REPORTED IDENTIFICATION OF THR VICTIM AS A
LADY OF WEALTH.
London Correspondence New York World, Sept. 13.
AllYhe world by this time knows that eight
days ago n portion of the body of a woman—
the left breast and the lower part of the
chest—was picked np m the Thames, off
Battersea park; that a few hours later the
right breast of the same tody was found on the
shore higher up the river; that day alter day
other fragments ot the same mutilated corpse
rewarded the search that was now insti
tuted, and that among these Iragments was
the scalp and skin of the face, which, with a
touch ot diabolical ingenuity, had been strip
ped from the skull and the head. The ap
pearance of these fragments—or those first
found—showed that a murder had been com-

of rascality, there can be no doubt. Robbers, house-
burners, murdersrs, and thieves abound, and the only
reason why more of them are not personally known is
because they are not caught in their villainous acts, or
because they are afraid to practice them. Why sny
person or persons should attempt to throw the
street cars off the track we cannot conceive. There is
nothing to be made by such an operation, they cannot
hope to make any money nor can they expect to kill
anybody. The only result that can possibly arise is s
slight annoyance to the company and the doiay of the
passengers, who even then could walk home if it was
impossible or inconvenient to ride. Nevertheless we

OCR NEW YEAR PRESENTS.
We desire to call the especial attention of
our readers and the publio generally to the
schedule of arrangement by which the pro
prietors of the Herald will distribnte oyer
$7,000 worth of presents to the patrons of
this paper on the 1st of January next.
The idea is no new one, in the main, though
in its details it is original with the Herald.
The Courier-Journal, the best paper in the
South, has about such a plan, by which gifts
are distributed to its subscribers,
i. e., its weekly subscribers. The Cin
cinnati Enquirer, the leading paper of
the Northwest, has bnilt up a circulation
of over $100,000 by just such a scheme, and
other papers have adopted it with eminent
success. The theory is plain. The profit on
3.000 daily subscribers is say 35 per cent, of
the gross amount they yield. The profit on
10.000 daily subscribers is 65 per cent of the
gross amount they yield. We propose by a
liberal course to strike for the higher figure.
With this attained, we will give Georgia a
paper of which she may be proud. By a lit
tle exertion on the part of each subscriber of
the Herald this end may be speedily attain
ed. There is not a reader of the Herald
who could not, by five minutes’ exertion send
us the name of a new subscriber. If this
were done, the desired pitch will be reached
at ODce.
Bead the schedule of presents and show it
to your friends.

were made for such vessels passing through.
To meet this necessity, the bridge is to con

THB UTILITY OF THE CROTON BUG AS A
BEAUTIFIEH.
From the New York Herald.
“Is it a fact,” asks a correspondent, “as
you have asserted, that dealers ia Circassian
and Georgian female slaves in Egypt feed
their victims on roaches in order to make
them plump and beautiful ?” In answer we
will quote from a well known magazine the
language of a correspondent writing
about tbe “Egyptians at Home.” He
bad seen a dozen of these mountain
women Betting on shore, where they had just
landed from a ship. They were pale, thio,
rough-skined, tawny-haired, unkempt, in
coarsest attire, and were in pursuit ot fleas.
He expsessed his disappointment to an
Egyptian, dragoman standing near, who,
with a graceful wave of his hand, replied,
“Oh, Effendi! could you see these women
three months hence you would say that the
prophet had fitted them for heaven. Good
mashed beetles tgenus roach and Crotton
bog) and generous pUaf shall make them
plump; the daily bath shall give their
skins the hue of creamy milk and their
joints the suppleness and grace of
tho gazelle. With new health, their eyes
shall sparkle with mirth and be bedewed
with tenderness, the rose shall bloom on their
cheeks, and gold shall gild their tresses. God
is great!” And he might have added, “mash
ed beetles are the profit of the harem tra
ders.” The Egyptian beetle, then, being es
tablished as an article of food from which to
manufactuie beauties for Oriental seraglios
(and it is chronicled in very profane hiitoiy
that the solution ot pearls which Cleopatra,
queen of Egypt, prepared lor Marc Antony
was only intended as a sauce piquante for
the beetle hash with which she regniled
her Roman lover), it becomes an interest
ing question of ioquiry to ascertain how
far our domestic favorite, the Croton bug,
being of the beetle tribe, can be used in
the same category. The supply, as we have
already explained, ii inexhaustible, but we
fear the quality is scarcely high enough.
Although covering and devouring almost ev
erything that comes in its way, even to boring
into clamshells, onr bug has not reached that

Meetiug of the Democratic State Conven
tion.
Uric a, October 1, 1873.
The Democratic State Ooivention met at noon to
day. Mr. Beebe was chosen temporary chairman.
In his speech he advocated welcoming the Liberal Re
publicans to tbe Convention. A temporary Secretary
was appointed, and the cases of the contested dele
gations then referred to the Committee on Credentials,
consisting ot two frem each District. Tho Committee
was then appointed.
A committee was appointed to select permanent
officers. A resolution recognizing the Liberals and
inviting their co-operation was offered. Mr. Creamer
of tho Apoio Hall delegation attempted to speak, bnt
being recognized as one of the contestants, was rapped
to ordor. Great confusion ensued. Mr. Cresmer in
sisting upon speaking, and charged that the commit
tee on credentials had been packed. Amid great con
fusion recess was taken.
The convention reassembled at 4:30. Governor
Beymour entered the hall and was received with great
applause and the members rising.
Tli) comm.ttee on credentials reported in favor of
the admission of Tammany delegates from New
York Tbe report was adopted, whereupon the Apol-
loball delegates withdrew. A permanent organization
was then effected by the election of Horatio Seymour
President. On taking the chair he said, we met at
a time when an unueal interest was felt in the action
of a nominating convention. The State of finances
heavy burden of taxation, and frequent exposure
of corruptions excite the attention of the public
to the character of thoso who are placed before them as
candidates for office. Party ties will not hold voters to
support any who are not felt to be fitted for public
stations by integrity and capacity.
The real object of this convention must be to
place in nomination men of the highest character
and capacity to conduct State affairs, and if this is
doue we can elect them. The gains made by the Demo
cratic party at the election last spring show that the
popular currents have set in our favor. These town
elections also prove that great nnmbeis cf those who j upoa exhibition. He tay* that Cobb county will pet

were numerous other crafts that broke their anchorage.
Some were a to»aI Joss and all more or less

When the Indians were called up to receive

the revolvers and acted very hostile because
they were not forthcoming. They would not

equal to the emergency. He requested to

In regard to violence there are differences of opinion.
Our great absorbing duty is to carry our State, and to
give it a better administration and more fair and hon

thoughts to gaiu this end. We must put in nomina

shall feel when our work is done that it will be elected,
because we shall know it ought to be. If we do this,
