 LOST A HOME.
Mir. Ed. L. Colburn Meets With Misfortune
 Last Ninght.

As the morning sun rose i'll the heavens today it shone on one more family in Pine Bluff without q home-their home and their all having been destroyed by fire about 7:30 o'clock last night.
 The family of Mr. Ed. L. Colburn gre the unfortunate ones. For many years they had occupied q lovely little cottage on Pine street, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, where they were surrounded by every comfort. Today where the happy home stood at this time yesterday, is nothing but charred timbers, which will re- call to the afflicted family sad recol- lections of the happy hours spent beneath the roof-tree of the burnt house.
 The fire certainly must have been of ineifdiary orign, as Mrs. Colbnrn and children affirm that at the hour the fire broke out no lighted lamps were in the house, neither was there fire in the stoves or grates. Mir. Colburn is in Memphis. and his wife and children were visiting a neigh Dor when the alarm was given None of the furniture or household goods were saved, noteyen q change of clothing for any member of the family. Kind friends rendered Mrs. Colburn and children a home until the husband could return from Memphis and make other arrange ments for them.
 The house was insured for $ 300, to cover motgage on the place held by Bishop Fitzgerald, of Little Rock.
 Mrs. Colburn had her piano insured for $700, and this sum is all that re- mains to her from her house and household goods. The family has the sincere sympath Of many friends in this, their hour of misfortune.
 It is but justice to the Water and Light Company to say that the water pressure at this fire was good. and it is due to this fact that the house of Judge W. D. Johnson and others adjacent were saved from destruction.

edies are the silver Things of theatri- cal horizon. When the patron is surfeited with rheumatic tragedy, loose-joiD ted Inelodramas and creaky operas the relief comes with the welcome change to tuneful, witty, bright. breezy and well constructed farce, in which the foibles and follies of life are held up, as it were before a eoncave mirror. "A Run on the Bank" underlined for Wednesday evening next, at the Opera-house, teens with specialties of superior nature There is a dash and vim and color in the action that causes the most blase to respond vigorously A commendable fact is that there is absolutely not q jot or little of sug- gestiveness in the entire piece.

John shivered again as he looked

LANDING ON a FOREIGN SHORE.
The Traveller on Arriving Wonders What
10 DO First.

When our steamer lands us in a for
eign port--it matters little whether it is
an English speaking port or not-the
traveller who has not taken the trip to
Europe before wonders what to do first
according to a writer in Harpers Bazaar.
Having donned our shore garments,
packed our steamer trunk and given 1t
to the room steward, who brings it to
the custom house for us, and having
given our fees to this same steward, our
stewards. our table steward and deck
steward, we have nothing to do but wait
with our hand baggage until the gang
way is placed in position and we can
go ashore.
With our fellow passengers we enter
n large room, where custom house Of
tiCers abound on every side. They stand
behind long tables upon which our hand
bags and rolls are placed, and which we
should prepare at once to unlock. y
cheerful compliance with the request to
open all packages does much to make
our passage through all custom houses
pleasant and easy, and person has dis
agreeable experiences who obeyS the re-
quiremcnts Of the law of the country
she is entering. Travellers, rs a rule,
and American travellers especially, are
treated with consideration. They will
ask you, in French, Gerham or Italian,
Have YOU anything dutiable? and as
cigars and brandy are what they seek,
ono can truthfullY answer in one word,
"Nothing"--a word easily learned In all
three languages. When our hand bag
gage has Lgcn examined, one of our
party usually stands guard over it, in
some out of the way corner, while the
others with trunk keys in hand, wait
for the trunks to be brought from the
steamers hold. one claims them as they
appear and they all must be opened, as
a rule As the place for examining
trunks is large, a distinctly marked
trunk Is necessary.
y red ring or cross on the end of a
trunk is seen at a great distance, when
initials are not distinguishable Great
patience works wonders in n custom
house. and when rough hands plunge in
to every corner among our small number
of treasures, we are supposed to smil-
ingly approVe. The hat tray is always
attractive to these guardians of the
peace, and then a woman Is allowed to
make known her feelings by "A gentle
"Preuc2 Eardo sill Vous plait!" or,
"Bitte, In acht nehmen" or, again, the
soft Italian, ''Badate, per piacere"-all
of which is simply please take care"
and does not attempt to violate their
laws. there Is nothing to dread in these
places of custom. But no fee is ever
offered a custom house official.
After passing the customs, porter
carries our luggage TO cab. or, If we
have too many trunks for one-horse
carriage, we must take a larger one. a
one-horse cab can carry comfortably
two people with their hand baggage, and
two small trunks in front with the
driver. We direct the coachman to the
hotel previously decided upon, our de-
cision having been reached by our red
bound Baedekor.
