The Humorous Anthor aho ~re'e'
Henry W. Shaw, "Josh Billings"
was born in Lanesboro', berkshire
county, Mass, in the year 1920. From
the time of his birth until 1884, his life
was spent at his native place. In the
year last named, when he was only
fourteen years of age, he joined a party
animated with the resolve to cross the
plains to the Pacific ocean and coionize
under the Mexican Government. The
project failed, and Shaw thereupon pur-
sued the ayocation of frontiersman,
turning his hand to everything present.

reached California in lS49, but did
not remain there long. Returning
East at the age Of twenty-seven, he
married. Accompanied by his young
New England wife, he soon after started
for the West, where he was again not
successful. Finding himself, at the age
of forty, with three young and growing
daughters, with no facilities for their
education, he went East and settled at
Poughkeepsie, on the Hudson, where
he took up the business Of an auctioneer
and dealer in real estate. Poughkeepsie
had small daily newspaper, and its
editor, upon hearing the words of wit
and wisdom that fell from Mr.. Shaw's
lips while engaged in his calling, in

MARION. VA, October l6.-The

Marion never had bigger time than
TO-DAY At her reception Of Lee. There
were between six aud seven hundred
horsemeH in the procession, with gallant
lee and Daniel at their head. The
cayslcade was preceded by full brass
band. The procession moved the
length Of Main street, then counter.
marched and proceeded to the beautiful
grounds prepared for the occasion: Inc
crowd assembled was immense. There
were fully three thousand persons
that estimate was made by a Repuoii-
can.
General Lee led Off in talk OF one
and q half hours. His speech was
delivered in a clear and forcible style.
He did not indulge in the abusive strain
in use by his opponents. lie made a
fine impression, and won more votes
to-day than any one ever did here be-
fore by speech. After dinner Major
Daniel spoke for over two hours IN his
usual brilliant style. His hearers APP
pesred to be fascinated. They stood
patiently, as If they were afraid to lose
a single word Of his burning eloquence
and fiery denunciatioh OF Mahoneism.
We are chuck-full Of Democracy,
and we intend TO carry the county
through by big majority. Major
Daniel said this was the grandest
demonstration be had seen in this can
yass, and when we think that few
years ago we were run over rough
shod by Malone, it is enough to make
rs shout. "a

A letter from Rappahannock gives a
good account OF the canvass in that

cratic meeting. it says; MIR. Dunlop's
speech was chaste, magnificent, and re-
plete with oratory and effect. 1t was
by large number thought to be one
Of the finest efforts ever made in our
county. At the conclusion Of Mr..
Dnnlop's speech, Mr.. William Alex
ander, Of Winchester, was introduced
amid the applause and shouts Of the
crowd. Mr.. Alexander is q great Ca
,orite with our people. His style Of
speaking is somewhat different from
that Of MIR. Dunlop, yet his speech was
none the less effective. He is one Of
the best stumpers and hardest hitters
engaged in our canvass. The crowd
vas held together for four hours, and
both speakers were frequently inter

fCorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch. 7
OCTOBER Is, 1859
The little side-show of the Republ-
cans ut Hamilton yesterday, while a
big thing on paper, was in reality very
small affair. Mr.. Minor Chambiin,
candidate for the Legislature, having
failed 30 often to get an audience in the
county. either with or without authority.
had little Johnny Wise announced to
speak at the little village on that day.
Wise was extensively advertised by
posters and otherwise. There was
heavy and much-needed rain tn, day
and night preceding. This Of course
made it too wet 10 seed. and as Wise's
speeches are said nv many to be equal
TO q circus, the farmers turned out, and
q very respectable audience greeted
Mr.. Ryan's would-be successor. Of
course Wise was not there. A tele-
gram was received, | understand, from
Malone, saying Wise would be there
across the country from Boyce, a
station on the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road, but after waiting some time Mr..
Chsmbln took the stand and "electri-
fed" his audience by his fervid elo-
quence in behalf of the lost cause (of
Billy. 1t is enough to make one weep
from sheer sympathy TO see the straits
the poor fellows in this county are re-
duced 10. They haven't peg left to
hang hope upon, and yet they bluster
and brsg with vim and energy worthy
Of better cause.
After Mr.. Chamblin came Mr.. Charles
r. McCabe. Of Leesburg, ex-member
Of the Legislature. Captain McCabc is
IN entertaining speaker, and if the
crowd is in sympathy with him gene
rally creates enthusiasm, but on this
occasion Demosthenes or Cicero could
not have filled the bill, and, it is sad to
relate, the thing was failure. Cham
bin repeated. in qualified way, his
boast, made at the opening Of his can
ssss, that he would beat Ryan 700
votes. Why, Major Heaton and John
4. Ryan will sweep this county, as
Lee will sweep the State. The Repub-
Leans admit that Wise's failure to put
in,sn appearance yesterday was almost
disastrous in its effects, but say it can
be femedied. With US there are no ifs
or butts. +.

vited him to write for his journal. He
consented, and contributed about forty
articles. among which was an essay on
the mule. They were published, and
fell fiat. Why? was the problem.
Reading sketch by "Artemus
Ward" and comparing it with work Of
his own, Mr.. Shaw concluded that the
secret Of his failure was in the correct
ness of his spelling. lie accordingly
took down his essay on the mule,
Slowed round the spelling" as he
expressed it, and mailed it, with the
signature " Josh Billings" to the New
York Era. 1t was published and went
the round Of the press. From that
time forward the quaint, mlsspelled
productions Of Josh Billings" COM
manded great popularity, and were re-
munerative to both author and publish
ers. He was equally fortunate as
public lecturer, subsequent to a brief
period Of comparative failure. At the
close Of the war, after having delivered
a few lectures in country towns, he
spoke in Philadelphia at the invitation
Of the Press Club, and made what he
called the first success Of his life.
Henceforward his acceptability as a
speaker was at least equal to his good
fortune with his pen. What estate
Josh" left is not yet known, but
there is no doubt that it is OF con-
siderable value. His services on
the platform commanded high rates.
and his literary productions were paid
for exceedingly we'll. One weekly paper
alone in New York paid him hundred
dollars a week for a half column Of
matter. In 1873 he began the publ
cation Of his /" Farmers Alminax," a
book which in its second year had a
sale Of l27 900 copies, and in ten years
had Melted the author and publisher
100000 each.
Mr.. Shaw looked like a very melan-
choly person, but was a happy man,
devoted to home and family. He wore
grotesque clothes and long gray hair.
Especially in his last years he had
many warm friends who speak in the
highest manner Of his qualities of
heart and head. He was well edu-
Gated, and possessed excellent literary
taste.
Mr.. Shaw leaves a widow. two
daughters, and several grandchildren.
One of his daughters was married to
millionaire Of South America; the
other to wealthy broker of New York.
