In the June MISSIONARY we mentioned a watch sent us by a widow. It was a cherished memento. Not being able to make an offering of money, she gave us that which represented to her more than money. A reader of the MISSIONARY, noticing the gift, has kindly sent us more than double its market value in redemption. * * * * * We are pained to record the death of Mrs. J. H. Parr, which occurred in Chicago, April 3d. Mrs. Parr first went South under appointment of the A. M. A., in November, 1884, to take charge of the musical department at Tillotson Institute, Austin, Texas. At the close of that school year, with her husband she went to Quitman, Ga. The trying experiences in connection with the persecution of our missionaries, and especially the incendiary burning of our school-house at Quitman, gave her nerves such a shock that she never fully recovered from it. The last six months of her life she seemed to be improving. They were months marked by special Christian activity, aiding her husband in his work as a pastor. But death came suddenly, and it was clearly manifest that her nervous forces, so fearfully overtaxed and shattered by the experience of that terrible night in Quitman, were very far from being restored. We commend the bereaved husband to the benediction of the loving Father who sympathizes with all his children in the day of their affliction. * * * * * The _Herald_, of Greenville, Miss., is responsible for the statement that a Negro who was serving out a small fine on the chain-gang at Vicksburg, for refusing to work had $100 added to his fine. The same paper also states that George Young (white), convicted of forgery and confined in Kemper Co. jail, was taken from prison and set at liberty by a party of masked men. This may be taken as a sample of the difference between the way justice is meted out to white and black criminals in Mississippi. The color line is certainly drawn. A good thing for Justice that her eyes are blinded. The hand in which she holds her sword would certainly move to smite the discriminators, could she have a sight at the outrage. * * * * *
