Fire at White Bluff, Near Savan
nah.—The Savannah Republican, of yes
terday, says:
“ Int€ll >geuce was received in this city
yesterday that the.;well known hotel at
White Bluff, called the Branch House, was
urned the night previous, and completely
destroyed, furniture and all. A diligent
nquiry as to the origin of the fire, and
everything connected with the circum
stance, proved unsuccessful, resulting only
in the information that sometime about
midmgnt the building was discovered to
be on fire, which had progressed so rapidly
tie fore it was discovered that material aid
was out of the question. The house and
furniture were totally destroyed.
“' Ve ltarn lliat tll « losses were all covered
>y insurance in different companies. The
furniture was insured to the extent of
fo.SOO iu two companies—s4,ooo in the
Georgia Home, Robert Footman & ('o
agents, and $2,500 in the London, Liver
pool and Globe, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston
& Cos., agents. On the building the follow
ing insurance was standing; In the South
ern Mutual, Mr. Thomas H. Harden, ageut
there was $4,000; in the oßtna and Hart
ford there was $3,500 each, Woodbridge
Brothers, agents. The following insurance
was effected in the Liverpool, London and
G[obe, Jos. E. Johnston & Cos., agents:
On the main building, $4,000; the ten-pin
alley, $600; the bar and billiard room,
$l,lOO, and on the furniture and fixtures
therein, S3O0 —making a sum total on the
building, furniture, &c., of $23,500.
“The property was owned by Mr. Thomas
Arkwright, and used chiefly as a summer
hotel for visitors, pleasure seekers and In
valids who sought the seaside lor recrea
tion. The only information we could pos
sibly obtain after dilligent inquiry was that
the fire appeared to have originated in the
dining room. It is not stated whether
there was any fire there in the early part
of the evening or not. Some have ex
pressed the opinion that it was the work of
an incendiary. Time will no doubt reveal
something of more importance and more
reliable.”
Girardey’s Opera House. —Under the
Gaslight was the play performed at the
Opera House last evening. The part of
Laura Courtland was sustained most ad
mirably by the charming and popular little
actress, Miss Eflle Johns. In this charac
ter the Elfin star more th in ever convinced
us that she is perfectly at home in whatever
part she undertakes to perform. Com
petent critics pronounce her to be one of
the best actresses iu this country. lier
manner is so vivacious and natural that
one feels in looking upon her as she appears
on the stage that lie is in the presence of
an artist who understands her profession
thoroughly.
Mr. Morrison as Rav Trsfford, the New
lork blood, did well, while Snorkey, by
Mr. Halpin, and Counsellor Splinter,by Mr.
Holland, were well rendered. Mr. Knapp
was excellent as Bvke.
Mrs. Cantor sustained the part of Old
Judas to perfection, while the other char
acters were well rendered by the rest of the
company.

The Pearl Fishery of Panama.
The isthmus which forms the boundary
between North aud South America might,
iu the possession of an enterprising nation,
be rendered a fertile source of prosperity.
At the extremity of the bay of Panama is
an archipelago, consisting of many islands ;
and near the coast lies a considerable bank
of pearl oysters. These oysters produce
p aris of a large size, though, in point of
regularity and beauty, they are inferior to
!h >se of India.
All the Inhabitants of Panama and vicini
ty who are in easy circumstances keep ne
groes, who djve to procure pearls for their
masters. They are dispatched to the island,
where tents aud boats are kipt In readiness.
Eighteen or twenty of these poor negroes,
who are excellent swimmers, and who pos
sess the power of holding in their breath
for a considerable time, are under the con
trol of an overseer. They swim about uu
dcr water until they find a bank of oysters,
where the sea is not more than ten, twelve
or fifteen fathoms deep- The negroes then
decend to the boat and cast anchor. They
tie around their waists a rope, one end of
which is fastened to the boat, and jump
into the sea, taking a small weight to ena
ble them to descend the more expeditiously.
On reaching thu bottom, the diver seizes
an oyster, which he places under his left
arm another iu his right hand, a third un
der his right arm, a fourth in his left hand,
another in his inouth. He then ascends to
take breath, and to deposit the oysters in a
little bag in the boat. As soon as he re
covers himself he dives a second time, and so
on until he is tired, or has fished a sufficient
number of oysters. Each of these negro
divers must supply his master with a cer
tain number of pearls daily. When the ne
gro has finished as many oysters as he
thinks sufficient he opens them in the pre
sence of the oyerseer, and delivers to him
the pearls, whether smai 1 or large, perfect
or imperfect, until he has completed the
number due to his master; the remaining
are the property of the negro, who usually
sells them to his master. The negroes some
times encounter great danger from mons
trous fish, and the “ mantas,” which seize
the divers so forcibly that they stifle them,
or by falling upon them, crush them at the
bottom of the sea.

How a Vexations Dispute was Set
tled.
One of the obstacles in the way of a cor
dial union of the Province of Nova Scotia
with the Dominion of Canada has just been
removed by means of arbitration. This
obstacle was involved in the question of
proprietorship to the new Province build
ing at Halifax, a noble structure, designed
originally to accommodate the public de
partments of the fine Province of Nova
Scot,a. In consequence of the entrance of
Nova Scotia into the confederation the
management and maintenance of some of
these departments was assumed by the
Dominion Government. The Nova Scotia
Government claimed that the $60,000 ex
pended by it on the building after the Ist
of July, 1867, with interest thereon, up to
the date of settlement, ought to be return
ed by the Dominion Government to the
Nova Scotia treasury. The justice and le
gality of this claim were denied by the
Dominion Government. The dispute length
ened and became irritating. Finally the
Dominion Government consented to have
the case referred to arbitration. Mr. John
Boyd, a leading merchant of St. John, was
appointed Dominion arbitrator, and Mr.
Dufl’us, of Halifax, Nova Scotia arbitrator.
The umpire was Mr. William Head, of
Charlottetown. The Board met and the
result was an amicable settlement of the
dispute. Mr. Boyd, in behalf of the Domi
nion, taking a broad and liberal view of
the whole subject, and consenting to an
award more favorable to Nova Scotia than
c aimed, although basing it on slightly dif
ferent and perhaps more equitable grounds.
Having got more than she asked for, Nova
Scotia could not, of course, object to the
method; and so she pockets $30,000 and
the quarrel, not pretty as it stood, ends.
it seems that the “ Mountain Gang,” near
Meridan, Mississippi, is again on the move,
for there was another car robbery on the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, at the usual
place below that city, on Sunday, it seems
that the thieves managed to get into a
freight car while the train was standing at
the station, anil, after it had got underway,
threw out their plunder and then jumped
off. On the same night, the watchman at
the Meridian station was shot in the thigh
and seriously wounded by someone sup
posed to belong to this gang.
A Railroad Race.
A correspondent of the lied Wing Argus
thus describes a iace which recently took
place on the parallel lines of railroad be
tween Winona and Minnesota City:
Taking the eastern bound train on Tues
day, the 7th inst, at 2, p. m., at Rochester,
nothing of note occurred until we came
whistling and steaming out of the bluffs
on to the river bottom, about six miles
west of Winona, where the Winona and ttt
Peter and St. Paul and Chicago Railroad
tracks come together in about 100 feet of
each other, and whence they run parallel
into Winona, a distance of six miles.
It seems that the trains on the Winona
and St. Peter and St. Paul aud Chicago
Railroads are due at Winoua at the same
time.
As we made the curve, where the two
roads come together, as above stated, the
train approached at the same time, running
rearly at their utmost speed, creating con
siderable excitement among the passengers,
ladies waving their handkerchiefs and gen
tlemen swinging their hats, evincing con
siderable interest as to which train could
make the best speed and come in ahead at
Winona.
Many of us have witnessed the trial of
horse speed ; some of yachting aud steam
boat racing; but this was certainly the
most exciting race that 1 have ever wit
nessed. As the conductor came through
the car he remarked that the engine “ Bt.
Paul,” on the St. Paul and Chicago Road
was that company’s best or brag engine,
but he thought it was not able to propel
the train and make as good time to the city
as would be made by the train of which he
was the conductor. The train on the St.
Paul and Chicago Road was about its
length ahead ; ours put on more steam aud
commenced to gain—both now running
“ neck to neck." The excitement on both
trains became intense. Ours steadily gained.
,Tust as we passed the train on the Chicago
Road—lt being a mixed one—having a car
load of lumber on one, one of the stakes of
the car broke and a plank fell off, one end
striking the ground, while the other end
struck the end of the baggage car, breaking
through it and striking a telegraph opera
tor who was in the baggage car, kuocking
him senseless.
The train was brought to a stand still,
while we rushed on at the rate of a mile a
minute to the depot.
The conductor and engineer of the St.
Paul train were discharged by the superin
tendent for the part which they took In the
foregoing transaction.
