The Wanderer, in 1859, was the essel that landed the last cargo of ifrican slaves in the United States, 'his ship was built in New York in 856 by Joseph G. Bayless for J. T. ohnson, a member of the New York racht Club. Shortly after the Wanerer was launched from the ways of taylees's shipyard Johnson sold it to Captain Corrie, who retained it ntil the year 1859. It was about his time that Charles A. L. Lamar, f Savannah, Ga., a young man of ne of the wealthiest and most arisDcratic of Southern families, decidd to make the experiment of bringig a cargo of slaves from the west oast of Africa, landing them at some oint on the southern coast of the Fnited States. * This adventurous and daring oung man was tempted to underike this risky enterprise by the normous profits awaiting those who iicceeded in landing negroes in .merica without attracting the atsntion of the courts and officers, 'he importation of slaves had been W utlawed in this country for nearly | alf a century, and such was the igilance of the British, French, and .merican war vessels patrolling the k rest African coast and in running a own suspicious craft that few other v han the most dariner. not to sav fool- S ardy, cared to run the risk of a ft lave voyage. g Lamar took into his confidence 0 Japtain McGee, of Columbia, Ga., gi Lichard Dickerson, of Richmond, a ra., and Captain Egbert Farnum, a n Drmer mail rider, and Indian fighter. 6 "roceeding to New York, these men ? urchased the Wanderer from Cor- 3 ie, joined the New York Yacht club, g pent money lavishly and in such a ^ lanner as to render themselves ex- n remely popular with the "smart ? et" of that period. Lamar ordered A 'arnum to take the Wanderer to g lharleston, S. C., telling his friends /! e intended to set out from that port ^ n a pleasure cruise to China. The ^ ame report was industriously cir- k ulated at Charleston, where, a few ^ reeks later, Lamar and his friends ? oined Farnum. In the late spring of g 859 they set sail for parts known 3 nly to themselves. The voyage to the mouth of the longo river, on the west African v oast, occupied about twice the need-- ? ill period, owing chiefly to the fact ? hat Lamar was obliged to steer clear 3 f a great many vessels he had no _ esire to meet. The ship's destinaion was, however, reached in safef, since it entered the Congo river c nobserved by the warships patrolllg the coast. The anchor of the Vanderer had barely settled in the iver's mud before Lamar and his is ?- U /X vrvHVl A ssuciaxes wcrt uargctimus wim iuc ji ative chiefs and half-caste Portu- v uese slave traders for the delivery c, t a point known as Brazziville of t 00 or more negroes. o The negotiations scarcely were n oncluded when a curious incident appened, an incident that brought q ut the wonderful self-possession, re- g ourcefulness and cleverness of La- r; lar. The meeting with the chiefs jr nd traders had just adjourned and n be owners of the Wanderer were f tepping from the yawl to the yacht b rhen a British man-of-war appear- jj d in the river, anchoring only a jj 3W hundred yards from the slaver. b '.he moment Lamar caught sight of hat vessel he ordered the crew of b he yawl back to their oars, and v rtth Farnum struck out for the rep- c esentative of Her Britannic Majes- t< y on the high seas. He mounted the u idder of the man-o-war, and, pro- E1 eeding straight to the cabin, intro- j? uced himself to the officers, con- e ucted himself in a manner so thor- e ughly agreeable that the officers e rould not hear to his returning until g ite that night. To meet an edu- g ated gentleman in that wilderness h f naked savages and sordid slave unters they declared was a real reat so rarely enjoyed that they T roposed to make the best of it while d ; lasted. The next day Lamar ar- si anged a dinner in honor of the si Iritish officers, a dinner that wa3 o iven on board the Wanderer. He 4 ad completely disarmed their bus- t icions by stating that, as a gentle- ? aan of wealth, he and some friends t< rere making a pleasure cruise to L ndia. tl This dinner was a great success, "w ffiampagne flowed like water and a very one except Lamar became v runk. While the revel was at its K eight Lamar asked one of the guests P t he did not think the Wanderer fi -rould make a capital slaver, a sally ti ;hich excited uprorious laughter h nd applause among Her Britannic tl lajesty's representatives, who de- c< lared that Lamar was a trump. That s< light the man-of-war sailed away p u pursuit of an imaginary slaver h hat, according to reports that La- tl aar had previously set in circula- ^ ion, was down the coast loading ne- b :roes. fi The rp?t nf the storv is soon told, t] 'he Wanderer ran up to Brazziville, | - fa== Syrup Bar For * J We have a la 1 we are going t been looking them home, si make syrup a Peoples L(T I EnHoIaU EkhhSBKBZIIH jvour | as a business ] 9 dispaly in the | able impressic I STY I CL 8 They're ar< | . patterns, and 8 price and alwi 8 STYLEPL1 !they are uncoi perfect satisfc C.

A dispatch from Greenville says-it i believed there that the assertion lay be safely ventured that Greenille is the only city in existence, ^rtainly on this continent, that has ad a citizen called from the vocation f barber to a professorship of Latin 1 a college or university. In 1884, G. A. Poetz came to reenville from the Black Forest reion of Germany, soon after the arival in this city of Prof. A^olf Von 'ingerlin, who taught at one time l Furman University. Prof. Von 'ingerlin is now in California and e has called Mr. Poetz to join him i his university work there, know lg him even as a young man to have een proficient in Latin. G. A. Poetz was the first white arber to open for business in Greenille, and probably the first in South arolina. As a young man he came ) this city, and for years in his leisre he has pursued his linguistic tudies, until now at the age of 40 he ; said to be one of the most proficint men in Latin in this country, uring his citizenship here, he gaind the confidence of everyone, and ood wishes of innumerable friends o with him into his new home and is new field of work. & m Geo.

N A mi stash Mavrodes, of Charleston, Fre Electrocuted in Cafe. The News and Courier says Anas- T tash Mavrodes, a Greek storekeeper timi and one of the volunteers who have thei agreed to return to Greece to fight' turi against the Turks, received a fatal ed i shock, from which he died an hour last later, when he attempted Sunday af- box ternoon to manipulate an electric the fan in his cafe at the corner of Arch- the: dale and Beaufain streets. of i After 6:10 o'clock Mavrodes was up. seen to go to the hanging bulb which stoc is used in regulating the current of whi the electric fan by means of a push hun button. As soon as he grasped the the: small bulb he was hurled to the floor intc and when assistance reached him he T was found lying near the street door unconscious with the bulb held tightly in his hand. strc Medical attention was quickly summoned, but despite the efforts of ^ two physicians and the use of oxygen fa*r air apparatus Mavrodes was practically dead when he was removed to the hospital. However the physi- i cians did not give up hope until all gesi expedients had been exhausted. '^ell Witnesses who were in the neighborhood at the time say that a tele- 45 graph pole on the northeast corner by ! of Beaufain and Archdale streets ZIZ gave forth a flame at precisely the ^ same moment that Mavrodes received the shock. * How Mavrodes 4could have received such a severe shock from the bulb, which carries a voltage of only 110, was puzzling the Consolidated officials when asked about the matter. Employees of the company visited the scene and made an investigation, but finH nnthinc tn ar.mnnt for I WUAU the Greek's death, the wire being ap- I parently in its normal condition. I President Gadsden, however, stated 1 last night that an official investiga- B tion would be held. 9 Mavrodes was the proprietor of a I cafe and pool room, which he had conducted for several years at the B place where he met death. He was H one of the many Greeks who are _ vaiting to return to their native coun" try to bear arms against Turkey and was making arrangements to go i" with a party of Greeks who will leave ? Charleston to-day for the old country. He was about 35 years old and is X survived by a widow and other rela- X tives.
