"That organization is composed of thirty-four delegates," said a in-oinincnt Knight this evening, "and only eight of the delegates are from our assemblies.

Pittsbi ni.ii. April morning Colonel Norman M. Smith, officially connected with the Pennsylvania railroad transfer in this city, said: "For three years the railroads iu the Pennsylvania company's system, principally on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Ijnuis division, have been systematically robbed. Carson sidings and on moving trains have been broken open and merchandise of every description stolen.

It is estimated "that the company has had to pay for at least f.li,uw wortli of goods stolen while iu transit. Detectives have been working on tho case for months. Kverything lieiug ready we decided to make a move all alongthe line between ('olumbusand Pittsburgh, und rj midnight was iixed to strike Ihe blow. F.ighty warrants have been issued for men in Pittsburgh. I can't tell how many for other places, but it was for nearly every point along the line.

It is the most extensive raid of the kind iu railroad circles that has ever occurred." Tho above was given in explanation of the concerted raid upon the boarding places and homes of l'an-hundle railway employes, conductors and briikemeu, by a squad composed of our hundred city policemen, detectives and ward constables shortly after midnight. Karly trains from the West Were held iu the yard by a display of a red signal the block at Fourth avenue. The officers boarded the trains, knowing the men that were wanted, promptly secured them and marched them to the jap1, and no train arrived that did not loso ouo or more men from its crew. Search-warrants were mndo out this morning for several houses suspected as "fences" in receiving and disposing of the stolen property. It is currently believed that much of the stolen goods will be recovered.

Fifty-six arrests so far have been made. Twenty of the railroaders, emphatically denying all knowledge of crooked work, were arrested at Brown's hotel. An examination of their rooms, however, disclosed large quantity of valuable merchandise, that bad been taken from the railroad. There are still about 'J0II unserved warrants out, ami altogether over 400 informations have been lodged. It said that the robbers stole every thing, even to scwing-iiiachins and Bibles, and thought it no sin lo rob a railroad company.

According to the provisions of the Succession hill passed recently bv the Dutch Chamber of Deputies, nothing but the life of a girl less than seven years of age stands between Holland and inclusion in the federative state which liisimirck has created. In the ontingeticy contemplated the Batavian low lands ould revert, after an independent existence of ubout three centuries, to relations analogous to those which they formerly sustained to thu holy Human Knipire. In security and real dignity Holland would lose nothing by the change, for since the French revolution she has been indebted for iintoiuimv less to her inherent power than to the jealousies of her great neighbors. Thenceforth she would be rtiatantccd against foreign encroach ments the (iernimi of the Ilatt-Deiilsch district is a brother, not a for- iguer while she would retain at the saiiie tunc the large measure of local self-government enjoyed by Havana and Saxony. What llismaivk would gain by the transaction is obvious Hough, since the acquisition ot Hol land's maritime resources and East Indian dependencies would at once trans form the (iei'iuaii Empire into a great naval and colonial power, besides open ing the prospect of large ultimate, ions through the Dutch-speaking leopte in Miiilli Allien.

11 Gerniauv is ver lo dispute with England the ter of the seas, the absorption of lh Low Countries is an iiidispensalile'pre requisite. So far as the Grand Duchy of Lux- mliiii'g is concerned which, it will be rcmemlici-cd, has not a legislative, liul only dynastic connection with Hol land arrangements were made several years ago for its transfer, on the ith of King William lo Duke Adolphus, of Nassau, who was after Sadowa dispossessed of his inherited dominions. The samp Prince, us tlm representative of the elder line of Nas sau, had tint forward a chum also lo succession iu the Low Countries, win would have been acknowledged vali had the Salic rule prevailed. Hut. of course mere was no liar in lloiiauil lo inheritance through females, since it was through a daughter of Charles the Hold that the Dutch provinces somi lour centimes ago passed to the house of Austria.

Every one of the possibl heirs designated in the piesontJSucoc'? ion bill is either a female or derive title from a female. Thus, iu case of the death of the young Princess Wil- lielmina, the first in order of suece? sion will be the King's sister Soiihii married to the (I rand Duke of Saxe- Weiiiiai-Eisenaeh. It is noteworthy. owever, that according to the bill lb Grand Duchess can not transmit to her reii her rights over Holland, which oft me ants of Ihe Dutch Princess Marianne, laughter of King William and mar rieii more I tin nail a century ago io Prince of Prussia. As the latter son, Ihe present Prince Albert of Prussia has three boys, il will be.

seen that tin Low Countries are unlikely to escape the house of lloheiizolleni. here no reason to that the precau tious taken bv the Succession bill nirainst the failure of Prussian heirs will be called ill play, nnd we need not therefore, refer to them in detail. The hopes founded on the.se provis ions ma no iiount, ne (tastieu me child Princess Willkrlmina should grow til) and marry a meinberof sumo family oppo-eil in interest to the liolienzo lerus. But measures will probably be taken lo bring about a union with one of her Prussian kinsmen, three of whom are nearly of her own age.

A'. Y. tin is TREACHEROUS INK. A Warning- Against r.injr Aniline Ink. for Contracts nr lleenrds.

I was chatting the other day with the yice-presidetit of one of the trunk lines of railway when a messenger entered with an important contract, having twenty-one years lo run. It was a traflic agreement with a competing line, and was a very valuable document- It happened to be written with a type-writer in aniline ink. Upon seeing this he positively refused to sign the paper! "He then took the contract, to the president of the road ami said: Mr. if you want to sign this contract you can do it, but I never will." When asked why, he replied: "It is written iu aniline ink, which fades, and long before the expiration of this contract this document ill be entirely faded and practically worthless." The result was the return of the contract, with a request that hereafter all important documents, the preservation of hich is desirable, should be writ leu in ink that would not fade. During General Grant's term as President one of his Cabinet ollicers discovered that the records of an im portant branch of one of the departments had been for two years written iu purple ink.

It is one of the problems of chemistry to liml something which will make permanent the beautiful aniline colors, but thus far all efforts have failed.

Gamier was a ritie of much delicacy and justness 0f feeling, hut he had no new ideas to bring into the realm of art or thought. No man had less claim to be regarded is a philosopher or a sage. His views of life were often intended to be amus ing, and when not so intended they usually furnish amusement for their nuircti: and their simplicity. They please us by the ignorance of life which icy display.

Guiltier looked at life with the glance of a child, who liuds in it much that Ls pretty and is wholly unconcerned as to whether there is uiglil to existence but picking flowers ind chasing butterllies. lint Ihe style made every page that he wrote full of larm. He said of himself thai his was a style ol aiheetives. lie tliollglil that the complications of modern life demanded a supple and complex mode of expression, that should seek words in all directions, colors from all palettes. irinoiiies from all lvres: his should be like Hie light of the settin sun, that reflects through burning oiids its varied hues.
