Philadelphia is all aliv»'to-day with the grand demonstration of the Odd Fellows, who celebrate the semi-centennial anniversary of their Order, with a degree of splendid pomp Which gives convincing proof of the wonderful growth and vigor of this great or. ganization. There is nothing so splendid in American ceremonials as the splendor of great masses of orderly, decent, intelligent American citizens. The grandest pageant America haß ever seen was the review of May 23d and 24th, 1865, when the great armies of the Republic swept through the streets of Washington, flushed with victory and re joicing over a restored Union and a crushed Rebellion. But although that famous pageant had all the brilliant insignia of war about it, its great significance came from the fact that it brought together the great mass of citizen soldiery, the men who had never divested themselves of their American citizenship,and who, a few weeks later, melted away again from an invincible army into the quiet indus trial pursuits of private life. The Odd Fellows, to-day, hold their Grand Review, and the pageant has the same fine moral features as those which attracted the eyes of the world, four years ago, to the Rational Capital. It is a great demonstration of organized citizen ship. It brings before the people one of the great results which have been worked out in the progress of our American growth. It is a grand illustration of the many blessings which an advancing civilization has con ferred upon the people of this free land, and this semi-centennial celebration of the foun dation of this great beneficial order is there fore properly made an occasion of marked interest, not only to its own members, but to the whole people. Thomas Wildey organized the first lodge of Odd Fellows in the United States, in Balti more, on the 26th of April, 1819; and from that little beginning, the body has grown to its present huge proportions of wide-spread influence. The extent of its numbers and the importance of its beneficent work may he understood from the following summary of its present statistics : On the 30th of June, 3868, there were 3,195 lodgesof Odd Fellows with 245,036 members, in the United States, of which 626 lodges and 66,235 members are in Pennsylvania. Since the foundation of the Order in this country, it has received 606,327 members, and expended upon the several objects of its organization $20,153,592. During the year ending June 30th, 1868, the total receipts of the Order have amounted to $2,110,951 66, and the total amount ex pended for the relief of members, in the same year, has reached $951,556 21. Within the same year, 40,080 new members have been received, and relief has been ex tended by the various lodges in 21,344 cases of sick members, and to 3,911 widowed fami lies. The Order of Odd Fellows is a purely beneficial organization, of the nature of a health -insurance society, its members making monthly payments, which entitle them to a specified relief when sick,and to decent burial when dead. Relief is also extended to the orphans and widows of members, in cases of necessity. The origin of Odd Fellowship, stripping it of those fabulous fancies which carry it back to the days of Nero and Titus, is to be found in the latter part of the eighteenth cen tury, when convivial associations of laborers and mechanics were formed in London, call - ing themselves “Ancient and Honorable Loyal Odd Fellows.” They met at taverns, and -enjoyed tbemselveß with mild carouses. A custom grew up for each member to con tribute a penny a week toward s fund for the relief of their poorest members, to defray funeral expenses and to provide for widows and orphans. These societies or lodges extended to Liver pool and at last united in a general system ■with the title of “Union Order of Odd Fel lows.” la 1809, efforts were made to abolish its convivial character and to effect other re forms, but these innovations were resisted by the convivial majority, and, in 1818, several of the lodges seceded from their boon com panies and formed the “Independent Order of Odd Fellows,” which had “grown, in 1863, to a membership, in Great Britain, of over .500,000 members. What its present numbers are in Great Britain we do not know; but when we add the American mem bership to that of the mother country, we have the grand total of more than three quarters of a million men, thus banded to gether for purposes of mutual comfort and support,as the result of a few homely gather ings of humble laborers in London ale-houses, Beventy five years ago. Philadelphia extends cordial welcome to this honorable and useful body of American citizens. Such organizations as that which holds its high festival to-day deserve the public recognition which our holiday crowds and floating flags and aU tokenß of hearty greeting pay to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Order provides for its own household, without interfering with the rights of other men. It affords to its members the pleasant relations of good fellowship and true sym pathy, and its influence upon society is only beneficent. With its elements of mysticism we have nothing to do. They undoubtedly nerve good practical purposes; but the Order is to be judged by its substantial fruits, and by them alone. They are full of good-will, and substantial beneflt,and the mysteries may - who dislike mystery, for the cake of the multitude of good works ■which they surround, but cannot hide. The cable informs ua that a rumor prevails in England to the effect that the British Q dv - eminent will recognizo the Cuban rebels as belligerent*, fthd permit them to procure ma- texial of war in British porta. The object of this movement is said to be to maintain an appearance of consistency by following the policy of the Russell Cabinet in. recognizing the Southern Confederacy; and,by anticipating Such friendly action on the part of the United States, to induce the Cubans to abandon the idea of annexation. The theory is ingenious, but, nevertheless, we question the truth of the Story. England would gain nothing by such apparent consistency, for the two cases are very different, and recognition of the Cuban rebels would not convince ub of the righteousness of the policy which sent the Alabama and other pirateß to prey upon our commerce. Nor would it harden the heart 9 of the Cubans against the United States, if we have not recognized them, wo have at least given them hearty sympathy, and, what is more to the purpose, material assistance; and we are sending them men and money every day. Apart from this, manifest destiny points to the annexation of Cuba as inevi table, sooner or later. Certainly Great Britain cannot offer such inducements to the Cubans as we can. It is likely they would prefer simple independence to connection with any European power, no matter how liberal and lenient in its rule it might be. Opera Bouffe came to grief last week in Philadelphia. The season was a loss to the manager. At New York, Opera Bouffe scarcely half fills the little theatre on Fifth avenue,to which it has lately been transferred by Mr. James Fisk. It is now evident that a healthy re-action has set in, after a rather long “spell” of a vulgar madness. The French opera repertoire, of the gay as well as the serious kind, contains many fine works that are sot immoral or indecent, and a manager who would undertake to present these to the American public in good style, would be sure to make money. But let the smutty opera be banished forever from all decent American theatres. Great Sale ol 'llonsckecplns; Linen Clootie.—The Bale of the stock of Fine Linen Honse -1 eeping Good, at Messrs.

TbeJ/onlreai (Firnscx has eomo to band, with vivid sketches of someol the scenes which were briefly noted by tbo telegraph. The Montreal police and the WUntet't reporter embarked In a boat loaded with bread for a pull through the streets of Grlffintown, which were covered by water to the depth of two, four, and in come places six feet. As the re lict party pasted along the streets, the chamber windows of the houses were filled with women and children clamoring for bread. Men etoed npon chairs In the doorways preferring the same request, and boya were sent from a dis tance on rafta with a similar pressing petition. Mothers, with infants in their arms and sar ronnded with their Uttic ones, were calling from almost every window, telling how many children they bad got, and how long It wassicce they had anything to eat. Parsing through Colborn«, Ot tawa, and Murray streets, the relief party found many cases ol real suffering. Those were mostly dcrlitute who lived in lanes and back yards. Id to these out-of-the-way places the relief partv paddled tbelr boat laden with bread, and the joy with which they were welcomed by the imprisoned inhabitants well repaid them for the discomfort they experienced from the cold, heavy rain which fill confinfibuelyr TnTbtrtofr of u etabie-they found a family of five persons who had been with out food for twenty-four hours. They were all lying on the floor covered with bcd-elothes, and in (his position they had remained night and day since the rising of the water. In another place one poor fellow wad.d up to the skiff in water np to bis middle, and look two loaves of bread for his family, who he said bad not eaten since yesterday morning. These he carried up a ladder v to his garret, where his wife and children re ceived the bread from his hands through a win dow. Who Hilled Yancey* A-correspondent in Harrisonburg, Ya., writes: A few days ego I overheard a conversation In relation to the death of Wm. L. Yancev.of South Carolina, which goes to prove an assertion that I have' previously heard, namely, that he was killed by Hill, of Georgia. One of the speakers said that be was Intimately acquainted with a man by the name of Sbankes, a stenographer who reported the proceedings of the Rebel Congress. On one occasion Shanks tame to his house in a state of Intoxica tion. and said that be had the notes of the pro ceedings of the Rebel Congress,and meant shortly to publish them In a book, when some startling developments wonld be made. Oa being asked about the death of Yancey, he declined to answer on the ground that it would Injure the sale of his book, “but,” he said, “when the proceedings of the secret session ore 1 published, von will know all about It. and I will now say that ho did not die a natural death." The re porter died a few weeks later of delerium tremens , and the book was novor published. Another gentleman now said that be knew that Yancey was killed by Hill, having been acquainted with a member of the Congress, who was present, and who told him In confidence all about it. The af fair occurred during the exciting session held in reference to the proposition made by Mr. Lincoln to the Peace Commissioners in Hampton Roads.

EveuinK Bulletin.] Washington, April 26. —Rumors aro again rife to-day of Cabinet changes. It is now said by those who profess to have correct informa tion on the b uhjcct, tbnt not only Secretary Fish will soon retire to private life, but that Secretary Boric and Attorney-General Hoar havo informed President Grant that tbey wonld like at an early duv to withdraw from tbe Cabinet. From ibo present aspect of affairs it seems safe to assert tbnt probably within 30- days there will be a change in three Cabinet officers. Attorney- Generul Hoar intimated that aB soon as tbe rash end pressure for offices incident npon the be ginning of a new administration was over, ho would return to civil life to practice his profes sion. Secretary Borie finds the office duties ill suited to bis temperament, and having rendered President Grant all tbe support iu his power to commence his career os President with proper counsels, he will now retire in favor of some other gentleman. With these three Im portant cbaDgea there may be an entire chaoge In our foreign policy. Whom President Grant will call to tbe Btato Department, is, of coarse, unknown; but there is good reason to believe that it will be a perseu of more decided convic tions than those possessed by and which have controlled Secretary Fish. Farther develop ments en this subject arc expected soon. Callers at tbe Waite House {Special Dispatch to the Pbila. Bvenlnx Bulletin.)

The enor n one rates demanded for money heretofore had paralyzed most branches of trade by placing capital practically be yond the reach of legitimate trade.

We quote call loans at 6 per cent, on. Government bonds.and at 7 per cent on mUed.sacurities though in many exceptional eases on Saturday last, holders of balances were glad to locate largo amounts at 3 r>cr cent.

' , Tbe gold market was excited during the week in con seqn« nee of tbe agitalton concerning tbe Alabama claims question and that of Cuban recognition, and tbe price advanced to 184)4; but at this period tne announcement was made that the Government would sell gold, and there was a decline to 132 L before the close of tbe week, aided by tbe more pacific character tf our foreign rela tions. The scarcity of cash gold enabled holders to exact high borrowing rates, and as much as one sixteenth was frequently paid for its use from day to day, while tbe considerations for carrying gold were exceptional '1 he easier condition of the money market Induced a renewal of speculation to government bonds, and the ’CB’s touched I*l%.

In tbe middle of the week, with tbe decline in gold, an effort was made to stiffen exchange, and the prime bankers put up tbeir rates, which were alre idy firm t. in consequence of an expected demand arising oit of the arrival of tbe foreign May coupons.
