The Responsibility of Secret Societies.

An interesting case was sent to jury
in Common Pleas Court on Saturday af-
ternoon, which involved point OF i'm
portance to members of cret societies.
In October, 1874, John Vaughn loaned Ca
pouse Lodge, I. o. o. F., of Hyde Park
$1,000, and felt secure in Judgment note
for the amount from the trustees of the
Lodge, and obtained judgment upon it in
LuZerne county. Subsequently the real
estate Of the Lodge was sold, and the
money raised thereby was exhausted be-
fore the Vaughn Judgment was reached.
Subsequently the CapOuse Lodge surren-
deTed its charter, and Mr.. Vaughn died,
and his administrators began suit in as
SumpSit against sixteen members of the
Lodge. The facts as stated above were
not brought into question, and the point
at iSsne turned solely upon the rights of
plaintiff to collect from individual men,
bers the debts owing by the Lodge. The
case was given to the jury Saturday af-
ternoon, and in his charge Judge Handley
held that the Lodge was co-partnership
and that the members were liable for its
debts. That although a Judgment had
been obtained in Luzerne county, it had
not been satisfied, and suit against the
individual members would lie. The Jury
retired, and after brief absence, return
ed with verdict in favor of the plaintiff
and against the members of the Lodge,in
the sum Of 81 1892, "a, being the full claim
of the plaintiff. Several other claims
against the Lodge depend upon the ver-
dict in this case.-Scranton RepublicGn.
There are no troubles that wear upon
the temper and sap the foundations Of all
peace and comfort as do borrowed troub-
les; because there is no provision made
in the divine economy to help to bear
them. We have no promise that strength
will be given to sustain US under the
weight of imaginary burdens. Real trials
bravely and patiently borne. are moral
tonics, strengthening and purifying in
their influence, lifting the soul to higher
levels and broader outlookS. But 1t is
only receiving them as tney come, one
day ut time, and taking no thought for
the morrow, that they will yield us the
full measure of good with which they are
fraUght.-Fdith Harper.

POWER OF THE PLUG HAT.-The plug hat
is virtually sort of social guarantee for the
preservation of peace and order. He who puts
one on has given hostage to the community
for his good behavior. The wearer of the plug
hat must move with certain sedsteness and
propriety. He cannot run. or jump, or hoop,
or get into fight at the peril of his head gear.
All the hidden influences of the beaver tend
toward responsibility. He who wears one is
obliged to keep the rest of his body in decent
trim, that there may be no incongruity between
head and body. He is apt to become thought
full through the necessity of watching the sky
whenever he goes out. The chances are that
he will buy an umbrella, which is another
guarantee for good behavior, and the care of
hat and umbrella--porpetual and eXacting as
il must ever be-adds TO tho sweetness Of his
character. The man who wears 8 plug hat
naturally takes to the society of women. with
all its elevated tendencies. He cannot go
hunting or fishing without abandoning his
beloved hat, but in tho moderate enjoyment of
eroquet and lawn tennis he may sport his
beaver with IMMUNITY. In other words the
constant use of plug hat makes man com-
posed Ia manner, quiet and gentlernanly In
conduct, and the companion of the ladies'
The inevitable result Is prosperity, marriage
and church acknowledgements.

Arctic Explorations,
AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

Mr.. W. Fl. Glider, of the New York Herald
who was with the Schwatka expedition to the
Arctic regions in search for relics Of Sir John
Franklin, delivered an interesting lecture at
the Academy Of Music, Philadelphia, not long
since.
On landing, in August, 1873, ut Hudson bay
the Esquimaux hockcd around the expcdition
dressed in animal skins, good-natured, dirty
and incorrigible beggarS, and particularly
anxious to get possession of knives, needles
and tobacco. On the first of April of the fol-
lowing year the party set oat in three sleds
with u dogs, accompanied by ID Esquimaux,
on years journey in search of Franklin S
relics with but ono months provisions, their
main dependence being upon the game of the
country for food They killed SD reindeer,
besides many seals and quantity of small
game. They found, during their search, evil
dences Of where men had been, where they
had died and been buried. The natives many
years before, had found three skeletons. a box
containing books and piece Of magnetic iron.
All Of the bodies had received decent burial
until the last Of the crew had starved to death.
Mr.. Glider gave graphic description of the
travels of his party through Greenland and the
| habits of the people, also an amusing nara
tive of the characteristics of the Esquimaux
dogs. 1t was astonishing, he said, the burdens
that the people carried upon their backs; the
mothers generally had to carry their children,
the fathers refusing 10 do {" except nccasion-
ally, when they would consent 10 carry the
heir, bnt they would rather leave their daugh-
tiers behind as food for wolves than lower their
dignity to carry female child. The natives
never wash Water in winter is too scarce an
| article to waste, it being obtained from ice
melted over lamp. The Esquimaux are po-
| lygamists, but he did not see any who had
| more than two wives. As soon as a girl ar
| rives at a certain age she marries, and when q
man dies his wife is taken by some one else
So there are no old maids or widows there
| Laughter There are no wedding ccremo.
MES, and marriages are generally contracted
while the parties are children The men are
accommodating about their wives, and if {
man wishes to go on journey whose wife hal
a child, he trades off for the time being with
one who has q wife without such incumbrance
With all their faults, the Esqumax have on,
shining virtue-charity.
