Berlin, October 25. 25.-Despatches form
st. Petersburg say there is general
feeling against Professor Zachar1n, who
is held responsible through his mistaken
diagnosis of the Czar's malady, for much
OF his suffering and the probable fatal
termination of his Illness The Professor
is charged with negligence and lack of
professional skill. The opinion is freely
expressed that should the Gear die, it
will be- because the proper treatment of
his case was not begun in time 1t is
said the condition of the Gear yester-
day varied between drowsiness and com.
parative cheerfulness.N He passed an hour
alone with the Czarewitch, and during
the interview dictated an affctionate
farewell message to Russia, which upon
his death will be issued to the public.
It is said he is very grateful to the
Russian people for the free expressions
OF sympathy. 1t is reported that when
the Gar was given to understand that
mis- case was hopeless, he remarked: 1T
IS sad that a man of my years should
have to die, though personally I do not
cling overmuch to life. If God still
deems my life of use to my dear country,
He will make me well.n

MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION.
The Address by Hon. Frederick Douglass
the Feature.

Lowell, Mass, October 25.-At the after
noon session of the American Missionary
association was the wonan's meeting. Miss
d. E. Emerson, secretary of the woman S
work of the association, presided. The
speakers were Mrs. Kellogg, Mrs. Burbank,
Mrs. VIM. Kincaid, Miss Camp. Mrs. James
Babbitt, Miss Mcfarland, Miss Hume of
Louisiana, Mrs. Emerson. Miss Mary P. Lord
of Dakota Mrs. Hall of North Dakota and
Others Miss Emerson said there are now
forty-one organic tions for woman's work
upor practically union plan. From 20 that
have contributed we received for this work
$23,77S. The total amount is in advance of
$2,892 over the contr. buttons of last year.
The feature of this evenings session was
the address of Hon. Fred Douglass. His
speech was anticipated with unusual in
terest, because he has not been heard often
on the platform of the missionary associa-
tion. He touched on vital phases of the
negro question. He said that he was attend
ing this annual meeting, not much for
the purpose of speaking, as to emphasize,
by his presence, his gratitude to the men,
bers and friends of the American Missionary
association for the effective and beneficent
work they had done for the people with
whom he is identified at the South. No or
ganiZation in this country had, SO fan as he
knew. done more to enlighten, elevate and
save the colored people of the South, than
had this American Missionary association.
The sword had scarcely opened the way
for such effort, when this association brave
ly entered upon its benef1cent mission
among the freedmen. He was aware that
there are those who seem to think that
Northern benevolence has already done
enough for the negro. and that Low he
should be left to make his own way in the
world, without further effort in his behalf,
The speaker himself had been accused of
saying someth hing like this.
In answer to the question as to what
should be done with the negro, he had often
replied, do nothing with him. Give him
fair play and let him alone.'' Those who
had been so inclined had put the emphasis
upon the last words of the statement, ignor-
ing what preceded them. They could easily
see that they could let the negro alone, but
they could not so easily see how they could
give him fair play.
Mr.. Douglass here dwelt at large upon the
destitute condition in W hich the negroes
were left when emanoipated, and contended
that the American people owed it to them
selves and to the negro TO do everything in
their power to educate him and to improve
his condition.
