The Bar Sinister.

Celia James, an eminently respect
able colorad woman and of distin-
guished parentage on the paternal
side, was laid in her last resting place
yesterday. She was alleged to have
been the daughter of one of Vir-
ginia's greatest statesmen. Celia
James was quadroon and at the
time of her death was about seventy
two years of age. Her mother was
a slave, a mulatress of much beauty
and great dignity of character. Celia
came to New Orleans with the family
by whome she was owned in 1858.
Her Husband, very worthy colored
man, died in 1856. Her children
and grandchildren are living in this
city and it is said show in very
marked degree the eminent source
from which they descended. Celia,
until the day of her death, kept up
communication with some of the
most eminent families of Virginia.

A NEW OFFICIAL REQUIRED.

The Legislature should not adjourn
withour passing law creating the
Office of Commissioner of Mines, the
person selected az such to hold the
Office for four years, and to be elected
at the same time and in the same
manner as the other State officials.
The duties of the Mining Commits
sioner would consist in visiting the
mines at any time be should see fit,
to examine into their ventilation and
other matters bearing upon the health
of the miners, and to point out de-
fsctive timbering, dangerous ground.

trict in Europe without such an
official, and il is surprising that the
example thus set by the Old World
has not been followed in this country

Diablo coal is sold freely for "a %

This enormous difference in price is
principally due to the high freight
