that Bill Nye. the sparkling humorist,
whose brilliant thoughts so often
adorn the pages of the Herald, now
lies at his home, in Hudson, Wiscon-
sin, suffering the tortures Of the damn

when the cyclone swept shrieking
over a portion of Wisconsin, he was
out with his brother, Frank Nye, in a
light spring wagon, about three miles
from Clear Lake. The cyclone caught

the ground, and as result Bills left

His brother left.the7injured humorist

len timber for help, and poor Bill laid
there and suffered for two hours be-

and bear him away. As is well known

Hons. R. L. Taylor and s. W. Hawkins.

Democratic and Republican Elec-
tors respectively, for the State at large,
made speeches at the Court House
last Monday. The time being so soon
after the Fair, and the people being
mostly engaged in harvesting the pea
crop the attendance was not large, but
enough were present to comfortably
fill the building.
Col. Taylor spoke first, and for an
hour and quarter held the rapt at
tention of his hearers, only interrupt
ed now and then by vociferous cheer
ing and hearty laughter Col Taylor
discussed the policy OF the Republican
party since it came into power, and
held up in review its many sins Of
commission, its abuse of public plum
ders and iW4ailure to make good its
oft repeated promises to an outraged
people. Occasionally he relieved the
tedium OF the dull recital of facts and
figures by an anecdote, always aptly
applied and well told and that every
time brought down the house. No
people were ever so won by stranger
as those present by Bob Taylor last
Monday, who universally pronounce
his effort the best made at Waverly
since the canvass opened.
Capt. Hawkins followed in talk of
some length, logical and well spoken.
Unquestionably Capt. Hawkins is the
peer of any member OF his party, il
not the brainiest in the State, he is
the best talker. Like Col. Taylor, his
remarks were confined to discussion
of politics and questions Of difference
between the Republican and Demo,
cratic parties. He nor Col. Taylor in
dulged in no remarks about the pri-
vate characters and misdeeds of Messrs
Cleveland and Blaine, deeming mat
ters OF public policy OF more interest
to the country than the peccadilos o.
party leaders.
We do no injustice to Capt. Haw
kins IN saying that Col. Taylor is his
superior debator and gets away with
him every time, and would with any
speaker that seeks to make fair anC
white the record OF the Republican
party-it can't be done.

TRENTON, Oct 11.-Taylor and

Hawkins opened the debate, and con-
sumed nearly the whole ninety min
utes discussing the tariff. 1t was by
far the ablest Republican speech that
has been made here during the can
vass.
Taylor's reply was overwhelming,
it called forth loud and prolonged
cheers OF enthusiasm, and as approx
al the negroes and white Republicans
were forced by his eloquence and pow
er to occasionally join in the cheering.

the speaking: "You have the man

Anecdote ofLongfelIow.

Rev, John B. Kenyon gives in the
Syracuse Christian Advocate an ac-
count of q visit to Mr.. Longfellow in
Cambridge in 1881, and among other
anecdotes touching the great poet re-
lates the following:
One day knock was heard at the
door, which Mr., Longfellow answered
in person. The poet at once recog-
nized his visitor, both by his accent
and dress, as western rustic. AS
his custom was, Mr.. Longfellow
invited the man to step in. Once
fairly in the house the fellow
gazed curiously around, aud at last
said;
"Is this the house that George Wash
ington once occupiedp
Mr.. Longfellow answered:
Otis"
"Well, by the way" said the rustic
might l ask who the party is that oc.
cupies it at PRESENT."
Certainly" replied the poet; "my
name is Longfellow,"
"Longfeller, Longfeller," drawled
"the sinew of the west" "You
don't mean Henry w. Longfel

."That is my name," answered tn,
poet.
