Millions now in Heaven are singing
Greet his joyful entrance there. S.

Gov. NiohOlI, Of Louisiana.

The unhappy political and commercial
condition Of Louisiana renders interesting
everything concerning the brave men who
are endeayoriBg to steer her through the
hideous surf,breakers jp which she Is floun-
dering. In such connection the Upper MARI
boro Prince Georgian furnishes some partic-
ulars Of Francis T. Nichols, who has been
inaugurated as the Democratic Governor Of
Louisiana, and is brayely endeavoring to
fill his high Office in spite of Packard and
federal bayonets. Gov Nichols father,
Thomas Nichols, was born and raised in
Upper Marlboro, Prince Georges county,
Md, and was a nephew of Col Crawford
and Mrs Sarah Forrest, prominent and
wealthy citizens Of that county some thirty
five years ago. Thomas Nichols migrated
to Louisiana, taking with him three chill
dren, Patsey, David and Thomas. Patsey
Nichols became Mrs Morse, andsher son,
the late Isaac Il. Moorse, represented New
Orleans district In Congress several terms,
and was subsequently sent by President
Buchanan as United States minister to
Venezuela. David Nichols was a midship-
man, and was aid to Com Perry at tho
battle Of Lake Erie. He was with the
commodore when transferred from the flag
ship in small boat to the Niagara under
fire Of the British line-oFbattle ships; and
Thomas Nichols is father of the present
Governor of Louisiana. The "0ld Mary
land Linz" preserves its true and pure
blood, even in the perilous and turbid po-
litical atmosphere of downtrodden Louisi-
ana, and Gov Nichols shows himself q
worthy son Of Maryland ancestry. During
the late civil war Gov. Nichols command
ed a regiment in Gen, Dick Taylor's bri-
gate, and lost an arm in battle. So soon
as able to report for duty he was promoted
to the rank Of brigadier general, and lost
n leg When convalescent he rendered
his services in the field, but the authori-
ties declined to subject him to further
exposure, and assigned him to duty in
command Of the military post at Lynch
burg, Va, then one Of the most important
strategic positions in that region, because
Of the immense commissary resources that
were there centered for use of the Confed-
crate army.

Vicissitudes Of Fortune.

A remarkable story of accommodating
disaster is told in the New York papers
of Monday, which record the death, ut
the asylum for the insane AZ Poughkeep-
sic, of James II. Elmore, at one time
wealthy merchant and well.known and
successful operator in oil. He was en-
gagged in business in New York, but at the
outbreak Of the oil excitement became
interested in the celebrated Noble well,
which brought him an easy fortune, and
he retired about ten years ago, with n
quarter of million dollars, and established
himself in a luxurious country-seat on
Long Island. Disastrous speculations, in-
Guiding the building of horse railroad on
Long Island, led to long series of law
suits, in which Elmores property was
gradually eaten up. He himself was
stricken with paralysis; his daughter died,
and on the announcement of an adverse
decision in an important suit, his wife
dropped dead upon the floor before him.
The property had belonged to her, and as
she left no will, Elmore's life interest in
the estate was sold, with all personal
chattels, to satisfy judgments, and he and
his two sons were cast out upon the world
homeless and penniless. He travelled
from place to place, cripple, subsisting
on the benevolence of sympathetic friends,
until, on Christmas night year ago, his
eldest sou was killed upon the Pennsyva.
MIA railroad. The lettering intellect Of
the infrm old man gave way under this
blow, and he was taken to the asylum
where he died His death affects a suit
now pending, and saves to his remaining
child, minor son, portion of the prop
erty on Long Island but this is oil that
now remains of the handsome fortune with
which james Gilmore retired ten years ago
