ONE reason why the Knights OF Labor AS
semOly causes SO little popular interest in
indianapolis elsewhere, is because the
Knights of Labor organization has not
been conducted recently in q manner to
command general respect. The order has
been dragged into politics; its leaders have az
tempted to make political machine of it; its
influence has been sold to the Democracy
whenever traders and tricksters could do it;
and there has developed widespread feeling
that self seeking schemers have controlled it,
and that it he's ceased to be representative

Mai ThaXter, of Portland, Ne, is one Of
the few veterans who know that Virginia
was the only Confederate state that sent
twelve cavalry regiments into the war. He
got his information this way: lie went out
with his regiment from Warrenton, Va, on
a raid. When he returned at night he rode
10 the place whence he had set out and came
upon a cavalry camp asleep
"lVhat regiment is this" he shouted.
"The Twelfth was the answer.
"The Twelfth whatf' he asked.
Twelfth Virginia, you - foolr' was the
answer from one who was surprised that any
one shouldn't know that there was but one
Twelfth cavalry regiment in the service.
Mai Thaxter didn't wait for further in
formation, but got away. He afterward
learned that the Union troops had fallen
back and the Confederates taken their place.

Tobacco Market.

RICHMOND, January !.
The week closes with a steady but not
buOyant market. There has been activity
in low grades, speculatively and for
manufacture. Especially have sellers and
brokers been successful in placing some
good lots 10 manufacturers on outside
markets i'm this State, west n North.
Prices here, rs compared with any IN the
world, for all grades except Buriey, are
surely an inducement to every class OF
buyers. Some cutters have been cOnspicu-
ously active in the past few weeks, with
large sales and a largely reduced stock OF
the finest grades. Scrap and other low
grades. heretofore almost unsaleable, are
changing hands more freely lately, and
there is a general feeling that there are
better prices surely in store sOr Virginia
and North Carolina leaf. Loose sales
in this, and all the markets heretofore
very heavy. have been light in all
markets this week, but will no
doubt be larger the coming week, as
prices have been satisfactory TO planters.
The crop. however, has been marketed
remarkably fast, owing TO "a very favor
able open winter and consequent good
roads. and full prices. \ good many
Burley scrap and a few hogsheads Of leaf
have changed hands lately at prices that
would astonish holders Of good leaf Of
Virginia grades, that the uninitiated
would deem by far the best, but the
market value of which would show a far
less price. Burley scraps sell at & to ;
cents, while this is the selling price of
good Virginia leaf. We note the Western
manufacturers are using largely all kinds
of substitutes for Burleys even some
export dark grades have been taken for
plug goods for home consumption.
Now is the time for Virginia plug and
smoking men to profit by such a differ
encc in price. There cannOt be anything
like the difference in quality as indicated
by prices. Several times attempts have
been made to sell tobacco here over the
hogshead as done uniformly in the West.
This week Messrs. Vaughan Il Saryey
at Crenshaw's warehouse succeeded well
in sale of a break of about 20 h~Ogsheads
and will in consequence repeat the exper-
linen, which so many of the trade seem
to favor and very few object to. II would
seem thus, that the popular estimate Is
that the crop Of loose tobacco is about
half marketed.

Ailments of Nervous Subjects.

Some affect 70 believe that nervous sub
jects feign their ailments for the purpose Of
attracting attention and sympathy. 1t is
quite true they frequently %exaggerate their
suferings, but that is no excuse for denying
their existence. Besides, it is natural 10 ex-
aggerate a grievance 50 long as it remains
unrecognized. Others admit the reality Of
the diseased sensations, but maintain that
the only way TO abolish them is by means Of
reason. They hold that nervous persons
ought TO be taught to control their nerves by
their reason, and they insist that plain
speaking" is the strongest aid TO recovery.
Their experience seems TO corroborate this
opinion. The sufferers cease to complain TO
them, so they fancy that their plain speak
ingn has effected a cure. This fancy is, how
ever, very far from the fact, which is that
the patients have transferred their com
plants TO a more sympathetic ear.-Nine-
