Last Cargo of African Slaves. (From tbe Washington Post.) "The very last vessel to bring a cargo of African slaves into this country landed -m the coast of Georgia in I860,'* said Col. William Youngblood of Atlanta. "Tbe vessel whose name I do not recall, was operated by two Southern men, Corrie and La mar. I think Corrie 'was from Charleston and his partner was from Savannah, and a member of the celebrated Lamar family. They brougnt over between five and six hundred negros from the shores of Africa, and pro ceeded up the Savannah river to Augusta before attempting to get rid of the slaves. There was lively bidding for the blacks by the planters of Georgia and South Carolina, and they sold like hot cakes at prices rauging from $3oo to $800. Gen. Bear ing, a prominent citizen of Edge field county, S. C., bought twen ty of them. '"At that time I was goiug to school in South Carolina, and happened to pay a visit to the ' home of Mrs*. Tillman, the raoth ; er of the present United States Senator from that State, who also lived is that county. It seems that Mrs. Tillman had been a purchaser at the sale of Corrie and Lamar, and I have a distinct recollection of being - shown one of the young Sene* garabians that she had bought of , them.. He black/as mid night, and when spoken to could only grin and gesticulate. He had not learned a word, of Eng lish." The Bad Boy and tbe Toaclier. A teacher in one of our coun try schools had a class of young scholars before her in mathema tics. The examples were in ad dition and the following illustra* tion was offered by the teacher: "Now, children, if I lay four eggs 011 the desk and Sammy (she pointed to a freckled fuccd lad at the head of the class) should lay three eggs on the desk, how many eggs would be there?" The bad boy of the class who was at the foot, and had listened intently, shouted: "Go on Sam. Take her up! I don't think she can do it.!*' ? Tem ple Tribune. ?
