While I standing on the sidewalk in front of Mrs. I Wloklifle's reeidenoe, engaged in a eon I vernation, he was strloken with apoplexy or heart failure, and di od instantly. The announcement was a surprise and shook I tc his friends and acquaintances, especi ally to all who, only that .morning, saw him walking about the tweets in good health and spirits, Thus, again, are we furnished a striking i ns tau co of tho verity Of tho laying: "lu tho midst of life we are in death.'* But be had seen more than hie four score ye&rs/tsd was living on borrowed time. Be was born January 15th, 1825, at HaghesvUie, Lyooming county, Pa., be ing the fourth eon of Frederiok and Cathe rine Stesk, who reared a family of five sons and three daughters. Of these, one brother, Rev. Charlea T. Steck, D. D., of Shamoktn, Pa., and one sister, Mrs. Julia BOM, of li ugh es vii lo, Pa., are living. Be was eduoated for the ministry at Wittenburg College, Springfield, Ohio, where he spent seven years, taking both the collegiate and theological oourses.

Iowa; Altoona, Pa., and Chambere urg, Pa,, where he was preaehing when the war commenced. Here his voioe failed, and he moved to Hamilton, Ohio, where he resided for nine years and en gaged in merchandising. In 1872 his health being restored, be resumed preach ing, aod served successfully and success ively some of the strongest chm eli es in Springfield.

For many years he suffered with an nffeotion of the throat, whioh prevented him from public speaking. But he was not idle. M noli of bis time waa given to canvassing for standard, religion? and literary publications, and thus waa he engaged to the last: While at Ninety-Six on Sunday, 11th instant, he preached by invitation of the f?astor, in tue Methodist ohuioh, and de Ivered a strong, earneet and impressive discourse to the edification of a large congregation, it was spoken of as a re markable effort for a man of his years. Be wa? a ' po scholar and one of the best inform cu men in the State along literary, theological and historical lines. Be was a cl OH o st intent all hie life, and aa a recognition of hie ripe scholarship and eminetioe as a pulpit orator thc degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by hie alma mater in 1876. He was oast in a large mould mentally and physi cally, and his natural strength remained unabated to the end. Be is survived by bis widow, three ; sons and four daughters. His youngest son ia J. A.

It has no superior for sprains and swellings. A piece of flannel slightly dampened with Pain Balm is superior to a plaster for lame baok or pains in the side or chest. It also relieves rheumatio pains and makes sleep and rest possible. For salo by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lun ney, Seneca. Little River Locals.

Columbia, NOT. 20.-The impressive ceremony of the unveiling of the hand some $80,000 bronze equestrian statue of Xion. Wade Hampton, one of thc world's greatest cavalrymen and Month Carolina'* greatest statesman and most lovable son, brought 10,000 people to the oity to-day, the special and regular trains from every portion of the State being crowded. Main street, beautifully decorated in Confederate colors, was thronged aa on a big day of fair week and the long pro cession, representing the Confederate organisations of the State, the schools and colleges, the National Guard organi sations, the executive, judicial and leg islative branches of the State govern ment, waa oheered to the echo as it moved down Main street from the post office; thenoe around the Capitol build ing opposite the stand e roo ted for spe cial guosta by the side of the statue, which faces the Capitol building from the east. The unveiling oeremony proper opened with prayer from Bishop Capers. Then after music the unveiling was done by the Hampton grandchildren, four girls and one boy. A groa, shout went np from 10,000 voices aa the folds fell away from the handsome figuro of Hampton on his steed. The commission then formally turned the monument over to Governor Hay ward, who received it in behalf of toe State and introduced Geueral Butler, the orator of the day, who charmed his audi ence with a two hours' splendid oration. General Butler is one of the South'* splendid speakers and his fascinating diction and touching eioqueuce held the attention of the crowd tbroughont. HAMPTON IX His io uv. In the orowd assembled to w<tn?M the unveiling of the monument to Wade Hampton and to give a last greeting to Sooth Carolina's dead ohieftsru, there were old and young, veterans who fol lowed him to hattie, men who were with him in 1876, men and women then un born, and strangers from afar caught up by the spirit of the occasion. Significant is the fact that lust thirty years ago ail eye* were turned to Hamp ton. At every railway station anxious crowds were assembled to catch any news that might be afloat. Hourly mes sages came and went from one end of the State to the other. Here In Colum bia angry orowds surged to and fro. No man knew what an hour might bring forth. The one supreme figure, calm and unruffled, that kept his head through all the storm, was Wade Hampton. On hi* broad shoulders rested the fate of a people. Toe people trusted not io vain. He rose to the occasion, saw that conflict with the Federal authorities must be avoided at all hazards, met tho excited orowd of his fellow-countrymen at Demo cratic headquarters and told them to go home-that was all. "I have been elected Governor of South Carolina and by the eternal God I shall be Governor, or else there shall be none. Disperse quietly and so to your homes." These were his words and they stilled the gravest orisis in South Carolina's history. No man saw the way out but Wade Hampton, the chevalier without reproach. . Now, thirty years after, Wade Hamp ton sleeps beneath a great live oak In Trinity churchyard, and what remains of him is bis memory and the memorials that a people's love have erected to him. The handsome equestrian monument shows the great chieftain mounted on a i fiery steed, in the act of greeting his troops. His hat is in his right hand, the left grasping the reina short and the charger's arching neok showing how un willing the steed is to stop. The wind of bis forward movement is fanning his hair and the fringe of his coat is blown back. The expression is one of love, mingled with fatherly pride in his men. The statue of Hampton and of his horse are cast in hollow bronze And strikingly handsome. The face of the hero is turned to the west, whether by design or accident. In any oase, there is appropriateness in the selection, since Hampton spout much of his time in the west, and it was from Mississippi that he came baok to redeem South Carolina. He was facing the west in 1805 when he retreated from Columbia before Sher man's overwhelming force. Westward was the course of the old pioueers, and Hampton harked back to the old days of the republic HAMPTON, THE MAN. South Carolina never had a more un selfish man. There never was a time when he was not willing to die for the State, and* even tm enemies admitted that. The State has produced mauy moro brilliant, many more learned, many more profound; but never in its history bas there arisen a publio mau who thought Of 80lf less than i lampton. Born tho richest man in tho Southern States, opposing secession to the very last, tho owner of 40-') slaven, with prop erty enough to have gone to Europe and been a prinoo for the rest of his life, he yet threw all in the balance when the State had aoted and never wa? heard to utter a single regret. Even after the war, when his property was swept away, ho had offers from Europe to go there, especially England, where the English nobility idolized him, but he remained with his peoplo, showing the same un selfish dovotion in adversity that had marked him in the heydey of his power. The picture reoalls Gon. Robt. E. Lee, to whose unselfish patriotism Hampton might truly be compared. Hore is the inscription: WEST SIDE. Governor of South Carolina 1870-1870.

There were so many ways in which Hampton has benefited South Carolina that it would be hard to enumerate thom. He put the soft-shell turtlo into the Congaree river, he stooked many rivers with red-fin trout, he filled South Caro lina with blooded stook and oattle, even bringing ovor pedigreed hounds. He wa* in all senses of the word a publio benefaotor. WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER BETWEEN THE HOURS OP 2 AND 4 P.
