 Bill Nye, in Denver Opinion.
 Pending brief interim between this date and the opening of the lecture sea- son, have been quite hosy preparing my press notices and opinin6s of my lecture in advance. The labor and an- noyance of preparing opinions and press notices on lecture that has never been delivered are very great, and 1 am very glad that it is cver. l have taken the liberty of sending these glowing indorse- ments hrst to OtisicN, tntending to cut them out aAervard and furnish. them to ny advance agent, b be used hereafter in advertisisg the lectnpe.
 The Sssaay AovniGH SM1vk<llsek says: .Itwas VI vesf of tAe great sst of slI 1iving si1sle- -han1ed, champion collar-andrelbow 0oa616&uists who ap- peared last eesning h his wonderful scientific oiio and 6asoo voluntary, de- livered mainly in the United States language. It was . perfect maelstrom ol mirth, a cyclone of large and expensive words, snatched from science and woven into one beautiful 6bsic. We were not present at the lecture, but we gain the above information from the lecturer him. self, who has kindly volunteered to write the above encomium."
 The Sensi- Weekiv DeakAyattle says !" This great intellectual What Is It de- livered his prize reverie here last evening and will repeat it at Spoon Lake to- morrow evening if our hotel will let 20 of the lecturers spike-tail coat now held for food destroyed by the latter last night and this morning. We were present at the lecture and suffered along with another of our leading citizens, whose name is kindly withheld on account of his family"
 The Small fox af Hoyk says: Noth- ing in the lecture last evening was more gratifying than the twenty minutes given the audience in which to weep. Every one present, including the lecturer, went out between the acts to shed a tear. and no one, the lecturer included, came back. This alone was well worth the price of admission. We hope that he will again come this way, and after telling us what disposition to make of his remains, re- peat his lecture of last night"

 q Last evening Bill Nye delivered his celebrated lecture here to a man vhose name we could not learn. He was. no doubt, a stranger, but, on coming forward. NIT. Nye offered to refund the man his money and spend the evening at poker. This morning MT. Nye goes on to Boston $,.7oI ahead, and his audience will walk back to Skowhegan, where it is said he resides. Mir. Nye regards this as the greatest effort of his life. He can not cniy couvulse an audience with laughter. but he can sock it into shoreless sea of gloom at the same psice.r-zxs .Sssday CkSishas.
 "It is the most entertaining lecture 1 ever vas to.'-O. Wilde.
 The lecture Last evening was most enjoyable. Mir. Nye is one of the most entertaining lectuross now at larre. Not- withstanding the fact that standing-room could not bo obtained at 7:4s last evening, the throag still preesed forward. Two people were iatally injured.

 Bill Nye's celebrated lecture was de hvered at the opera-house last evening to we'll dressed audience. If 1t had con- tinued an hour longer the audience would have remained cheerfully.
