TORONTO, September 24.-Thc Sovereign
Grand Lodge, I. o. o. f., adjourned yes

strong Inducements, Cincinnati, Ohio, was
chosen as the locality for the next session
of the Grand Lodge. The Revisory Com

hnustive report, tho discussion of which
occupied much time. The report, however,
with some alterations was accepted. This
makes n radical change in the degrees, re.
ducing them from five to three in number,
and also changing the language and style
SO ms to present them with the same effect

among some of the older members whether
it is an Improvement, but time will show.
The appeal cases from California, of II. r..
Dorance and G.. w. Lewis, have been acted
on by the Committee the former sustained,
the latter dismissed. The point involved
In each is about the same, and tho decisions
merely affirm n well.known law of the
Order, viz that the question of dues, bene-
fits and Lodge finances is entirely and ex-
clusively under the Jurisdiction of subordi-
mates, and neither Grand nor Sovereign
Lodges can interfere with them, unless
said subordinates are using their funds for
purposes prohibited by constitutional law.
Returns received at the Census Office in
dictate that the population of the United
States will be little over forty-nine millions.
Some of the back counties, particularly in
tho West, are panning out handsomely. In
New England and the South, where it was
calculated the increase would be compare
lively slight the returns show larger gains
than were anticipated. This is particularly
the case in New England cities. New York
has over five millions, Pennsylvania four
and quarter millions, Ohio, about three
and q quarter millions. The race between
Ohio and Illinois for third place is very
close, Illinois has greatly the advantage
in having n larger territorial extent, and
can ultimately hold more people. 1t is
probable, however, from the returns re-
ceived, that Ohio will hold third place, al.
though the official count will be necessary
to determine.
Writes a London correspondent Of a
French paper: "No one in England who
has not $4,000 year { unless he is very
extravagant) eats oysters now. There
are coarse natures of the same class that
eat whelks, who condescend to the Medina
or Dutch oyster, but they are nobodies
The exquisite native was formerly the
precursor of all good dinners. Don't you
remember how Mrs. Nickleby speaks of the
gentleman who always ate couple of
dozen Holsters before dinner to give him an
appetite, but it is now almost stranger to
my palate. Under these circumstances, the
article in the Medical Record, this week,
Why We eat Oysters Raw, is not only
superHuous, but a mere mockery and insult.
What use it to tell us that the combination
of its glocogen and the hepatic dastase
is exceedingly wholesome 1t may be SO,
though if it is, it is ono Of the few cases
whore nice thing turns out to be whole
some; but what docs it matter if one is never
to taste it again."
General Melikoff, the Cars double, is

ing negotiations with Nihilists of high rank
who were confined in the fortress of st.
Paul. Under . strict pledge Of secrecy, and
on an assurance that their future should
norbe neglected, he obtained from them
the namss of the " men of light aud leading"
among the Nihilists. The two prisoners
were rewarded for their revelations by inn
mediate release. General Melikof next |
put himself in communication with all who |
had been described as prominent members
OF the conspiracy. As he had done with the
first two, so he did with them. Treating
