Another story about B,itz.

A Harrisburg correspondent of the PhiladeI phia Bulletin tells eggs -ceent story about Sig. Bilz, which Is worth copying. u is as follows:
 .unt within the last few days, there has been scarcity of eggs al the morning meal of niue host at over ey's. Certain plots had been talked of conseiracies formed and ma,nes threaie ned, to force a proper supply of the needIul. when all at once we were literally deiuged with the riches Of hendom. Curiosity was al it's height. wonder had exhausted its vocabulary of queries and Il conven- lion of epcures was about being formed 10 enquire into the expectancy of siIng the matter to the bot tom, when all at once the secret came out-the mys tsry was rxploded--Wels Beverley had got hold of cignor Bn1's egg bag! The premises were in com moti0n--coniecture al fault-but satisfied in the enjoy rnent of our new found luxury, we began 10 sink into lazy indifference 10 how they came about. when wonder popped in upon us!-- The eggs were siire--a dark liIe man al the foot of the brcakiAst tabie insisted upon it-the troupe of fanny Africans behind our chairs stared in mute surprise, whist egg aiier egg was eoad'mRed as ca ging sn occupant. whose cries for relief could be sincIiy beard sil over the dining hall. What was te be danef The dark little man insisted upon his right to sn egg which was not already eagdged snd where wss it to come from' Tka whole scene grew ridicaiossly alarming, when some ono hinted that Blltz might be about he dark little man be romr suddenly pacifed rose quietly from the table and took himself off It is hardly necessary 10 add that the eggs immediately Ceased 10 sociierate and inc morning reysst came 10 an adinIable cohciu- sion.

order of odd Fellows.

The Grand Lodge of this Order in Maryland, ad- journed on the ist fast. The Baltimore eorrispou- dent of iLe Washingtos Union, says they have adopted series of resolutions "that will excite much interest in the Order throughout the Union. In the irt pa"e. they protest that the Grand lowing hx on the State Grand Lodges 10 pay 10 their deleg,,es per dieun and that the resolution adopted tolha, effect is in violation of their con s,iuiion. Secondly, they protest that the calling of a specis meeting of the Grand Lodge in Sep tember, a, Cincinnati, for the purpose of altering the constittion--whch new constitution is 10 le submitted Sr ratification 10 the annual meeting of said lodge, be held few days after at the same piace-evines pr.eipitaney eotireiy unworthy of so grave an, important suhject. hirdly, they earnestly priest against the law of the lust session, dividing the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of New York, withat the consent of that body, as sn ss- sumption oipower that efectGally declares the State Grand .odges as mere creatures of their cap rice. Fourtly that the articles of separation be- tween the Ghnj Lodge of Maryland aud the rep reseniatiVes oithe several States are the fundanen ial law and lhy protest against ihe meeting o any Grand Lodge lf the United states out of the limits of the State q Maryland. A resolution was also passed, asserting that Maryland does not respond to the circular O the Grand Lodge dem inding the per diem tax Soit would seem there is a serious dif-
