A mirouy Deed itecalied.
The Cqbaret Debene, a tavern in the
'Rue Haxo, near the walls of Pitis,
will shortly disappear. The tavern
.had acquired notoriety through the
.fact that in 1S71 the Co:munists
murdered fifty hostages-gendarmes
and priests-in its garden. Tne rag
ged population of Belleville, infuriat
ed by the bombardment of the city by
Government artillery, insisted on re
taliation; the fifty hostages were
brought from the prison La Roquette
to this garden, and then, without word
of command or order, shot or cut
down, and horribly mutilated after
wards. -New York World.

A CLAW-FIGERIED PEO'LE.
STRANGE DEFORYTITY I1 WEST
ERN NEW YOt.
Residents of Zoar Who for Four Gen
erations Have Devoloped Claw
Like Fingers and Toes.
HE most picturesque stream
in Western New York is the
Catta-:maguv., writes at corres-;.
I ponJent of the -New l orl- Sun.
Throiugh most of its course it is the
IoundOry line between the counties of
Erie and Cattaraugus, and it is not a
large stream ercept when melting
iisnows or autumn rains have swelled it
into a torrent. Rich farms. wooded
Ilopes, deep gorges w-hosc lofty walls
fnrm the high banks. as the natives
call them, and a tangled wildernest
tvhere nature still runs -iot, as she has
from the first; these mark the course
of the Cattarau,_,u;. The Indian name
is itself musically expressive, and ro
calls the days when only red men oc
CII.Pied its ban"Ks. There are still n
dJan-S along it, and the reservation
kamed for it contains most of the few
reiatining members of the Seneca
tribe, once the possso of all the re
gion frni Lake Erie to and beyond
the Genesse.
The reservation begins near the vil
1age of Gowannda, and just above there.
shut in by high bill, is the wildest
and most Inaccessible srot in the whole
region, the valley -of Zoar. Here
among the hills, whero strange facc
are rarely seen, is concealed a renark
able example of nature's occasional
vagaries and the strange persistence
of abnormalities through heredity.
Among the few residents of Zoar there
are several families of claw-fingered
persoas. They are not wild, but nearly
all of them bte a curious deformity of
the iners and toes which gives them
their name. Thy have livea h'ere many
yatrs, and alhhoughthirnigbo.
ar t'I iine to looAk mpon thuiem
sm a vsn, iey are no LOnrCT
regarka'. as epcily wonderfful, and
one h "avel th 'o l the valley q
ozi'11 tie witout once hear g a
word about its stranze inhabitin.
.no drivjin tbreugh the valley re
coutlY the wrAr c,1.ae across an old
farmer 1ioiiu-, hemlock bark by the
rfe1ie, adti inquired for the claw
'*lagered residents.
"Tat Rob)inz tribe?" was the re
p7y. "Yes, I've knowed some of 'em
f*or nizh on forty years, 'cause I was
rai7'd right here. Yes, their hands
is like claws. '6ome of *en. It's- a
m ih ecnr'Is thing, but 'tain.
nutlin muacl to look n.t. Why, folke
comes all the way from Buffalo [be
tween tbirty and forty miles] to look
at 'em, an' you' think by the way
thy gro o- about it that they was
go in to a cirous.
As weil as can be learned, the pa
caliar ,igital formation of the claw
v'cgeed joiks has existed in Zoar
throng f'Lour generations. In the
early part of the century a mac,
nvmed Llobbins set~tled in Zoar. He
*as remarkable because his fingers
and toe~s were so bent that they re
semnbled claws aomnewhat more than
they did huma'n digits. In other re
spects there was nothing pJarticularly
striking about his appearance. His
strauge, claw-like hands and toes be
camie objects of considerab)le curios
ity, but it does not a.ppear that Rob
bins ever explaiuned the origin of his
deo rmit. Of course, after it reap
peared in his diescendants it became
the' general opion that Robbins
h"imselL inher'itedi it. Others believe
that he was the~ founder of the claw
fingered family, and that lhe settled
in this remaote spot bjecause of his
disfigurement.
IS veral children were born to Mir.
and Mrs. Rlobbins, and all of' them had
teus al number of flngers and toes
ofr the usual size and appeanrance. Inl
he succeding generation, however.
he cl"w Ilagers reapp)eared, and since
hc they have been found on somec
I icmbers of every family that claims
descn tfrom the man who introducca
thiem into Zoar. A peculiar thing
ab out tis strange family heritago is
t - - it is impossible to tell where or
inl wht1t formi it will ap)2ear. Some
tie ti inherited from the father,
sometimes fro:n the mother; some
U;mes it appears in all the chiliren of
a fam'ly, at others only in one or two
out 0f a large n:inber ; somneimes a
father a.nd mother who have well
for nd hiads and feet will bring up a
family of chiliren allo f whom are haaly,
'nd~ perhaps vr iously,de formed. Again
I arents whose hands are so deformied
as to be uns'htly will have children
all with hands per feetly straight. 0e
casionally the deformity will appear
in aperson's hands and not in his feet,
or vice versa. Sometimes it is in his
right hand or loot and not in his left;
and so on till all the possible comnbi
nanon areexhauisted. The term
ea -ined certainly' would not fit
mire than half of those with deformed
':tremoities. Of course none of them
bas what could properly be called
claws.
T'be hands of these people of Zoar
arc. usually broad and short in th-?
p)alm, with stumpy fingers. The fin
ofr the in, and the joints in most
othmare either altogether lacking
oir are greatly out of plae. That is,
tim tinger may Lave only one joint or
it 'may ha"ve two elose together. It is
o. c:,urse dimeiult to manage such
ag'ers, and one might suppose that
two of these Zoar peole in shaking
hands wrould be likely to get hopeless
ly t'ngled up, thoughi such a thing
haIs inot b.cn known to occur. Hand'
are s-omnerimes f-mnd among them ir
ie.h the ting~ers are all joined to
her in on'e broad stump. Occasion -
n!ya chilid is born having aIn addi
he14 claw-nngered residents of Zoar
Li' theP ritationi of being so:n.e
whac quer, but this is very likely due
toth 'fc that the': ieN,rmity has
Lerve1 to shut them o:t from their
neighors. They seem to ha firly
cili'cnt, and their neighbors say
m'i ther are industrious and honest.
Tuey are seldom seen outside the vai
er ad live their own lives apara
rom~ others. In their valley ho.ur
they 're free for the niost part fromr
prin eves, and they may hope ior e
cotnuation of this immnunitv, for it
ihlkeiy to be a long timet before any
purt of Zoar is cut up into city lots.
A fewyers ago such a thingsem
nlot ieiprobable, for o:1 *'nd g~as were
disoveedin the vall in paying
gnai'tiesiC. The Stamard i Corc
pa'ny quickly secured leases of nearly
except for the two wc6 fit put down
no attempt has been made to develop
the territory. Now the excitement
has passed, and the eyrie of this
strange people will probably remain
undisturbed for many a long year to
come,
About Lead Pencils.
The ordinary-sized lead pencil, such
as one gets when he goes into a store
and asks for "a lead pencil," is seven
inches in lengb. and a trifle more
than a quarter of an inch thick. Pen
cils are niade in many different styles
and shapes and for many special uses.
Special peneils of very small diAmeter
are made for mathematical instra
ments. Another small diameter pencil
is the programme pencil made for
dancing orders, of which the sale in
this country is estimated at live thou
sand gross annually. Programmo
pencils are made round and hexagon
in shape, and finished in a variety of
colors and styles; some are wound
with silk. Programme pencils are sold
sharpened, and with a ring and a cord
and tassel attached, ready for use.
Other small pencils made are those
used for tablets and memoranduni
books. Checking pencils, with rei,
blue and green crayons, are now used
extensively in commercial establish
ments and by express and railroad
companies, and in almost every office.
Thousands of gross of checking yen
tils ir- sold annually, and the sale of
tiar is constanliy increasing. Crayou
pencils for various uwcs are made of
Qll colors and in many tints.--Boston

The IHorse hGon-.
Eleven years ago a horse was par
chased for the firc engin'e Portiau.i
No. 2. on Monjoy HI!. This horse
was called "Old Tom," and it heln:!,
draw the engine for six years an; was.
then disposed of. It has been draw
ing an asheart of late years, andl the
other day went by the engine hone.
Engineer Loring, who knew the b:rs",
well, fell into conversation with the
driver, and tol. him that he hadu't a
doubt that if the old horse was put ii
n1Is Stali and the gong was sou:q, ed he
would rush for his p|ace ia front U
the engize just as be used to do. Th,
driver doubted this, and they ngreed
to try it. Tbe old horse, now liftee
years old, was put in his stall, where
he hadn't been for five yearF. At the
first sound of the gong he started for
his place under the harness in froLt o:
the engitLe. He tried to go quickly,
but made a sorry exhibitiou of nimble
ness compared with his former habir.
