HE MARINE RECORD 3 OLD TIME STEAMBOATING. From the Minneapolis Tribune, Mr. Henry J. Lyda, steward of the Belle of Minnetonka, has had an experience of thirty-seven years on a steamboat, and being an excellent conversationalist often enter} tains Ins friends with reminiscences «f twenty and thirty years ago. Mr. Lyda las a very retentive memory, and his experience savors decidedly of the romantic. He cor = menced his steamboat lite Mareh 4th, 1846, when he was less than 10 years of age, en- gaging as cabin boy on the Zanesville packer, running between Pittsburg, Pa., and Zanes- ville, O. ‘The bout was one of the largest on the inland waters at that time. She was owned by Captain Seales, her commander, and Jane MeMillen, who usually sailed with us. “‘Old’ Jane, as she was best known, was one of the most remarkable characters I have ever known,”’ said Mr. Lyda, ‘Own- ing half the boat she kept her weather eye open, and was omnipresent. During the trips she filled the various positions on the eraft from chambermaid to pilot and captain, and had the best general knowledge of nau- ‘tieal affairs of any person on the boat. When either Captain Seales or his sons were sick, old Jane would fill the positions for the nonce, to complete satisfaction, and she made ita personal matter to see that all went right from stem to stern. I have often seen her ou the lower deck looking after the freight, seeing that it was properly stowed away, and that it went ashore at the right landing, or if not on the lower deck, she would be up in the pilot-house with band on the wheel, stcering the boat. ‘There was no pilot on the bout or on the river who knew the ehannel better than old Jane. 1 ‘have often seen her on the hurricane deck acting ae captain and giving the orders for landing. Jane was brave, generous and charitable, and as long as she owned the boat, her acts of kindness were many and varied. In 1848 she retired from steamboat- ing and passed the remainder of her days on her farm, ou the banks of the Muskingum river. On her retirement the boat changed hands, She was always successful as long as Jane cominanded her, and:she will be re- membered by many persens now living at Pittsburgh, St. Louis, ete. Dave ‘Tipton, now commanding a United States signal- service steamer, was mate on the Newark during ‘Old Jane’s’ incumbency of the sev- eral positions above noted.” - In 1850 Mr. Lyda was steamboating on the Hatchee river, sixty miles ubove Memphis, and whick empties into the Mississipi river at Randolph. ‘I'he river was very crooked, and it was not an unusual thing for two bonts to run for hours in sight of each other, though going in opposite directions. Be- tween the curves of the river ‘at stated in- tervals was a narrow strip of land, and the river was 80 narrow that the boats could hardly pass each other at night, and it was found necessary to build fires on the bow of the boat each night that the pilots’might dis- cern where they were going. “We did not pay 15 tu 25 cents tor meat in those days, for every boat carried one or more hunters, who would stop ever on the neck, and while waiting for the boat to come around a bend would kill enough game to last several days. We had lots of fun killing bear in those days, and even to the present day bears are plenty on the banks of the lower Mississippi. A year or two ago, while in sight ot Vicksburg, I saw two huge black bears on the shore come tothe water’s edge, drink and walk back to the cane brakes.” Mr. Lyda served through some of the most imporiant naval engagements in the rebellion and ranks in the navy as an able- bodied seaman. He has been engaged on the largest, finest and beat steamboats on the Mississippi and its tributaries for the past thirty five years, and is probably one of the most widely known steamboaters in the northwest. ‘This is his second season on the Belle, and during the winter months he rune between St. Louis and New Orleans. He achieves success in every position in which he engages, and his romantic experience, if properly recorded, would fill an interesting book of many pages. ——_____— Mr. O. H. Robinson, of Manistee, Mich., is the patentee of an improved rotary engine, in which he employs a wheel or case having internal steamways eccentric to its shaft, and provides the shafts with a radially mov- ing valve which serves as a gate or piston against which the steim acts. A patent has recently been issued to Mesere, F’. I. and H. F. Harwich, of Onaga, Kan., tor an improved boring machine... The invention consists of ‘improved feeding mech- n,and a system of change-gearing for driving the same, whereby the feed gear can be reversed to withdraw the auger to bring the chips from the hole, while the tool con- tinues to revolve in the same direction as when boring. AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE. Few readers can be aware until they have had oceasion to test the fact how much pain and expe ise isoften saved by an early at- tention to any slight bodily aMiction. In this connection it would be well to explain by way of illustration that any irritation of the skin or symptoms of piles should com- mand immediate attention and an immedi- ate application of Swayne’s ointment, otuer- wise it might develop into something more than superficial.
