ALLEGED MURDER OF A CHRISTIAN  GIRL BY JEWS.  On Tuesday a remarkable trial opened in the Court of Nyiregyhaza, a town near the celebrated Tokay vineyards, in the east of Hungary. The case arose from the disappearance of a young peasant girl of Christian faith, called Esther Solymosi, three days before the Jewish Passover of 1882. Up to this day the case has remained a complete mystery, and the allegation that she has been murdered rests upon the evidence of two boys, one five and the other fourteen years of ago, sons of Josef Bcharf, the Synagogue beadle of Tisza-Ealar. In order to explain the strosig feeling that exists on the subject in Hungary, it may be well to mention that just one year before—namely, at the time of the, Jewish Passover in 1881—a serious anti-Jewish riot took place at Kieff, in Russia, and this wasfollowed by severe persecution at Balla, and other places in the south of Russia_ The agitation was spread all over Hungary by agents of the Berlin Juden-hetze, who worked on the superstition of the Hungarian peasantry, by reminding them of the old charge against the Jews, that they must have the blood of a Christian, and, if possible, of a Christian girl, to celebrate the Passover. This superstition, which is to be traced to the times of early Christianity' in Rome, where it was used against the Christians by the Romano, has in fact never died out in Hungary, and whenever a Christian servant girl wilfully or otherwise, disappeared from the house of her Jewish employers during the time of the Passover, it was always believed by the peasantry that girl had been murdered for religious purposes, and many cruel persecutions resulted, although not one authentic ease of such murder has been proved. So, much being premised, it is easy to understand what followed after the disappearance of Esther Solymosi. Several weeks after the full description of her pereon and clothing had appeared in every newspaper the body of a girl was fished out of the River Theiss, near Tisza.Eszlar, in clothes exactly answering to those of the missing girl. It was asserted at the time that the post-mortem examination proved, to a certainty that the body could not be theta Esther Solyeaosi ; and the circumstance that it was dressed in Esther's clothes, or in clothes strongly resembling them, only added to the already existing mystery, and naturally suggeated that the murderers wanted to pass off a dead body, taken, perhaps, from ahospi. tal, as that of the girl. The latest addition to the voluminous evidence, however, throws doubt on this view, for Professor Hohnann, of Vienna University, who has thoroughly investigated the affair, testifies that, judging from age, height, and special marks, the hod' may have been that of the missing girl. The importance of this is obvious, for, if the story of the two boys, is true, Esther Solymosl's throat WES cut in the Synagogue, and it is admitted, that in the easesof the body found in the river, deai.b had bees produced by suffocation. The trial of the Jews amuse.' of the nueder of &Christian gininamed Esther Salomossy, at Tisza-Ender, began ait Nyiregylutz a, on Tueadv. M. KorniBs, was the presiding judge. M. Siceffort, the acting public prosecutor, addressed the court in support of the &tags against the prisoners, showing haw the accusation had grown out of the ea9uilies which had been made Into the 011100 of the death of the Ott Esther Salomosey. He contended tkit the girl had been murdered; that the crime was devised by the prisoners solomon Schwarz, Abraham Baxbaun, Leopold Braun, and Hermann Wollner; that Jotter& Scharf, Adolf Junger, A-braham Braun, Samuel Lustig, Lazarus Weissenstein, and Emmauel Taub were participators in the deed: and that Amsel Vogel, Jaakel Smilcvic a, David Ilerrko, Martin Gross, and Ignas Klien were sw,eno4ories, as they assisted in disposing of the body after the murder had been committed.  Hotrewax's Pime.—Dysentry, Diarrhoea and Asordered Bowels.—These maladies are ever pr, sent, and if left unattended frequently tern.:tiate fatally. It should be everywhere known Tint all these complaints originate in the prcscase of some undigested substance in the stomach or bowels, or of some deleterious matter in the blood, and that Holloway's ?WA can eliminate either wit% ease and expedition. They combine In a surprising degtee purifying, alterative, regulati g, and strengthening qualities, and thus fxsrt over every internal organ the wholesomely controlling influence so necessary for subduing excessive action in the human frame. Holloway's medicine may be advantageously taken sea means of keeping the blood pure and the. body cool—the only practicable plan of !namtaining health in youth, in manhood, and ota age.
