the Woman,s Exenange.

We have heretofore noticed the fact that a
"Womans Exchange had been established in
this city. This is good institution that will
bear good fruit. In the larger cities they have
been successfully conducted, and the one or
ganized here, he have no doubt, will be cores
pondingly SO.
Steps are being taken to organize one in
Lynchburg, and in noticing that fact the
Lynchburg NeaUs says that "it is common
sense scheme to bring producers and consum-
ers together, and that Its inventors accepted
the decree of nature that q wOman's work
must be done mainly within sight of the
hearth stone. Through the medium of the
Exchange, the anxious toiler at home finds a
market for the product of her handiwork and
skill. 1t may be plain sewing. or the most
elaborate specimens of art needle WORK: deli
cate CONNECTIONS for the sick. or the more sub
stantial food preparations. or indeed anything
within the range of cooking; or 1t may be type
writing or literary work of higher order. or
in fact anything that woman can do OF in
trinsic commercial value. The Exchange gives
all of its members the opportunity to md pur-
chasers for what they can best produce with
out sacrificing their position within the home
circle. It is practical charity for those who
do not ask and who would not receive aims,
who would gladly avail themselves of the
means OF selfsupport through their own exer-
tions,
No more meritorious work has ever been I'M
dertaken, and it deserves the fullest measure
Of encouragement"

THE CHILD RECovERED.-The protracted
and interesting habeas corpus case in Lafay-
cite, Indiana, resulted, as 1t should have done
last week in restoring to the mother, Mrs. Lucy
Curtis (aee Hooke) her child. that had been
abducted in 1888 and carried to Indiana by her
husband Mr.. X. Curtis. Mrs. Curtis, with her
child, arrived here on last Saturday evening
on her way to her home in Highland county.
She has the congratulations of this whole COM
munity in her success at the trial, as she mas
had their sincere sympathies in her sore dis
tress since her child was taken from her. we
hope her child will grow up and be blessing
to her, With all her heart-aching and distress
and pecuniary loss she is fortunate In two re-
spects-she has recovered a cherished child, ana
gotten rid of a more than worthless husband.
After the above was put in type. we learned
from the Lafayette Qnd.) Morning Journal that
Mrs. Curtis and her child we're taken away in
q closed carriage and driven under guard OF
Deputy Mckee to the depot in such secret
manner as to prevent any attempt on the part
Of any persons to take possession OF the ehllo.
The separation of the father and child Is rep
resented as being very affecting. MIR. Curtis's
counsel have announced that they will ask for
a new trial, and that. If that is refused, they
will probably take an appeal to the supreme
Court.
