(Special to tho St. [.ouU Ulobe-IloinotrJl ) L'UHiADK?ruiA, November IO.-Tito medical profession of this city uro inter ested in it remarkable cuso wliicli is now engaging tho uttoution t>f tltrco of tho most eminent professora iii the Universi ty of Pennsylvania. Tlioro is probably nt> parallel fcconleil in thc books, ?inti tlio long disoussctl question of pre-natal inlbience has rcccivctl n corroboration that cannot 1 ?nt fail tt> convinco its most skeptical opi>ouont8. Tho case is inter esting, not univ t<> mctlical nun, but tu tito public generally, inasmuch as it re lates a strange story ?ol how greet! for wealth anti fame caused two persons lo imporil two lives. Antoine llelliui, a ( ?entu se, known iu tho show business as Tony Lkilloiitinc, was marrietl lifteoil years ago tt) Maria Griggs, who was thou it bareback rider in Robinson's circus. Bellini was un acrobat. \it? r (hoir murringo tho pair went to langland and from tlicncc to I'ranee, where they engaged in their re spective lines of business. They re turned to America in 1870. At that limo there was a great demand among pro prietors of side-shows and must nins for freaks. Millio Christine, tho two-headed girl, was at tli.it time Hilder tho manage ment of Wilburn Smith, and was draw ing a weekly salary ol sl'M), Charley Tripp, the armies- mau, and Ann Leake, tho armless woman, were receiving thc extraordinary salary of 8200 o w eek cadi. Thoso remarkable little dwarfs, know n as thc Wild Men of Bnruco, wera' bring ing in u weekly income ?,i ??$000 to their manager. Even tho As nee children, Tom and Hattie, were valuable pieces of property, mid readily commanded ttbattt tho same sum. A UOIUtlULK IDIiA. Lt was in tho carly pari ct* LS77 when Uellini lu came iiiibiu d with the Iden that there was au immense fortune awaiting tho mau who could produce a freak that should eclipso all other freaks cither in hideousness or oddity. With this thought uppermost Bellini subjected himself to a most painful mutilation. Ho scared and burned his thumb and thc three lingers on each side of his index fingers with sulphuric acid, suffering the most agon izing pinn. Iiis intent was to cause thc thumb and lingers to slough oft", anti, in credulous as it may appear, bc endured thc torturo for nearly a week. Ho was then taken lo n privait hospital on Wost Forty-ninth street, Now York, by Iiis own request, and there asked that the mutilated portion of his hands bo am putated. This was refused, ami an ellorl was made to heal np tho .-ore. hut Bi ilini was persistent, and upon tho ab solute refusal of tho surgeons to do what hu wanted them to du, he loft tho hos pital, and, either by threats or entrea ties, induced ins wife lo perform thc operation that ibo New York surgeons refused to consider. Ho came to Phila delphia, and for nearly n year lived iu thu southern section of the city, rmbsist ing upon thc little hoard thal ho had managed to save in Knglund. in tho spring of 1878 Bellini oponed what is known in Philadelphia as a "hummer shop," that is,ngroggory whore whiskey i; sold for from turco to six cents a gloss. His hands hud then healed up and pi c M uted a most cn' ions- appear ance. There was nothing but one long linger lo each of thom, and tho lip hail .'.cen so broadened by usc as to give them tho appearance of tho head of nu adder. By means of hand hills Bellini advertised himself throughout thc neighborhood ns thc snake-linger niau; und people came from great distances to seo bim. Ho managed to obtain several engagements with small aide-shows trav eling with I lui nilli!*:; circus, but the freak market was then pretty well Hood ed, and lie did uot begin to realize what Ito thought ht would. rf.lt l- l .CT HOM,NTH' ltAU.Mt'N v. H was at this time thal Bellini entered into a most extraordinary compact with ins wife. Ho was a mn ii of some little education, and, having .studied for thc medical profession in his carly youth, iiati a .smattering of physiology and anatomy. Mrs. Bellini was so thorough ly in accord with her husband's ideas that she w.is perl? eily willing to become tin: mother oi fl tuonstro tty, if nature could lie coerced into bringing forth sueli ab unnatural being. Boitin] manu factured n hideous looking adair, wliicli might resemble either an alligator ?tr n Chinese idol, and for several weeks in succession ho would awaken Iiis wife ?l'Oni a sound stet p und suddenly thrust thia uncanny object in front Of nor. in December, 1878, tho woman gave birth to a malo child. Ji was perieotly formed and far moro beautiful as to its physical development than either lather or moth er. Bollini then realized that tho theory wliicli ho bad formed was wrong, bc causo thc mother was prepared for tho surprises and it made no menial im pression upon nor. Bellini tie ii told Inn wifo that he would abandon this iden and that they would thereafter gain their living outside ol thc show business, This waa only a blind, Ninctcon months after tho birth of tho first child Mrs. Bellini was called to tin front door one day, and when she opened it she was con froritcol by n most repulsive object, it was a blind man w hose sightless orbs woro turned towards her eye -, ami whoso outstretched hands each clutched a writhing .snake. The woman started back in affright amt foll in i faint in tho entry. Win n she recovered tho blind mun ami his snakes lind disappeared, but thc woman s husband cullie into tho house a few moments afterward*, his face beaming With plonsttro. The day slipped by and tho Bnnko-fingor mun saiti nothing further about tho agree ment he liad made .some two years be fore. T1IIC STARTLING ItEBUt/T, Mrs. Bellini fora second timO became il motlier. Uer chiltl was a girl ami e. most extraordinary creature Not only wu? it sightless, hut that pori ion of thc face where thc eyes ought to bo was ns Hinootli as thc palm of a /nan's liam). Pr. .Ballard, who was thc accoucheur was so interested in thc case that ho Called in two other physic.ans, Pr. A. H. .Brown and George M. Hatton. Tho lit de stranger was not only totally blind, Huit ils hands were strangely malformed. There Morned to bo simply on elonga tion of the forearm, a .straight piuco nf lb li ending in a linger nail. There wa., CC joint, anti tho only movement that the child Could make was at tho wrist, ft was determined ut ibo expiration of six weeks to perform an operation on the child's face and to out into tho (leah under th" frontal bones of tho skull, to fpo whether tho child by ibis means Could bo given its sight. Bellini lind boon very assiduous bl bia attention to Iiis wife and babe, and when this BUK? gestion was broached to bim ho modo tuc int'-A strenuous ?.'ejection. Tile doe tors thought that tho mun was either drunk or ornzy, and by a olovor strata gem une day manage I to got bini to take ;i trip to a distal.? part of tho eily, During hm absence tito operation wos| performed, but to tho intense amaze ment of tito Surgeons there was no eye ball underneath tho Mesh. Upon Bellini's return bo boeamo furious when bo h amed what had taken place, but cooled dow u ami exhibited tho greatest joy win n told that Iiis child was sightless and would ever lie so. He then con fessed to Dr. Mallard that it bad been ids wish and desiro for years to beconu the father of almost any monstrosity timi would excito tho attention of tho medical profession and the publie. tie had hoped, lie said, thal thu babe aright bc oven more of a monster, but that bo was very well satisiicd as it was. Strangely enough ids wife appeared to bc as mach pleased as be, aud begged thal thc sur geons should muko no at Iciupl to inter fere with Ibu extraordinary malforma tion. Thc ease became known among tho associates of the two physicians who weri> in attendance, and the ohild was carefully watched from Ibo tinto of its bi lib until now.
