While the negroes were talking of matter* which the little boy took little or no interest in, he climbed into Uncle Remus's lap, a* he had done a thousand times before. Presently the old man groaned, nnd laid ???I be blea* ef I know w???at de raarter, honey. Ydoancr whe???er I???m gittin??? fibble in de lim???s, er whe???er youer outgrowin??? me.

The child protested that he wasn???t very heavy, and that ho wouldn???t have any nurse, aad the old man was about to forget that ho had said anything about nursea, when Daddy Jack, who seemed to be dosiroua of appearing good-humored in the presence of Tildy, sud denly exclaimed: ???Me bin yeddy One tale 'bout da tarn w???en da lil Bear is bin uusa da 'Gator chilluu*.

Seeing that Daddy .lack manifested symp toms of goiug to sleep, Uie little boy asked if he wouldn???t tell the story, and, thus appealed to, the old African began: A PATRIARCH???S DEATH. Tlio Story of the Lnte John Phlntzy, the Oldest Graduate of the University. From the Augusta. Os., Chronicle. At the advanced age of ninety-one years, five months and twenty-seven days,, this venerable and highly esteemed citizen, who was born in the county of Oglethorpe, iu this state, on the 7th day of Jauuarv, 1793, passed quietlv away from earth on ton 4th inat., at 10 o???cfock a. m., surrounded by his sorrowing family. The scenes that have so long known him will know him no more forever! In the fullness of years, after an active, useful career, distinguished by unfaltering energy, earnest purpose, resolute will and great success, he sleeps with his fathers. It is men of his strong mould and iron will, l??oru on her soil and growing up with her, as it were, that have given to Georgia that sterling and proud character that has won for her the renowned niche she occupies in the temple of the great sisterhood of states. There was a robustness of personal manhood in all the qualities of physical activity, intellectual strength and indomitable will of Mr. Phinizy, that gave to him a marked individuality that won lil have made him a man of note and con trolling in Hue nee iu any community where his lot may have been cast. Hut nujwrMddcd to all these personal qualities and elements of success, Air. 1???hiuizy was a gentleman of fine education and general culture. He graduated with distinction at the Htatc university in the class of 1811, when be was only 18 years of age. When ho i eight years old he removed from ( ??? rpe to this city, and here his long and ntful life has been spent.

The Outlook of Iltislneaaaa Reported by G. Dim A Co. While the failures for the first half of lfrit In the United States are only 18 percent more than for the corresponding period of the year before, yet the liabilities for the same period are nearly dou ble. The great growth iu liabilities Is due to the recent psuic,and the stringency affects speculative stocks only. Yet all business suffers from the tightening of the money market Taking It alto gether, the first half of i;#l has lteeu a period greater strain upon the commensal fabric of the country than almost Iny preceding six months Its history. In the post them have beca periods when, for a brief space, the suddenness and Inten sity of disasters have tested the strength of fiuan clal institutions, and attacked the solidity of the best concerns. But It has rarely been the ill-for tune of the commercial community to have steady a strain extend over a period so long, dur ing which events of such startling magnitude have occurred, accompanied by a depreciation values and a disappearance of wealth so sudden am) irrevocable. Reviewing the six months from a purely financial (mint of view, os exemplified by the operations iu AYall street and their p^pifbfe effects outside, the disasters which have occurred to legitimate commercial enterprises have been surprisingly few.

The little* fltictiiutious that have occurred, the enormous shrinkage iu values, uud severe restrictions which monetary institution haves found it necessary to enforce, that failures have not bceu more numerous. 80 that, Instead of being depressed by tiie figures which we herewith present. Indicating, 11s they do, a large iuemua: in casualties, mid an enormous growth In liabilities, there is yet comfort to be found iu the fact that the rank nnd file of legiti mate business men have withstood aahock so se vere. They have uot only been able to respond to their obligations promptly, but are Innsim take advantage of a revival of trade, which Ocrtainly follow. The only serious clement which threatens Is the possible restriction of hanking accommodation throughout the country, ns tho result of the finau- ??? listiirbanecat the inouetary centres. This mroodatiou merchants have been accustomed to rely upon, and as capital is largely locked up in ftn Freshourses ???peared like the^ would jist har- dnciously climb all over the man' spite of I overthing if ther mummy hadn???t jerked ???em I bock. ??? fine gin Dicky a jerk uud lowed; ???tfcl down tliar, Dicky, tho stranger don???t S io fins* you.

But, with the expectation of a 1*etter condition of things, the hope is a rea sonable one; that the ordinary business facilities which tiie commercial community have u right to expect, will l??e afforded to them. The restriction which has thus far taken place in loans haa btvn enormous, but it has been responded-to in a man ner Hint is astonishing in view of its sudden ness.

There has been a good yield of wheat, and the oat crop has been above the average. The rice crop, ex cept In a few sections, owing to freshets. I* repre sented as In good condition. The naval store trade, from present outlook, will be considerably less than heretofore. Our lumber trade has greatly In creased, faith In domestic and foreign demand. Owing to (mrtlal failure of cotton crop last year, most of the interior merchants have had to ask accommodations, bnt strict economy has been used, aud with a good crop.
