed of lis parents, when
thrown upon the cold charities of the
world while in its infancy. finds respon-
siye echo in every heart. There are none
so hardened, so depraved, SO low in the
scale OF humanity that they cannot be
touched by little child. The Protestant
Orphan Asylum in this city is one of the
grandest institutions of the kind in the
union. Sacramento is proud of it, and
prouder still of the brave, self-sacri-
hclng and devoted women who conduct it.
The measles which have been SO bad
among the little ones, are being held in
check, and the cases are all reported as do
ing quite well. The fund is still climbing
and now amounts to 81 ,459 25. The con-
trbutons reported Saturday are as follows:
Mrs; +. w. Schnauss, So; Mrs. G. Rood, SIS;
Stella Cady, 81; Walter Cady, 81; Mrs a
J. Stevens, $50; J. T. Hill, 50; VIM. Forbes.
| 81; additional collections at railroad shops,
Sll2 80. In looking over the roll of honor
| 1t is surprising 10 see how many of the
solid men of the community are not re-
| ported. 1t is a noticeable fact that the
poorer classes greatly outnumber the
weather., and there are many instances
where persons having only 81 divided
evenly with the orphans. The roll of
honor when completed will be published
IN pamphlet form, will be given very gen.
eral circulation, and the man or woman
not thereon will wish they had "got in
and rode" The funds are not half enough
and should be doubled this week. Don't
wait to be solicited but walk down to the
bank and pass your contribution over the
| counter.
The Marysville Appeal of yesterday saws
The local contribution boxes for the or
| phans' fund, in which the people of Sacra-
mento have been taking such q deep inter-
est during the past few weeks, closed last
| evening. The contents of the four boxes
| one at each of the banks and the Marcuse's
| corners-were taken out, and the sum total
! showed $50 16. To this will be added the
subscriptions of Decker, Jewett e. Co., and
Rldeout Smith, $25 each, which makes
total $50 49, This will be sent to Sacra-
mento tomorrow.

The plentiful rainfall which commenced
Saturday night and continued most of the
| day yesterday was very enjoyable. because
of the balmy atmosphere and the freshness
| it gave to lawns and fields which are emery
ing from the gray, caused by the unusual
| cold of the. past month, into beautiful
yerdure. The rain and consequent muddy
street crossings made indoor pastime much
preferable to promenades and responding
to usual Sunday gath erings, and as result
the latter were very generally neglected.
