ever on steamer of these rivers was
that of the high stepping Robert J.
Ward, which. by the way, was one
Of the swiftest craft OF snte-bellum
days. The furniture in this part OF
the boat was the richest black mahog-
any, consisting OF twelve rockers, sew
en- divans, four large arm, four curve
back aud four rim-baok chairs, one
center table and piano. the case for
which was made to match all the rest
Of the belongings. The carpet was
the richest velvet article, padded be-
meath so as to be entirely noiseless.
The great mirror at the end Of tho
cabin was in magnihcently carved
black mahogany frame, surmounted
with IN eagle in copper covered with
gold leaf. When the Robert J. Ward
was dismantled years ago the late
Captain Iii Reamer, Of New Albany,
bought some of this furniture, and his
son Archie, now Of Louisville, fell heir
to them, so they still exist in excel
lent condition, considering the lapse Of
time
