THE CHRONIC BORE.
BY ". l.. HAwLEY.


OF all the Gerye destroying things
That creep the earth or fly on wings,
The worst of all the wide world DER
Is man when he's chronic bore.
He never knocks upon the door,
Comes unbdden, the chronic bore.
He has no time, he says to stay,
But sits right down and stays all day.
All gentle hints are lost on him,
No heed at all he pays to them,
But fingers in my favOrite chair
Til begin to softly swear.
Ny fingers itch to tear bis hair,
Aud l could throw HIM down the stair
But still the bore will stay right there.
To NE perhaps my time is gold.
The moments fly, the day grows old
My work undone pace the floor,
No escape from the chronic bore.
As fit the moments of the day,
So fly my hopes OF Heaven away;
Or can it be u sin to sweari
No bore was ever moved by prayer.
Recording angels, if they see
The fate the bore inficts OH me,
Will help me, if they chance to hear
And blot the cuss words with a tear.
Is there fate somewhere in store
Hard enough for the chronic bOrei
fear sometimes there cannot be
A fitting place for such he,
Will ghos'ly forms, all robcd in fame,
Clasp his hand when they cal his name
And sitting down on every side
With him eterually abide
No other fate would fitting he
For such curse or earth as he.

THE LATE DIR. NICHOLS.
His Ldfe.Work for the Insane and His
Services In Washingtoh.

DR.. O. b. Nichols, the superintendent Of
Bloominsaale asylum, who died yesterday, -
stated in TIE SrAR, came Of Quaker family.
He was born in vassalboro', Me-, in 1920, and re-
oeived classical education at the Friends'
school in Providence, R. L He graduated from
the college Of physicians and surgeons in 1S43.
He began his work with the insane under DIR.
Amariah Brigham in the state asylum as Utica,
NY, where he was chosen medical assistant in
ls47. In1S4S he was appointed superintendent
At Bloomingdale. He remained there until
1852, when he resigned, having been selected
by President Fillmore to superintend the con-
struction and take charge Of the government
hospital for the insane in this District With
the money appropriated-S120,00 0-he pur-
chased q site Of 200 acres at st. Elizabeth The
appropriation was not large enough to erect
the building, but DR.. Nichols eked out the de-
fciency and made bricks out of the soil re-
moved for the foundation of the building. Fin
ally he had the satisfaction OF completing the
structure without asking for additional money
from the United States Treasury. A lodge for
the colored insane-said to be the first distinct
provision of the kind ever made for that race
was attached to the institution. He was at the
head Of the institution twenty-five years, and,
by means Of additional appropriations, erected
many additional buildings, doubled the lands,
EXTENDED the accommodations and kept the
treatment up with the latest methods. He
served as trustee Of Columbian university, pres
ident Of the police board, &c. He was at the
battle Of Bull Run and was nearly captured
while attending to the wounded. He was on
Gen. McDowells staff.
DIR. Nichols was married in 1860 to Miss Ellen
Maury, daughter of John Maury, who was at
one time mayor Of Washington. Mrs. Nichols
died few years afterward, leaving one son,
Lieut. Maury Nichols, who is attached to the
engineers corps at Willet's Point, LII In 1879
DR.. Nichols married Miss Sarah Lathrop, the
daughter Of q college professor at Pittsfeld,
Mass.
DR.. Nichols returned to the Bloomingdale
asylum in 1877, when the Office Of superin-
tendent was created for him. He succeeded
the unfortunate DR.. David Tilden Brown, who
hanged himself recently in Illinois. DIR. Mich
OILS was a contributor to the American Journal
Of Insanity and other periodicals.. For many
years he was the president of the association Of
American superintendent of institutions for
the insane and an honorary member of the
medico-psychological association of Great
Britain. He received the honorary degree Of
MA. from Union college and LII. b. from Col
umbian university. He vas q member Of the
New York medical society and the academy Of

Wall Street Today.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-Extreme dullness again
marked the dealings in the stock market this
morning. Only five stocks-St. Paul, Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Oregon short lines
and sugar misunderstanding any animation
whatever, although first prices were generally
slightly lower than last evenings closing fig
ures and Jersey Central was of Il per cent.
The tone Of the early dealings was firm and
these opening declines were recovered with
something in addition. Missouri Pacific rising
Il per cent and Oregon Short Line, which
opened up at y per cent at ssh, rose to 60.
Sugar was again weak and declined from SO to
81, selling e1-dividend of rs per cent, with
cash sales at 61a60 This decline seemed to
have some influence upon the stocks of the
regular list, and though there was a rally in
sugar, the list afterward slowly sagged off and
prices again were brought down to below the
level of opening figures. At ii o'clock the
market was more animated and heavy at the
lowest prices

seaious In exposing the frauds Of Chinese who
try TO get admittansc as merchants and prior

English Opinions of Upper.

From the London Times.
As poet MIR. Upper enjoyed more favor
with the general public than with the critics.
His peculiar verse has been frequent theme
for the satirists, and yet the attacks upon him
only seemed to confirm his hold over the
masses. He lacked genius and inspiration, but
there was kind Of oracular air about his ut
terances which greatly impressed those who
did not examine beneath the surface. As
moral essayist he deserved praise, and occa-
sionally he reached poetic strain when ami
mated by the fsrvor Of patriotism. That he
enjoyed strange and unique position in liter
ature is beyond question. This is q tribute to
the British heart rather than to it's intellect
Personally Mr.. Upper was a genial warm
hearted man, close friend and good hater Of
cant and superstition, a. well rs Of the enemies
of England
