GREAT GIFTS TO EDUCATION.

This fortunate country is accustomed to re-
ceiye the intelligence of great gifts for chari-
table and educational purposes with composure,
but the announcement of Mrs. Stanford's be-
stowal of property valued at not far from S30,
100000 on the university in California which
was founded by her husband in memory of their
only son, and the forecast of Mr.. Carnege's in
tentions respecting school of advanced instruc-
ton and research at the national capital, must
excite wonder and admiration even among the
American people. In other lands express
sions of not ungenerous envy are sure to be
evoked by these unprecedented additions to a
long list of immense private benefactions de-
voted to the public service 1t scarcely needs
to be said that the colossal figure at which the
property decided by Mrs. Stanford to Leland
Stanford, Jr University is valued does not rep
resent rash and extravagant guess, but con-
seryative estimate. Moreover, the prospective
value of the gift which is in part the confirma-
ton of an act of the late Senator which
found to be invalid under the law is much
greater than it's present value, for the immense
tracts Of land, cultivated and uncutivated,
which il includes will doubtless appreciate with
the growth of the State. 1t is believed to be the

| ton in the world ever received in a productive
