A N original and amusing letter of
n resignation, written in his ca
4 y pacity as postmaster at Lara
mie, Wyo., to President Arthur, first
brought Bill Nye to public notice.
Somehow a copy of this letter es-
capped from the Presidents files. and,
as Nye says, was copied from Japan
to South Africa and from Beersheba
to a given point" Bill Nye disproves
the assertion that a reputation as a
humorist will keep man out of pub
lie Office In addition to the post
mastership at Laramie he was Justice
of the peace for six years and might
have held other Offices within the
gift of the community had he so
wished.

Bill Nye was popular as a lecturer.
He had delightfully."- frank per-
sonality and his simplicity of manner
and hatred of sham won him host
of friends. Nye never wished to be
considered a phenomenon. For some
time James Whitcomb Riley and Bill
Nye Travelled together 1t was an
oddly mated team for the lecture
platform and a highly successful
combination.
In 1877 Nye married Clara Frances
Smith. They had two sons and two
daughters. On February %, 1896, he
died near Asheville. N. C. With his
death there passed away the old
school of American humor; for he
had carried into this generation the
style of absurd extravaganza and
exaggeration that was characteristic
of Josh Billings. Artemus Ward,
Orpheus Kerr, and the fun-makers of
wartime.
