A Dual Southern City.

"My residence in Texarkana is ON the
Arkansas side of the town." said B. M.
Foreman of that city, in conversation
the other day. 1.-THE line that separates
Texas from Arkansas runs through the
middle of the town, and the total popu-
lation, approximately 10, 600, is about
evenly divided by the boundary mark.
There are two mayors, of course, and
two distinct city governments, but the
dual situation works without the least
hitch or friction. If man ON the Texas
side breaks a state law and crosses over
on Arkansas soil, he is arrested by the
officers there and held until a requisi-
ton can be had from the state authori-
ties, and vice versa. In the great major
ity of cases the man arrested will go
back without troubling the officers to
get requisition. New York Tribune

PerSimmons.

Possibly as much use is not made of
the persimmon as might be. In Japan
the persimmon is one of the most valu-
able of fruits. They are treated as figs
and preserved for use as marmalade and
used in many other ways. Our own per-
simmon might be rendered as valua-
bic to us if some thought were given to
adapting ourselves to it's requirements.
A beer is sometimes made from the
fruit, and it is said that experienced
cooks know how to make first class pies
from them. Aside from this very little
use is made of the fruit of the persim-
mon in America -Meehan's Monthly. +

Z Gloomy View of France.

A French writer i'll The Nineteenth
Century says: France, for more than
a century, has been in a permanent
state of feverish unrest. She is per-
meated with leaven of discord which
causes her governments to be uncertain,
unsettled and of short duration. An or
ator in parliament well expressed this
one day when, in moment of sinceri-
ty, he said, The present regime is one
of perpetual change The past is no
guarantee for the future; the cruelest
things are done; injustice and wrong
doing have borrowed the mask of legal
ity, and in the name of the law people
have been pillaged and massacred. The
same may occur again. In the past noisy
and unscrupulous minorities have seized
the reins of power and prepared the
way for the advent of despotism, and
can any one say we shall not see them
again-that the mob would not now
listen to aud follow them?"
