The events immediately proceeding the death of Tbuddeus Stevens are tew, and not of extrordioary intrust. Yesterday his oondi ion did not seem to bo much bet ter, though it cl id not appear to be to him such au ctf rt to talk. Or one occation when Lis house-keep er came in, after a brief absence, she found him manifesting some little im patience, and begged him sot to fret at his condition To this remark h» replied as if construing her meauiug to be that she though' he would meet his fate calm ly, “Yes. it is true; there can be no use worrying over it. , AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION. About 4 p. m , yesterday, one cd' his distant relative'', Stev(US,aNcw | York lawyer, came into his room, after y busiuesg visit to Attorney Genera! Eva T t 3 , ar.d sitting by the dyirg man, with hi. - '* for nearly an hour. Mr. Si - mon Stevc.'*s then informed him that no had jast left Evans, and that the latter had informed him of the purport of his opinion ot» the Rollins cate, anu that it was in effect that Mr. Ilillii s resignation could not be accepted, etc. To this Mr. Stevens replied: “I bj lievc that Mr. Evarts is not only » sound lawyer, but a statesman, who win advise the President so to act as to au mi.-ter the law iu a manner that wdi avoid tho necessity of Congress meeting in September. If be does,” he contin ued, “I shall bo prouder than ever that I urged his (Evarts’) confirmation.” Mr. Simon Stevens said that he bad mot General Rosccrans, and that the tatter had spokufl of Aluusou Stevens, nephew of ThaddetJW, who was killed at Chickamauga. The dying man looked up and, smiling, said : “He was a brave boy. I liked Rose crans. I hope that Mr. Seward’s in structions to General Roseerans will be such as will tend to build up and strouth cn that tottering sister Republic” He spoke several times of going to his home in Lancaster, and had no idea that his cud was so near at hand. He said to his relative : “I believe Grant will be elected, and that he will carry out the great recoa struction laws.’’ His relative told him about Morrissey betting on Seymour. He replied : “I like him for his pluok.” He spoke of the political prospest in Pennsylvania several times, and said that the great national questions now wc-rc reconstruction, the finances and the railway system.

PRAYER JSY TUB COI.ORED PREACHERS. At about seven o'clock, two colored minister*, Rev Mr. Hall and Uav. Mr. Reed, of the Isreal Methodist Church, arrived and r< quested permission to see Mr. Stevens and pray with him. When a-ked if they should do so, ho said, “Oh, yes.” The<e cAimd ministers then entered his bed chamber at.d approached bis bed-side. He look; and toward them, nodded his head and smiled ; Rev-Mr. llall said; “Mr. St vens, you bavo the ji-aycis of all the colored pe pie n the ceuutry ” lie again nodded his head Thry then pravel at his bedside until 8 o’olook, when they retired. At nine o’clock, last night, his physi cion, Dr Y< ung, of this city, called and found Mr. Stevens sti 1 sinking, and told him that he omld not po-sibly live another day. Mr. Stevens was still conscious and nr.dded with his head. VISITS FROM TIIE SISTERS OF CHARITY, At eleven o’clock two Sisters of Char ity of the l’rovidencc Catholic Hospital, close by, came in, having been daily visitors for many days.

By the time-p.ece in the loom it was just throe minutes past 12 when Mr. Shnon Stevens exclaimed, “lie is dead and the Sisters of Char ity at on. 0 commenced to recite the prayers for the dead. THE LAST WORDS. One of the most important features of the death-bed scene is what may be chronicled as the commoner’s last word*.

I.—Dear Sirs : During a residence some ten years as a missionary in Siam and I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful ecouige t»: p cholera. Iu administeriug tho medicine, I found it most eff dual to give a te.iß[ oonful of Pam K iler iu a gill of hot water sweet ened with sugar; hen alter about fifteen minutes, begin to give a tablespoonful of the Maine mixture every minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to the ex tremities. Bithe the stomach with P in Kil ler, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. l)J those who had the cholera and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of ten recovered.

Swatow, China, Sept. 22, 1865. Messrs. Perry Davis & Son : Dear Si e— I ought to have acknowledge 1 long ago the box of Paiu Killer you had the goodness to send us last year. Its coming was most prov idenLit!. I believe hundreds of lives were saved, under God, by it. The cholera ap peared here soon after we received it. We resorted at once to the “Pair? Killer, !> using as directed for cholera. A list was kept ol all to whom the Killer” was given, and cur native assistants assures us that eight cut of every ton t> whom it was prescribed te covercd. Il has, to*>, been very useful in va rious other diseases. It has proved an incal culable blegfing to multitudes of poor people 4 throughout all this region. Our native preach ers aie never willing to go out on their ex cursions without a supply of tho “Pain Kill er.” It gives them favor in the eyes ol the people, and access to families and localities by whom otherwise they would be iudiffVr ently received.
