THE DONATION PARTY AT
WILLOWBROOK.
So manv confused and con trad ic
tory rumors have been circulated
about that last donation party that I
(who have heard the whole story
from mv friend and neighbor Miss
Mix) would like to give the world a
nlain. unvarnished account of the
whole festivity.
Let me then introduce my inform
ant, Miss Melissa Mix, spinster, own
ing to forty, moderately well endow
ed with this world's goods, house
keeper and care-taker for her only
brother Ealph, some' years her senior,
both of them prominent members of
the Tv illowbrook cnurcu ana tnus
heralded, she shall tell you the story
she told me.
"Of course we can'.t give out min
ister much of a salary,' you know,
Miss Harwood; but we've always
calkilated to get a man whose heart
wasn't set on filthy lucre, as the Tos
tle says.
"I mast own we hain't had much
success, for, would you believe it?
out of five candidates that preached
here the year we built the churchy
not one was willin' to stay and do the
Lord's work.
"Why, there's only about sixty
families in our church, and it. was set
tled that first winter that six dollars
a family would be a fair tax, tnakin'
nigh onto four hundred a year, yon
see; yet it's wonderful what trouble
we've had to git a pastor.
"Brother 'Ralph thought that
xnebhe if we had a parsonage it
would help us; so be and the other
trustees bought that nice little cot
tage where Miss Gray used to live,
with a whole rod of land belongin'
to it; but, law! 'twan't of no use;
none of 'em staid the year out; and
I was clean discouraged.
"When Mr. Ormsby came, nigh on
three year ago, he seemed; more rea
sonable than he rest, though he ask
ed if we couldn't furnish part of . the
parsonage for him, as they was only
new beginners, and hadn't much
housekeepin' stuff.
"Well, the Iadie3 was so well
pleased with him that they took right
hold of the work (he was to come
back in a fortnight) and got lots of
things together.
'There was a handsome pincuSh
ion made for each of the bedrooms
there's three on 'em in the house
and half a dozen tidies for the parlor,
and a case for his shavingpaper, and
all sent in the first week.
"You've heard him preach, Miss
Harwood, and you know how inter
estin' he was, and -what a beautiful
reader and singer too. Why, I de
clare I took real comfort goin' to
church and sittin' nnder such preach
in'; and so we all did, I'm sure.
"But I was tellin' you about what
we gave him. Well, Deacon Stjle's
daughter Sally made a drawin' of the
church, and framed it in pine cones,
to hang in Mr. Ormsby's study, and
the deacon sent us a. cookin' stove
out of his own kitchen. He'd just
bought a new one for Miss Stiles,
and he come over and put it up him
self, which I thought was uncommon
kind.
"Then we took up a contribution
to buy some furniture, but ready
monev was skurse just then, so we
onlv raised enouirh to cit a pair of
china vases and an inkstand.
"But Silas Hart, that sold 'em to
tjs, was one of onr members, so he
threw in a .chiny dog for the baby
and a match-box for the parson's,
wife.
"Miss Jones and Uncle Midian
sent in a new painted bedstead and a
kitchen table, and so I told Ralph I'd
give 'em a couple of kitchen chairs
ana our craaie, me cna we wq uuwj
rocked in. So I did, and I pieced a
real handsome little quilt for the
cradle, a sunflower pattern, all out of
spick and span new calico too.
"Well, its 'most to bad to tell, but
Mandy Jones, who went to help Miss
Ormsby git to rights, told me that
she did act dreadful, and not a bit
becomin' a minister's wife,
"She went all round the house
lookin' as if she was ready to cry, and
at last she sot down in the parlor on
her trunk, and began to Jaugh at the
vases and the inkstand, and then
wound up by findin' fault with the
stove, which she said looked as if it
came out of the ark.
fifvp. aways thought she made her
husband discontented, tor J.r. urms
by was such a meek, quiet, unselfish
man that he never would have made
anv trouble if she hadn't been al
ways complainin' and puttin' him up
to grumble.
"But I'm wandenn' off from my
storv -I started to tell you about the
donation nartv. You see the first
year we got along splendid with -it,
and I mustsay I never saw a better
tea-table spread than we set that
night for Miss Ormsby.
"But that woman never could be
satisfied, and she said afterward that
it wouldn t take more than two such
parties to ruin any. family !
'It seems she fopnd fault because
we all staid to tea with 'em, jest as if
we hadn't a Tight to our tea after
sendin' in all the vituals for it.
"But I don't know as Aunt "Betsy
did do exactly right, for she took
Miss Ormsby's preserves to put on
the table, and they , was all eat .that
night, and I s'pose that put her out
some.
"Well, as I was sayin', the .second
year come round, and it was readout
in meeun mat ine . aonanon. pariy
would be given tlie nexturlday.
"Mr. Orra8by read the1 notice, and
then he looked alL around and. clear

if he had sqmetbin' -particljler to, savj

her.
"Well. Friday came, and by three
o'clock we was mostly all at the par
sonage. Mr. Urmsby looked dread
ful sober, more as if it was a funeral
than a merry-makin , I must say
but his wife was awful. She was. jest
as huffy and short as she could be
with .every one, and she went and
locked the study door and put the
kev in her pocket right before us all,
as if she was afraid we'd touch some
of Mr. Ormsby's papers or books.
"Bimbv we began to think about
settin' the table; so Aunt Betsy,
Mandy Jones, and me went out into
the kitchen to unpack the contribu
tions. There was some pertaters
and turnips (them we put in the sut
ler), a piece of corned beef, two or
three bilcd hams, a pot of butter,
some apple sass, a big cheese, and
such a lot of biscuits it would have
taken all .night to count 'cm.
"I began to be scart when we took
out panful alter panful of biscuit,
and no cake to speak of. At last
we come to Miss Jones' basket, and
there we found 'lection cake, as well
as a great batch of molasses cook
ies.
"I was glad enough I'd sent pound
cake and crullers; .but somehow when
the table was ready, there was more
biscuits on it than any thing else,
though we did the best we could.
"Mr. Johnson sent tea and coffee
from his store, besides sugar and
crackers; and Amos Hull he brought
a bag of nuts and some apples for
the young folks after supper, lie said.
"There was so many there that we
had to divide 'em into three lots, the
dinin'-room bein' small; and it was
most seven o clock when they got
through eatiu'.
"Aunt Betsy staid with me' to'clear
up some; ana x tnougiic x never
should get all the biscuits put away,
for they 'most filled the pantry.
"For all there had been so many
eaten, yet there was piles and piles
left, and, as Aunt Betsy said, they
wouldn t need to bake for a montn
to come.
"It happened so that I didn't go
out much the week after the donation
party, but, the second Sunday after,
I started off good and early for
church, and as I turned the corner
by thfr parsonage, I saw something
that 'most took my breath away.
Every one of them sharp-pointed
pickets round the house and garden
had a good biscuit stucK rigut atop
of it! Yes, Miss Harwood, jest as
sure as you live, there was Aunt
Betsy's nice raised biscuits I could
tell hern by the snape ana Miss
Hull's, rusks, -and JUiss. Still's soda
biscuit, and everyone of 'em wasted
in that shameful way.
"Well, I stood and looked I hadn t
the strength to move and pretty
soon some of the ladies came along
and jlned.me; and there we all stood
till the last bell began to ring, talk-
Jin' the matter over, and'feelin' pret
ty mad, I can tell you.
"Mr, Orm9by had a good sermon
that day, but I coc Id hardly hear a
word, my mind was so full of the
biscuits.
"Miss Ormsby warn't there, and as
soon as the last hymn was sung, he
got up and said that he had had a
call from a churoh in the far West,
and that he had made up his mind
that it was his duty to accept it He
went on to say that he would like to
go that same, week, and then, without
so much1 as tellin' us that he was sor
ry to leave us, or offerin' to wait un
til we could get some one else, he
gave the benediction and dismissed
us.
"I can tell j'ou there was talk
enough when we got out that morn-
in', and some of the folks thought we
ought to p iqt a committee to asK
Miss Ormsby about it, but brother
Ralph said, 'No; if they was gom',
let em go peaceable, so they all
agreed to say nothin' at all.
We heard afterward from little
Johnny Hall, who was playi' near the
parsonage late on Saturday after
noon, that Mr, Urmsby he brought
the biscuits out in a big basket, and
then Miss Ormsby she helped him to
stick them on the pickets, and she
laughed all the lime" as If it was a
good joKe.
"I don't want to judge any bod',
but 1 never did think that woman
was fit for a minister's" wife, and don't
think so now.
"Well they moved off, bag and
baggage, on "Wednesday ot that
week, and we've never heard from
Mr. Ormsby since, and I don t know
as we want to, sem he hurt our leel
in's so. though we've never found as
good a preacher as he was, and never
will."
And this was Miss Melissa's story,
Mrs. E. T. Corbett, in JTarper's
Magazine for UTovember.

Talks About the Paramount

[From Carl Schurz' Speech at Union
League Club, New York.]
THE SOUTHERN CLAIMS.
Ithas frequently been said byDem
ocrats that in the question of South?
em claims there Is nothing but a
mere partisan cry.. Gentlemen, it is
.my sober conviction that there is
much in.it and I will tell-you why I
. ' ' rr-t. - c i i -

poverished 'by the war, and m con
versation with' Southern men myself
l cave tound. this to-be their idea
Sflnpf thelfortlihaye controlled the
laovernment alone since the war; you
have taken out or the public treasu
ry" millions, of '"dollars -to subsidize
steamboatlines., Tou have granted
away, millions, of, acres for railroads
to.efUWlta yor UHW 'Of comjapV
cation. Yon have spent untold sums
of money on internal improvements,
and while you did this we in the
South were exposed to all the ravages
of the war, and out of which we have
come in an impoverished condition.
Now. they say, there is nothing lair
er in the world than that we should
have the same advantages, so as to
get even. Gentlemen, you converse
with almost every southern man on
this subject, and if he does not tell
vou this before election, he. will be
candid enough to say so after, if the
Democratic candidate is elected.
What does that mean? We have dis
covered in the course of time that
the policy of granting railroad grants
and subsidizing this and that private
enterprise was exceedingly costly,
without conferring a corresponding
public benefit Therefore, that poli
cy has to a. great extent been aban
doned; but I predict in case of a Dem
ocratic victory that that policy will be
renewed and carried on to a more
extravagant extent by that party
when it becomes the controlling pow
er. That is the one point The sec
ond poiut is this: While I was in
the Senate and ever since a large
number of bills were introduced'there
aiming at the refunding of the cot
ton tax. You are all aware that
during the war we paid hundreds
upon hundreds of millions of taxes
for the purpose of keeping our Gov
ernment alive and our armies going.
We did that having been forced into
a war by the rebel States, a war that
cost 500,000 precious, lives and thou
sands of millions of dollars. During
the whole time the South contributed
almost nothing to the public treasury.
There is only one considerable item
of the tax that was levied upon the
Southern people, and that was the
cotton tax, some eight'-eight million
dollars or over. Now they demand
a restitution of that tax, as it is pro
posed by some, not to the individ
uals by whom the tax was paid, but
to the Southern States as such. I
am a man of very generous disposi
tion with regard to the Sputh. I
thought that when the war was closed
the Southern people, who had been
in revolt, would again become peace
able and law-abiding citizens, and
that generosity was not only a duty,
but an act of wisdom and justice.
And so I have been on.e of the first
to advocate a policy ot general am
nesty, and of the complete removal
of all those political disabilities which,
m consequence of the rebellion, had
been imposed upon a large number
of Southern people. In general I ad
vocated a policy of generosity and
reconciliation. I am willling to be
as generous to them as anybody, but
when, after having-forced us into so
terrible a war a war that came near
destroying the very life of this great
Republic a war that has covered the
laud with mourning, and put such
terrible burdens upon our people
when, after such a war having con
tributed this little mite to the susten
ance of this great fabric of our insti
tution, they demand that we should
refund every cent of it, I think it is
a little too much, And yet you are
coolly asked you, the possessors of
the wealth of this country to put
your hands into your pockets so that
$08,000,000 bo given back. 1 tell
you, gentlemen, it is my honest con
viction, should the Democratic party
come into power again, they will in
evitably return to the South every
cent of that money which was con
tributed to the National Treasury in
the cotton interest, with interest Wo.
I tell you candidly, I fear that the
Demccr itic party will be exceedingly
generous to their Southern-friends in
the way of putting money into their
pockets.
SOUTH WILL CONTROL THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.
Ithas frequently been said that no
Northern Democrat, after voting for
such a bill, will be able to come be
fore his con8tiuenc Is that truer
Don't we see things, which, under
ordinary circumstances would be In
oredible? The South Is now a com
pact unit again in the Democratic
party. At least tbeDeraocratic par
ty wants to fight us, and in case of a
Democratic victory the tsouth will not
only be solidly Democratic, but it will
also remain so for an interminable
time. Let me say to you, I would
look upon that as a great national
misfortune, for, when, in a Republic
political parties are divided by geo
graphical sectional lines, it will cre
ate an unsound and unpatriotio pub
lic sentiment; and if it were for that
reason alone, I think there would be
some impulse of patriotism, moving
almost every one to fight against the
Democratic party this all. Ap
plause. But that is not the point I
want to discuss. I say the Demo
cratic party "wants to unite the South
once more as a solid unit upon its
side. In that case the Southern peo
ple will hold the majority of the Dem
ocratic party and direct its purposes.
That 'majority of votes will necessa
rily. as before the war, give them the
control of the party; they will fall at
once again into their old seat of pow
er, and holding the preponderance or
influence in the .Democratic party the
South will necessarily insist upon
dictatinsr the nominations for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency in
that organization,, in other words,
just as it was before our great civil
conflict no Jxorcnern xemocras win

pelled by one of those impulses that
seems to be indigenous to .the Demo
cratic mind by the influence of sub
serviency to the. Southern dictation,
will vote for just such bills as have
been, laid before you by Republican
sneakers. So I believe that a Demo
cratic Administration will, by the
very necessities of the case be one of
toe most extravagant Aiiuinisi,ra
tions this country ever had. There
i3 still another reason whjr this will
be so. The Southern people, being
the preponderating power in the
councils of the Democratic party,
will also dictate its financial policy.
The Southern people stand, now com
pared with us in the position of poor
relations. In other words, they be
ing comparatively poor, and the
Nor,th comparatively rich, tho North
will pay the great mass of taxes and
the South will pay comparative
ly little. The necessary consequence
is that those wuo pay very mile
don't feel the burden of an extrava
gant Government, and will therefore
always be in favor of spending a3
much money as possible. You have
an illustration of this in the city of
New York. A very large number of
your voters are non-tax-pa3Ters, a mi
nority or youryoters are wealthy tax
payers; the non-tax payers do not
care a snap of their finger how much
money is spent by the (Jity Govern
ment, and, therefore, you have always
a lavish administration. - Is not that
so? Then the same relation will be
borne by the South to the North as to
pur national councils, and, therefore,
I repeat it is by the very necessity of
the case that a Democratic adminis
tration, governed as it must be by
Southern influence, will be a most ex
travagant one. Applause.
THE QUESTION OF NATIONAL PEACE.
There is still one other thing I
would call your atttention to, and that
is the question of National peace. 1
do not mean to repeat what I said of
my action with regard to the bouth
ern people, and the impulse of gene
rosity which I have always followed.
Of course I did that with the ex
pectation that satisfactory response
would be elicited from the other side.
We gave them back their rights with
a lavish hand; we gave them back
theirrights so shortly after the rebel
lion that I can onlv repeat what I
"have said before, that the generosity
of the American people has never
been equalled by any other Nation in
the world in that respect We did it
with the just expectation, or, at least,
the reasonable expectation, that the
Southern peojle, receiving their
rights at our hand, might be counted
upon to respect also, the rights of
others. Im'-BoiTy-tojr.UtcithtfcJ
expectation has been, in a great mea
sure, disappointed. When you look
at the State of South Carolina, yon
will not deny that the situation of
things is exceedingly serious. I am
the very last man in the country who
would approve ot the presence ot
troops in the neighborhood of the
ballot-box, and 1 would stand by to
the last in the endeavor to secure to
cverj' man the right to vote unin
fluenced by force of any kind, liut
as things now stand, if the United
States troops are withdrawn we are
pretty sure to have another armed
force in its place, and that is the nne
clubs of the South Carolina Reform
Democracy. I believe in reform, gen
tlemen, but I do not believe in the
reform of the "rifle and the revolver
in the hands of the terrorist. Now,
then, they may succeed possibly in
subjugating Republican majorities,
but one thing I Jook upon as per
fectly sure wo have come to the set
tlement of the questions growing out
of the war by debating certain Con
stitutional provisions, xhese Con
stitutional provisions may for the
time being be overriden in this or
that State, but if the attoinpt is
made .which Hook for almost as in
evitable in tho event of a Democratic
victory if the attempt is made to
nullify them in the whole extent of
the Southern country, I am sure
that the loyal people of the United
States of America will not submit to
it TApplause. If the attempt is
made upon such an issue between the
North and the bouth, the solid south
on one side will find a solid North on
the other side; and liberal and gen
erous as I may be when the question
is between a solid North and a solid
South, I am on the side of the North
all the time. Applause. I am on
the side of tho North not because I
happen to live here, but because I be
lieve that the North contains the in
tellectual as we'll as the moral vitali
ty of the American. Republic as it is
now constituted, jnow, gentlemen,
looking at the attempts that are be
ing made in the bouth, can anybody
doubt that they would be greatly en
couraged by a victory of the Demo
cratic partyr lam sorry lam obliged
to say it but still that party stands in
the politics of the country, as a con
tinual threat of reaction against the
results of the war; and it is my con
viction at the present moment that
the candidates of the Republican
party are qot only the best, but they
are the only instruments by which
the true interests of the American
people can be promoted. Applause.
