The death OF Count julius Andrassy
on Tuesday, is ,an immense loss to the
Emperor of Austria. The Count, though
he had Quilted Office for eleven years,
still retained an almost dominant iufd-
ence in. Hungary, aud always used it to
keep the Empire together, especially in
foreign politics. We have said enough
OF him elsewhere, but may mention here
that lie helU 1t great war between Russia

Julius AndrAsSy belonged to the older
school OF politicians who held it right to

East London. ~ respectable girl, fifteen

chinist named JeffS employed by the

was missed on January 3ISt last from
West lam. She was not found till Feb
nary 14;h, when the police. who were
searching some empty houses in the Port
way, found her body in u cupboard of one
OF them on the top floor. The poor girl had
been outraged and strangled, and the body
placed in the cupboard. No one has vet
been arrested, and there is no direct evi.

from the marks in the dust on the floor,
that the girl, who WAS d good one, had Ell.
tered the house voluntarily, had stood on
the floor. probably talking, but at all events
stood quietly, aud had made violent resis-

therefore, is very strong that she recOg-

must in some way have opened the door.
