ECZEMA OF THE HANDS
Cured. Interesting Letter from a we'll
known Attorney.

EDITOR NEW ORLEANS PIcAYUNE: Sn,-Since
the fall of 1867, up to the last three weeks, have
been troubled with an eruption of the skin, which
the DOCTORS call by various names, but which Is
Rheum. The principal place of attack was my
hands, which at times, especially during the winter
time, were very sore.
At times the disease threatened to spread from my
hands and enyelop my whole body, Doctors have
been consulted in Philadelphia, Washington, and in
this city, with no more success than temporary
relief. After considerable expense, and much pain
and suffering, had come to the conclusion that
would as the saying goes have to grin and bear it.
About four weeks ago read in the itcaytrse the
known druggist, Mr.. LYONS, and resolved to try it.
purchased fifty cent box, and before it was half
used the disease had completely disappeared, and
feel certain that mine is permanent cure.
My object in sending you this letter is to make
known to other sufferers the value OF CUTICURA, and
thus benefit, if ever so little suffering humanity.
Yours truly, p. P. CARROLL,
Attorney and Counsellor at LlD.

r VIE nrcrprs FOR THE MOTHER,

JUDGE wYIIE DECIDES FOR THE MOTHER.
When THE STAR went to press yesterday,
Judge wylie was engaged In hearing the case OF
Josephine Dent, three weeks old child, on
writ Of habeas corpus issued on the petition Of
its mother against Mrs. Addison Dent and Mil
ton C. Dent. The respondents were represented
by Messrs. W. A. Cook and c. G. Cole, and they
flied the return to the writ. The return Of the
husband alleges that his life at his mother-in-
laws house was uncomfortable and he had re-
queSted his wife to leave and he would provide
for her elsewhere. He would repeat the offer in
court, stating that he had 81 900 worth OF furnt-
ture and would at once commence houSekeap-
ing or go into any boarding house she might
select There was no conspiracy to abduct the
child. but he had had conversation with his
mother and told his wife he would take the child
with the hope that his wife would follow it, and
she could secure its custody by living with him
In the mode proposed. Mrs. L. Addison Dent,
his mother. In hefreturn stated that she never
had the child In her custody, and denied that
there was any conspiracy to abduct it.
After short arguments, Judge Wylie said that
he should take the return as true; that 1t ad-
mitted the charge In the petition, and it
amounted to only this-that husband was at
tempting to make use of the possession of the
infant child of three weeks Of age to bring his
separate herself from the husband, but as to
that matter he was not informed. The return
showed that there was no fault either on his
side or hers. The fault was with the mother-in-
the wife than the husband That might be so,
but it was strange appearance Of things If the
wife had not proper affection for the husband
and was willing to stay away from him and give
him up upon the advice OF others. He did not
propose to go into any inquiry on the subject.
on the face of the return, the Child had been alb
Quoted by the father under false pretenses and
he was now seeking to force the wife, by play
ing upon her affection for the child, to do that
which she Is unwilling to do. He could not al
low any such thing to succeed, nor did he be-
lieve any court would allow a husband to alb
duct child of that tender age from it's mother
1t needed the mother and she the child. The
husband might as well put dagger to her
heart as to insist upon the possession of this,
her first child. He had his rfghts-let him as
sert them like man, but he must not be al
lowed to sacrifice mother, wife and child to his
Incorporate will. The child must go back to
the mother. The counsel for the respondent
noted an appeal Mr.. Garnett presented doc
tors certificate to the effect that Mrs. Dent was
not yet able to go out of doors, and the Court
directed the marshal to place the infant in the
custody of her sister, Mrs. Wake, for deliver
aDce to the mother, which was done. The re-
spective parties then left the chamber, and in q
few minutes mother and babe were reunited.
