A JAPANESE ROMANCE. A Tomb Portuene«e Man Won and Kept Ilia rretty Urlda. At one time if a Japanese girl mar ried a foreigner she was instantly decapitated. A Portuguese gentle man whom we mot in Yokohama related his experience in this direc tion. Be wont there thirty years ago and fell in love with a Japanese girl. Her parents warned her of the fatal consequences of marrying him. He was young and ardent and she romantic. ‘‘If you agree to marry me 1 will die with you,” he snid. “Then I will marry you, die or live,” the pretty maiden said. He was a Catholic, and he had promised his parents not to marry out of his religion. , "Will you join the church?” he asked. "Join anything,” said she; "we die together. . They eloped and visited the nearest priest, who advised them against their fatal marrldge, but to no purpose. "She cannot bo baptized, confirmed and married all in the same day," said the priest "She must” said the lover. “I must,” said she, "for we both die to-morrow morning.” The priest waived a few customary rules to fit the occasion and performed all three ceremonies at once, and then interceded for the bride's life. The mikado decided that he would not be head the Portuguese, but the girl should die. The priest warned him, saying; "She is row a Portuguese, too, and you would better postpone the decapitation until you confer with the Portuguese government" Time was granted. The priest per. suaded. The husband pleaded. The Portuguese government demanded. After a correspondence which lasted five years, and in which the British, American and other consuls or repre sentatives took much interest the young woman was permitted to live. Mr. La Rosa, the happy husband, is now in business with a family sur rounding him. He, it is said, is the first European who dared to marry a Japanese. ELEVEN TO ONE.

Happily, the case came to 1 • an end about half-past 3, and after his hsnor had delivered a rberge dead against the prisoner, the jury retired to consider their verdict. After about half an hour or so they returned, and the foreman imparted the informa tion that there was no chanee of an !);; agreement The judge took it by no means mild ly. "The case is as clear a one as v aw went to a jury." Then he re charged them violently against the prisoner They again retired, and y1 after some twenty minutes they re turned. They could not agree. His honor fumed.x What was the difficul ty? They had heard the evidence. Was not the ease as clear as could be?"

There must be a very obstinate man among you. What ' ]t is the difficulty?” asked the judge. • Eleven pairs of reproachful eyes ?, centered themselves on a very uncom fortable juryman. "May I explain, yer honor?" said he. at last, in a ■ • deprecating tone of confidence. "Yes, oertalnly—of course explain. It’s as i£V clear a ease as ever I tried." "Well, the faot is, yer honor, them other eleven wants to find him ‘Hot guilty,’ and I’m the only one that agrees with yer honor."

It is a highly interesting story of a strange love episode in .the life of a young American in Europe, who, by becoming enchanted with an adventuress, brings endless misery upon himself. The de scriptive scenes of Venice, Monte Carlo and Paris are exceptionally graphic, and as the characters are well drawn and the action of the story is very brisk, this new novel is one that cannot fall to hold the attention to the end.

Barrqtt Scott left with this office yes terday quite an old relic in the shape of a newspaper, the Holt County Becord, date of October 30, 1880, T. J. Smith editor and proprietor. The paper bears on its margin the address of Scott & Darr, Redbird, and makes numerous mention of old residents, some of which will no doubt interest our readers: Frank' Campbell, of Niobrara, is the democratic nominee for state senator. Fred Everton; of Steel Creek, is the democratic nominee for representative. Walt Townsend is running for com missioner from the Ford district. Dave Darr announces himself an in dependent candidate for representative. Just as we are going to press the news comes of the finding of the body of the son of I. R. Smith, of Leonia, who was frozen to death during the great storm of two weeks ago. The idea of Mr. Darr running as an independent candidate gives some of the “ring outfit” the stomach ache. It would appear from the tone of the last extract that Holt county was pos sessed of a “ring’* even in those pioneer i days,but Mr. Darr was not in it then.
