PEARLING IN
 WHITE RIVER.

"Pearling has not entirely sub- sided in White river" said Dr. Putnam Dickinson of Des Arc Wednesday. There is, however, a marked decrease in the industry, and the active operations now are confined almost exclusively to shell-gathering and the ship ping of the shells to the button factories. A year or two ago it was a common thing to see as many as thirty or forty boats in the vicinity of Des Arc, the crews engaged in pearling.
 At present the river is too high to admit of successful operations, but the fact is that the .mussel beds have been practically ex- hausted. In the lower White river there has never been any highly remunerative pearllng, the most valuable pearls having been found higher up in the stream. The biggest find in our section was in a bayou between White and Cache rivers. A negro boy found a shell in shall low water, and opening 1t dis covered pearl of unusual size. It was taken to Newport by the boys father and sold for S1, 400. Many pearls ranging in value from $2 to $50 have been found, but the rare specimens, such as that taken cut by the negro boy, have been few and far between in our section.
 The shell industry will proba- bly, be resumed when the river falls, but the extent to which 1t will be engaged in will depend upon the demand for shells at the button factories. Last year the demand was not heavy, and the operations were consequently limited. I understand that of late pearlers have met with some success in lower White river, and no doubt within month or two that portion of the stream will be crowded with fortune-seek- CTS.

"A LEES MISTAKE. {"

Which will have it's first pre- sentation in this city at the opera house next Saturday evening. March 18th, is a play from the book of the same name by the well known English author, Charles Garvice. In putting the story in play form, however, 1t has been deemed best to bring the characters to America, and give them an American atmos- phere. This has been done, but nothing of the story has been lost. It only adds interest to 1t for an audience in our own coun- try. Books, of course, are writ ten to read, and it is not every author of a book who looks be- yond for stage possibilities as he writes. For this reason it is often the case that the dramatist gets little more than an inspira- tion from the book when he writes a play, but in the present case the original story will readi- ly be recognized in the play.
 
 No one who has ever read the story will forget the morphine fend, a study in itself. For the interpretation of this play we are given the promise of a most excellent company of players. dtd

Railroad in ceylon.

a proposal to link the island of Cey-
lon to the mainland of India by rail
way carried across a coral reef and
the island OF Rameswaram. The
project has now been brought within
view of completion by the report Of
Il railway commission, which has just
been issued in India. recommending
the construction of broad-gauge line.
Geological evidence shows that Cey-

a continuous isthmus, which, accord
