THE ORPHANS.
Mrs. Leland Stanford Presents Them

Mrs. Leland Stanford Presents Them
with 81 900.
The orphan fund started by the lady
management of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum some weeks since continues to
grow, and no doubt will amount to $4,000,
even more, before all will have contributed
to the good cause who so desire. Yester-
day Mrs Leland Stanford sent the lady
management check for $1,000. When
Mrs Stanford went East late in November
she showed her deep interest in the asylum,
and without suggestion, requested a gentle
man who takes d great interest in the Or
pham Asylum, to report 10 her at his leisure
the condition of the asylum, and to ascer-
tain if il was in need. He accordingly
made out statement of the condition of
the asylum and forwarded it to Mrs Stan
ford at Washington. Her noble response is
now known, and excites the liveliest ex-
pressions of gratitude and admiration.
On the 26th of January, when the
81 900 contribution of Charles Crocker was
acknowledged, this journal suggested
that these evidences of interest by those
not residents, ought to stimulate our peo-
pie TO renewed exertions that the limit of
asking and receiving for the benefit funds
ought TO be set far up in the thousands,
that the Asylum might be put beyond
question Of need for the future. Very
evidently this idea is that of the people
also, for they continue to give, and ought
10. 1t is not too much to ask that the sum
be made $4,000. With that, and realiza-
ton upon the present property, the Asylum
can be relocated where there will be more
room and greater comforts, and building
with hospital and other attachments erected
L.
Asylum. At any rate, the people OF Sac
ramento, taking out what has been con-
tributed by non-residents, have not given
to their capacity, nobly as they have done.
Let the good work be still pushed forward.
Every dollar given is the best of invest
ments.
