POISONOUS GLovEs.-0ur attention has been
directed by respected correspondent to a case
which he ascIibes due TO the wearing of gloves
dyed with some poisonous substance. His pa
tient, a lady, purchased box of green-colored
gloves at well known and respectable house.
In none of the gloves was the dye perm ,nent,
for upon the hand becoming heated, it was
stained to such degree that warm water would
scarcely remove it. After wearing few pairs
for the gloves rapidly became shabby the lady
noticed vascular eruption presenting itself at
in few days proceeded to liberation. Under
suitable remedies the rash disappeared, but
upon the lady resuming the wearing of the
gloves, the mischief recommended with renewed
severity. Upon our correspondent examining
the gloves further, and analysing a solution
prepared from them, he discovered the existence
of an arsenitical salt, which at once cleared up
the mystery Of the case, AMI the nature of the

CRF DITABLE CHAPTER The New York
Nation, which cannot be accused OF partiality
to the administration, says:
The names have been announced of the
lawyers who will act as counsel for the Unit
ed States before the Geneva arbitrator. They
are Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts. and
William NJ. Meredith, of Penns, lvania. Mr..
Cushing has long been known as one of the
ablest lawyers in the country, and thongh his
old time political enemles-we believe he has

enough, or bad enough as LAWYER to make
him exceedingly bad as statesman. they will

rancors of the days when he "Tylerized.v and
the la'er days when he YVES for "the Consttu-
tion as it is, and the Fugitive Slave Law. and
against the negro. Partly this is due to his
llkeable personal qualities. partly to respect
for bis abilities, and partly to the fact that,
strict Democrat as he had been after leaving
the Wings, he did not, at the outbreak of the
rebellion, put himself on the side of the seces-
slonists. By the bar, Mr.. Cushile-who was
perhaps as able an Attorney General as the
United States has had-is esteemed as among
the hfst hat dozen lawyers in the country.
He has served repeatedly in the Massachusetts
Legislature, in Congress, on the bench of the
Massachusetts, Supreme Court, and in the
Cabinet. He is now seventy-one wears old

The Philadelphia Lincoln Monument.
which was unveiled Friday afternoon in Fair
mont Park in the Quaker City, represents the
martyr President sitting in a chair. and
holding in his right hand a scroll, represen
ing the Emancipation Proclamation. The
figure of the President, which is of bronze.
was cast in the celebrated Munich foundry.
The figure is colossal in size, measuring in
the sitting posture nine feet six inches high.
The model is by Randolph Rogers, the Amer
lean sculptor, now in Rome. On the south
face OF the pedestal is the inscription, ITO
Abraham Lincoln, from grateful people, !"
on the east face the memorable Gettysburg
words, and on the north face are the conclud.
ing sentences of the Emancipation Procla-
nation. The military display was exception
ally brilliant.

A SHOCKING SUICIDE.-About half-past five
o'clock Thursday morning tie residents near
Silver Mine Brook, at South Norwalk, CT,
were aroused by terrific explosion, which was
found to proceed from the house of Horatio T.
Cook. The neighbors, on proceeding thither,
witnessed pitiful spectacle. The house was
literally rent in twain, it's east end bio Rn cut
the root lifted, windows gone, ceilings demol-
ished, and all on fire. But the most slckening
sight OF all was the blackened, mutilated and
disfgured corpse of poor Cook, which lay
buried in the burning debris. Mrs. Cook,
orOnod by tho. "-nnnssian--was -irantlcally
throwing herself about and screaming 1of
The flames were extinguished and Mrs Cook
account of the affair it appears that Mr.. Cook
had been i'll for several weeks with ntermit-
tent fever and congestion of the brain. just
before daylight on Thursday he took a key half
full OF powder, which he used in his business
as a rock blaster, from one OF the bed rooms,
laid himself over it and touched it off. Pre-
viOus to exploding the powder he bad carefully
gathered up all OF Mrs. Cooks clothing il, the
upper part OF the house and thrown the gar
mentS down cellar with a view to their preser-
walton, thus showing entire elaboration in
planning and executing his destruction. To
the fact that the house was very sliAhtly con
structed, and the windows up and doors open,
is 10 be attributed the remarkable escape OF
Mrs. Cook, the only other person in the house.
Mr.. Cook belong ed to a family predisposed TO
insanity.

terday's Tribune accused him OF defrauding the
government OF $112,O 600 in filling contract for
hats and and supports the charges by reports
of committees aud afidavits furnished by Hen
ry S. Olcott, formerly an officer in the War
Department.. The Tribune says Murphy de-
served to be sent to fort Lafayette and that the

him, has had bis clutch in the throat of the Re-

The New York frauds continue to be the
principal topic of news. No progress was
MADE Saturday in the investigation of the
voucher robbery. The evidence against Hag-
gerty and Bsulch will be most positive it is
said, though it is believed the Americus Club
Will ell swear to the absence of the men at the
time OF the THEFT. The conviction of the rob-
beers will ruin Tweed and Connolly, who are
moving heaven and earth for the acquittal of
the prisoners. The previous action of the
committee of seventy, the appointment of an
honest man to the Compttoller's Office, and
other evidences of the popular determination
to get at the bottom OF the corrupt business
and take a new financial departure, have
strengthened the credit of the city.
The present Democratic contest is well de-
fined fight between the Central Committee and
Tammany, and has grave interests for all
classes and all parties 1t encourages honest
Democrats with hopes of thorough reorgan-
ization of their party, relieved of the load of
dsrepute it has borne from Tammany.
s. j. Tiden, chairna an OF the Democratic
State Committee says that when first informed
OF the loss of the vouchers by Connolly, he
told Linn that the community. exasperated at
what they had endured would either accuse
Connolly OF stealing vouchers, or that liner
persons with corrupt motives had already done
