A Missouri Horror.
Missouri Republican.


Lowell has a first-class horror. Yesterday
afternoon the frightfully mutilated body of
a white woman or girl vas fotmd oh the
river bank, at the foot of O'Fallon avenue, a
couple Of hundred yards east of where the
Hanson bone-yard was. The spot is one
seldom visited by any one, and body might
lie there month without being discovered
This one had evidently been there for several
dey5-possibly week, as 1t was
very much decomposed. it was naked,
and there is no probability that
it will ever be identified, for the head was
missing. Deceased was, according to the
Judgment of several who saw the remains, a
young girl, but even this could not be posi-
lively determined. The trunk and limbs were
intact, save that a terrible slash, evidently
made with q razor or YPrF sharp knife had
opened the abdomen all the way across.
Just where the neck joined the head another
slash on the right side bad made very deep
cut, running upward toward the front, SO as
TO cut off some heshy part of the chin. This
was evident from the smooth edge on the
flesh there. The balance of the neck was
all ragged, and seemed to indicate that the
head had been torn off, or eaten off by logs;
after the deep cut had been made on the
neck. There were no other evidences of
by hogs, there should be a skull remaining,
but there is none. The body is not
the refuse Of disaeot.ng toorn; and there is
no room for any other supposition than that
a most atrocious murder has been commit
ted, the head and clothes being removed to
prevent Identification. No female is missing
in that part of town, and the probability
that
THE MURDERED GIRL
was taken from the city up there, or was
caught in that neighborhood, outraged and
murdered. The police are at a loss for some
clue to work upon; and the worse reflection
Is, that the impossibility Of identification
carries with it the impossibility of convic-
ton even should the right party be caught.
It is simply sickening mystery, and the
exhibition of tho ffightful remains at the
morgue can do nothing to solve it.

Why are fat people always complaining?
asks some one who enteriains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
synonymous with lat. Fat people complan
because they are diseased. Obesity is an
abnormal condition of the system, in which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements Of
the food are assimlated to the partial ex-
clusion Of the muSclC-forming and brain
producing elements. In proof of this, is
only necessary to assert the wcll.knOwn
fact that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for mental
powers or activity. Besides, they are the
easy prey of acute and epidemic diseases,
and they are the frequent victims Of govt,
heart disease, and apopeXy. Allan's Anti
Fat is the only known remedy for this
disease. 1t contains no acid, is absolutely
harmless aud is warranted to remedy the
most confirmed case of obesity, or corpu.

FOraging Ants.
.allace's A." Tropical Nature.


The foraging ants OF the genus eciton
are another remarkable group, espe-
cially abundant in the equatorial forests
Of America. They are true hunters,
and seem to be continually roaming
about the forests in great bands, in
search Of insect prey, They especially
devour maggots, caterpillars, white
ants, cOckroaches, and other soft insects,
and their bands are always accompanied
by hocks Of insectiyorous birds, who
prey upon winged insects that are con-
tinually trying to escape from ants.
They even attack wasps' nests, which
they cut to pieces, and then drag out
the larve, They bite and sting severely,
and the traveller who accidently steps
into horde Of them will soon be over
run, and must make his escape as
quickly as possible. They do not con-
fine themselves to the ground, but
swarm up bushes and low trees, hunting
every branch, and clearing them of all
insect life, Sometimes a band will en-
ter a house, like the driver ants in AZ
RIGA, and clear it of CockrOaches, spi-
ders, centipedes, and other insects
They seem to have no permanent abode
and to be ever wandering about in
search of prey, but they make tempo
rary habitations in hollow trees, or
other suitable places.
