Samnel Willard, of this city, Past Grand Representative, has recently ‘written a very in- teresting artide for the Companion, Which we give below. The secret orders have come to be recognized as a powerful element in society, and the 1aws of thelr existence and’ growth are. proper subjects of inquiry and study. Prof. Willard says: 3 1 herewith give a table, which. shows ‘how many lodges wero reported by each juris- diction to the G. L. of U, S., 8s shown by its last Journal (pp. 6,440-8,441), and bhow niany members to a lo:&n each jurisdiction shows on an average. Ipresume that the lodge at Lynn, Mass., which has 700 members, Bay State Lodge, is the largest in the Order—it is_a monstrouslodge; a perfect wonder. There are lodges ‘with bat ive ‘members; and we fear there are many such. The average of oll lodges is73; and outof the forty- 8ix § ietions sixteen have an average above this at that average, and twenty: Pine are below it. The average of lodges inthe District of Columbia is five and a b times the average of those in Texas. Jurisdicen. Lodges. Ave. Jurisdict,n. Lodges.

So we find that in thefirst ten juris- dictions in our lat are included the firat six States of densest population, viz.: District of Columbia {8 Btate, for our parposca), Massachusetts, Rhode sland, ‘Connecticut, New Jereey, and New York, So, too, Texas, the Stateof sparsestpopulation, stands at the foot of the list. Of course, to build npn lodge there must be many people aroand its Jocation, and thus o local density of population. Thus we cansee how California, with a_popalation of one person to 24 square mills, can stand next to New York, which hog‘ at the Jast census, ninety- toree persons to each square mile. The popula- tion of California must lie in districts and towns of moderate or great density, so that there are very Inrge lodgesIn Son Francisco, and lodges above the nversge, on’the Whole, all throngh the juris- diction. * In -Nevads, where the lodges are few, the same reason will explain the high average; for, where there gre but few lodges in a State, they will De all formed in the large places, and will thas have o high average. Hence the five lodges of British Columbis have a bigh average. - 1 tiilnk: there are causes which are not within the reach of the statistician, and which depend npon the history of the Order. Wh; the Lodges in all the New England States so large an the average, except in Vermont?—und why is that an exception? 1s Vermont more aparsely seitled than New Hamp- shire? No; their density is nearly lhe same. Nor are they strikingly different as to large towns. But away back in 1852, the State of New Hamp- shire voted for Jackson and Van Buren, the Demo- cratic candidates, while Vermont was the only State that voted for Wirt and Ellmaker, the Anti- Masonic candidates—this indicates that the move- ment agalnst *‘secret eocicties™ took strong hold in Vermont, and has checked the growth of the Order of 0dd Fellows, o that all its Ladges are small. . f On the other hand, I am assared that in Califor- nia the Order of Odd Fellows is held in very high esteem, ond enjoys great popularity. Thiy Tesult 14 due largely to the labors of Parker and Morse, and such men, in the early days of the migration .and to the_ benefactions of their labors. Here Todges are large, having no hoetile tendency to struggle against, but being regurded as units of an institation that has done good work. One of the singularities of the table is the almost identity of the averuges of several contiguous West- ern States, —Kentucky, 50; Indiana and Michigan, - 54;Tllinols, 51; Wisconsis, 55; Jowa, 53; and Min- nesota, 54, There ig asimilar group of thegouthern-: ‘most States, toking ont Georgia, Loulsiana, and Sonth Carolina;, the rest, scven in mumber, all Tange from 3010’ 33. Do’ these equalities in the two groups indicate similarity ofsocial conditions and modes of life of the gnuph: of the, groups ! 1suspect so. One can sec the reason whythe three excepted States of the Sonthern group should be exceptions, as there hasbeen more_ personal power in the Order in the States that has given us De Saussure, Boylston, Griffin, and Race, and which have the largercities. ' It ishighly creditable to the 0dd Fellows of Texas that they maintain 168 lodges, even if they are small. It is but s fow years ago that the jurisdiction of Tilinois had an average of but thirty-five members to a lodge. 1 suspect that the sizes of Lodges is Infin- enced in some States by 8 persistent.policy on the art of snccessive Grand Officers and Grand odges. 1f, for instance, the Grand Masters will never géant a charter for a second Lodge In & town o city until the first onc has become inconvenient- 1y large, the result must be & smaller number of ' 'odges’ of grester aversge size. Iilinois hasa large number of Ledges, aid an sverage below the medium; its Grand Masters have readily allowed two or mare Lodges in a clty where one, if.well conducted and harmonions, would have been sufll- clent. Thusbur last Junrnal of the Grand Lodge of Tilinois shows in one town two Lodges with only 117 members; in auother, three Lodges with 237 members. 1 think the policy of Maryland Would not aliow this state of things. 1If the num- Der of Lodgestn Illinols werebrought down to benr e same proportion tothe total po ulation that the Lodges of Maryland bear, we should have but 223 Lodges; or throwing the colored people out of the population of Maryiand, 285. Thelnfluence of the freat City of Baltimore/moy ‘offset that of Chicago. ut Hlinois has 406 Lodges. Whichis the best policy?—or. are both equally goodt VIR 3 aINIA. ‘The Grand Lod% met at Alexandriz April 11 Grand Master A. B.

BosToN, May 10.—The first keen edge of ex- citement in the Dickinson furore has just cal- minated, and all Boston pretty much is now en- gaged in animated discussion upon the subject. Never before, say the experienced oncs, has not _only Boston, but all New England, been in such a state of fever heat as during this’ weck pre- ceding Miss Dickinson’s debut. Neiw York too sent on her Interested delegation of friends and critics, and long before the curtain rose the house was, not merely * packed,” according to conventional phrase, but literally overflow- ing. Truly it seemed as’if “everybody 7 was there. Poets, painters, philosophers, literary and professional mén, turned out by hundreds. T. B. Aldrich, W. D. Howells, and Mark Twaln were conspicuous in one of the ‘stage boxes." ‘That ceustic . eritic, Frank Sanborn, of ‘the who is 50 well knownas | Springfield Republican, a literary scholar in Boston, and who is a friend, of Miss Dickinson’s, was centrally placed fn the sudience, while another {riend, who en- couraged -her in both ‘her early career and this, WENDELL PHILLIPS, OVERLOOKED THE AUDI- ENCE AND STAGE from one of the balconies with those Leen blue eyes of his. As the minutes fled by before the rising of the curtain, which was & little delayed, the buzz of speculation and prophecy ran wild. Of course her wardrobe is. superly, but she can’t make 2 very fine appearance with that fig- ure—stoops, round-shouldered, you know.” “And her voice; that will be against her.” «But her earnestness will cary a great deal!” These were s few of .the comments "that reached my cars. But presently the comnfent coases as the curtain rises, and we look upon the mimic royal ens’ where Wolsey, the wily Cardinal . (Mr. J. C.

But .we wait awhile longer, and greet Lord }Tmrf J Percy—young M ¢k, who always looks well, and who looks a very handsome fellow just now, and who speaks with his accustomed spirit to Sir Henry Norreys of his love for dune. ‘While Sir Henry Norreys is remonstrating with him and tells him of the King's infatuation for his adored one, to all of which Percy returns the - vehement answer, love her!” there is a rustle of &l and a woman's_figare richly dothed seen coming round the lcn walk.

Yet as the scenes follow each other, as the plot thickens by the machinations of VFolsey, and we come to the love-scene between Annéand Lord Percy, where Percy denounces ‘her as untrue to him, and shows her for proaf a Iotter in ber handwriting relinquishing him, and where Anns discovers to him that thisis the Cardipal’s - work and mnot hers—as we come £o this point, Miss Diclkinson's personal power, her earnestness of }mxpose and character, begin to be. sensibl elt.

It keeps close to_the text, it does not falter in power or expression, and it is fullofa %udon which by-and-by Dickinson will herself be able to interpret more readily.
