Correct spud

last one for the night....

What word begins with 'h', ends with 'n', contains six letters, and contains eight words besides itself without transposing a single letter?

 

[TinyKilbasa]

okok one more, just to keep the cobwebs from forming:

Take the first and last name of a famous, old-time actor with six letters in each name. Spoonerize it -- that is, switch the initial consonant sounds. The result will describe a famous historical event of 1876.

enjoy
