The fellowship meeting at the Oongre- gational church yesterday was attended largely by people from Stafford, Union and Wilmington, of all denominations, Congre- gationalists naturally predominating in numbers. Many took part in the social service which predceded the sermon, which was by Rev. F. L. Bafchelder, and winch was worthy of the close attention it recelv- ed from the auditors. Following the ser mon a collation. was served in the chapel by the Stafford Springs ladies. The after noon was devoted to discussion of the topic of christian fellowship. The discussion was spirited and interesting, being taken part in by preachers and laymen. Among ministers who attended some one of the sessions were Revs. HaWley and Buckley nf Stafford Springs, Terry of Wilmington, Batchelder of Stafford Hollow, Breed of West Stafford, Robie of Stafordville, Bi-sell of Westford, Smith of Union, and Vaill of New Marlboro Tormerly of Staffordville), representing Congregational and Baptist denomlnations.
 The fellowship meetings in this section, in the Stafford, Wilmington and Union group, are said ln interest and attendance to have surpassed any before held. This weeks meeting closes the series.

ROfore the CYCLONE greets its
..aders again the Convention at
wichita will have met and accom-
hlished its work. One word more
s,to the candidacy Of E. P. McCabe.
Fbere is a growing sentiment among
Ne Younger class of Afro-Ameriean
rders that they are Intentionally
dyen the go-by. This fact is only
aggravated by the taunts Of the
lemocratic press, notably SO in our
section by that prince Of schemers
and buncome,- The Kansas City
Times. The defeat Of Currin at
Sopeka last month, and other re-
4Ant occurrences have served as
fresh fuel to their desire to create
mischief. McCabe's name will be
presented, as we have before said,
not simply on account Of his color,
not to satisfy the crying of children !;
not to throw sop to parcel Of hang
ers on; not to prevent a wholesale
departure Of fifteen thousand votes
10 the democracy next fall, but on
ibe ground Of,ftness. Macs record
is private citizen is unimpeach-
able; his record as an official, both
county and state, is without re-
proach; his record as a simon pure
Republican is not questioned.
These are the claims upon which
we base his candidacy. While we
Do not beg, cringe, nor bend the
suppliant knee" on account Of his
color, we as American citizens have
a right to expect that the color Of
bis skin will not initiate against
him. This year is to be notable in
q political sense. The giants are to
meet for their quadrennial struggle
Can our side afford to 60 into the
battle handicapped by lukewarm
spirit that could have been obvi-
ated by, just and proper recogni-
fon2 We think not. We rely largely
upon the young blood that is being
infused into the party. That spirit
that is too manly and noble to en-
tertain prejudice, too loyal to the
party to leave a gap through which
our arch enemy may assail us.

The General Conference of the A.
M. E. Church meets at Indianapo-
lis next week and in many respects
will be the most remarkable meet
ing of this year of conventions.
While deprecating the cause that
forced the original separation, the
fact remains the same that the
ministers and lay delegates to that
Conference are selected from the
intelligence and wealth of the Afro
Americans.
Starting about seventy years
ago with hardlyia house in which
to worship, with it's membership
either in bondage or refused half
human treatment, to-day they pre-
sent the grand spectacle of an in
telligent ministry, comfortable and
in many instances commodious
church edifces not a few colleges
and schools of higher instruction
and not content with the work Of
laboring at home have branched out
in the missionary. field with marked
success especially in San Domingo.
Only recently the organization added
q laurel to it's wreath by purchasing
in Nashville, Tenn, large build
ING. to be used as repository of the
book concern. There is important
work mapped out for these weeks
of consultation. Notably so in the
selection of at least three bishops
to fill vacancies caused by , the
death Of Cain, Dickinson and Shor-
ter. It is to be hoped that calm
deliberations will characterize
their action and no. step will be
taken that will not rebound to the
credit of the race and advancement
of the Masters Kingdom.

MAKE Tour OF THIS
COUNTRY

The most interesting visitor we have
ever received from Russia landed in
New York a few days ago. We give
"A portrait of this magnificent man and
painter OF wonderful inspiration, en-
thusiaSm and genius.
The man Nerrestchagin is a revela-
ton of strength and beauty. He is in
the prime of life, not yet forty years
old. Standing about six feet high, he
is so well-prOpOrtioned and power
full. The expression of his face is
kindly and frank, his eyes are full of
expression. Our picture shows how
handsome is his cOuntenance, which,
exceptionally fine as nature gave it
him, tells the story of worthy effort
and accomplishment, of noble i'm
pulses and sympathetic habit of
life.
The great artist was born in the
province of Novgorod, northern Rus
STA. He was a vigorous, playful boy,
not an exemplary student of books,
but passiOnately fond of pictures,
which he strove to copy long before
he had acquired even the elements of
the technique of his art. Not recOg-
niZing the artistic genius of their son,
school at st. Petersburg, and in due
time he became a midShipman. He
left the naval service at seventeen,
and Immediately set out on tramp
through the Caucasus and the Trans
caucasus, whence he continued his
travels through Germany, France,
Spain, Italy and Great Britain, max
ing sketches wherever he found sub
jects to his taste. After his return
home his passion for new scenes soon
asserted itself too strongly to permit
of his staying there, and he set out
on trip which cOmprehended Thi-
bet, western China, and subsequently
India. While in Hindostan he came
under suspicion by the British au-
thorities, of being Russian spy, and
suffered some inconvenience on this
account. Returning to Russia he
spent five years in the studio of an
artist in Moscow. Thence he removed
to Paris, where he studied under
GerOme. AT the outbreak of the last
Turco-Russian war, Nerrestchagin
went to the front with the army of his
country. He was wounded severely,
but added many subjects to his works
and his battle scenes were afterward
shown in the leading cities of Russia.
Our eminent visitor subsequently
made his home in the neighborhood of
the French capital, whence he comes
to acquaint himself with the scenery
and the people of the great republic.
Among the most notable of Nerrest-
chagin's canvases are the execution of
the Nihilists who murdered Alexan-
der III, the Crucifxion, the blowing
of SepOy prisoners from English guns
in India, scenes from the Himalayas
representing strikingly the horrors of
war, picture of the Prince of Wales
entering city of India riding on an
elephant, and all interior of the
Mosque of the Moguls at Agra.
The visit of Nassili Verestchagin
will be a powerful stimulus to art in
the United States.

MINISTER OF MARINE AND FISH
ERIES.

Mr.. Tupper's views on the presi-
dents latest message have been pub
lished. He is young man and san
guine, as may be gathered from the
following passage with which he con-
cludes his statement on the situation,
as published in the newspapers: "If
the three million or four million colo
malls in 1875 found it safe to not only
fight the mother country but to cut
themselves off from her commercial
ly and politically, and now feel no re-
greet that they did 50, it is not an
reasonable for five millions of Canadi-
ans: with all their great advantages,
to believe that with the active sup
port of and union with the British
empire they may be able to stand
commercial separation from the Uni
ted States.
Charles H. Upper, LII. B., is the
minister of marine fisheries, in the
queens privy council for the DOmin-
ion of Canada. He is son Of Sir
Charles Upper and member of the
Canadian parliament from PictOu,

The young statesman was born at

THE Bastrop Advertiser draws up
on its imagination for its facts, wrong
