What is the difference between a Brigade General and a Major General?
There is no such rank as Brigade General. You're probably thinking of Brigadier General. Brigadier General is a one star rank, whereas Major General is a two star rank. Usually, a Brigade will be commanded by a Colonel, although it's not unheard of for a Brigadier General to be in command of a brigade. However, more often than not, they'll serve as a deputy to the Division Commander (who would usually be a Major General).

If a major in the army is a higher rank that a lt then why is a lt gen higher in rank than a major gen?
The ranks probably originated in the 18th Century as armies became larger. My guess is that the rank of major general was created first to outrank the general of a brigade, or brigadier general as it was later known, and lt. general was created to denote a general who next in line to become as a general as a lt. governor is next in line to be a governor, but I do not know for sure. Today, a major general usually commands a division, and a lt. general usually commands a corps, but a major in the army is still higher than a lt.
