Tin* Hill N > • Cigar Grievance.
The famous bald headed humorist is
paying oue of the penalties of popularity
by having a cigar named after him. As
the cigar seems to be a combination of
abomination and villainy, Bill desires to
repudiate the paternity that may be
ascribed to him, and the Courant-Ameh-
ICAN is quite willing to help him out with
out any charge for advertising space.
The following extracts will suffice to
convey the warning:
It may seem like a personal matter,
but 1 desire at this time to discuss a
question which not only interests me, but
the American people almost equally as
much.
f refer to a cigar which has recently
been issued in the United States, entitled
the Bill Nye cigar, apparently made
under my own personal supervision and
at my behest. To those who may have
purchased these weeds, believing that I
made them with my own fair hands, I
desire tostate that they have been cruelly
deceived.
From all over the Union word is com
ing, ever and anon,, in relation to these
cigars. Judging by the tone of these
letters I conclude that these cigars are of
inferior quality. I therefore desire to
caution the public against using them to
excess, and also to state that the cigars
are not made by me, but at a distance
from my Slosh and Slippery elm hurst.
For this reason it frequently happens
that bits of wire, rubber, Madura overalls
and other foreign substances are intro
duced in their manufacture.
1 know that tobacco “is a filthy weed,
and does much harm in the world, but
that is no reason why a cigar manufact
urer should seek to carry on his business
without using it. We can hardly hope
to abolish tobacco by making cigars
from an inferior grade of flannel. I have
steadily opposed all classes of frauds and
imitations all my life. Even when my
eyes were first opened to the wonderful
truth that nobody had ever known a
goat to die a natural death, and that
mutton continued to be plenty even after
sheep disappeared, 1 went to my butcher
and told him that the square, open way
was the best way, and 1 fell that way yet.
To show the reader that I have lost
caste among my friends because my name
is attached to a cigar that is in bad odor,
I give below a few letters from those who
once respected me.
Eufaula, Ala.
Mil Xve, New York —Dear Sir: I have
been a reader of your pieces in the papers
for many years, and have certainly been
greatly benefitted by them, but you hurt
youi self when you went to making cigars.
I bought a box of the Bill Nye cigars a
week ago. and that evening smoked one
iu mv study. I lost the use of the study
for two or three days, and my wife has
not come back yet.
What do you put in your cigars aside
from the rag-carpeting and roman-can
dles? Did you invent the cigar or do you
just manufacture it for the inventor?
Our physician says he thinks you got the
cigar out of your own head, but it does
not seem possible that your head is in
that condition. If so I hope that you
will try to do something for it before it
is too late. So no more at present. From
your true friend,
Earl H. Adams.
This letter pained me too much, for it
was written in such a gentle spirit by one
who evidently had my best interests at
heart. 1 began to be alarmed, but thought
that perhaps he had struck a bad cigar
which had crept into the box without my
knowledge while the rest are all right.
Just then I received the following:
Stone Lake, lowa.
Bn.lXve, Esq—Dear Sir: Your cigars
have just reached Western lowa. We
have had nothing like it since the close
of the war. I was just lighting one of
them yesterday when its contents fell
out on the floor, leaving the wrapper in
my hand. After you have finished your
cigars you should put a stopper in the
end to keep the debris from spilling out.
Do you get your cigar linings from
abroad? Wehave a curled-hair in at trass
factory here that you could make a deal
with after you run short ot scrap-iron
and retired cedar-block pavement.
If you could afford to boil down a few
pounds of tobacco and pour the broth
over your cigars, it would help to deaden
the effects of foreign substances and add
a flavor to the Manilla wrapper you now
use.
Generally Ido not go out of my way
to give advice, but in this instance I feel
that I ought to tell you that the best
thing for you to do with these cigars is
to use them for home consumption. I
would like to witness a few rounds be
tween one of these weeds and a long
standing case of home consumption.
Possibly you have been wronged, how
ever. Last year I saw a horse that had
been named after you, and he did not
resemble you in anyway. He was a
heavy-set horse and had considerable
■mse.

reaching a tremendous sale. It is a
flagrant wrong to the people of the
United States, however, and 1 hereby
proclaim that I will not defray the ex
penses or assist at the obsequies of those
who smoke these cigars.
