COD?MBlA, & C. Tann lay Morning, April 24.1873. , I Ii Ihe Pope Dying! Pope Pias the Ninth has bad a num? ber of escapes from death by various at? tacks of illness, bat he is now stricken in years, and cannot expect.exhausted nature to do much for him in the way of reouperative resources. Prostrated by rheumatic fever aud afflicted witb nloora tion of one of his limbs, he ia supposed to be so seriously assailed that his reco? very for any length of time may be con? sidered doubtful. As Qiovanni Marie Maslai FerreUi?the family name of Pio Nino?was born in 1790, he is in the eighty-tl|ird year of his age, and has a long life, full of vicissitudes, to look baok upon and contemplate. In 1840, he was 'oreatqd Cardinal Archbishop of Imola, in the Romagua. Pope Gregory XVI died June }, 1840, end Ferrbttl was elected to tho Papacy 'fifteen days after r wards aaiW ^Inor-Piaa the IX-; At firat, hie popularity was. eicessiva, but J tho French Revolution, id^848, inspired Italian patriots with an enthusiastic spirit of liberty, and as the Pope refused to yield to it, but, on the contrary, ma? nifested strong re actionary tendencies, his temporal power' began to: wane. Finally, he selected as his Minister Oonnt Rossi, ono of the most unpopular of Ronfe's aristooraoy, and the popular in? dignation at once oommenoed action. Rossi was assassinated, and the Pope fled to Gaetja. The French army -finally drove the insurgents out of Rome, and the Pope returned to the Yatioan. In September, 1870, however, the French forces were withdrawn from Rome,*Vic? tor Emsnael oooapied it with Italian troops, and as a temporal sovereign, the Pope's oareer was praotically terminated. Pio Nino has never consented to this transfer of authority, and still protests that he is the head, not only of the uharoh, bat of Italy. He moreover in? sists upon the dogma of bis infallibility. Bat death will soon reader even ambition silent, and the sorrows of the Pontiff, his errors and his virtues, will beoome mat? ters only of history. ?< m ? ? Thb Policy of Extermination.?The diversity of opinion among the daily papers in reference to the Indian policy now to "bo pursued is remarkable. On one side, the extremists raise, a cry for extermination; on the other, the Peace Commission still stands oat for *'Peace 1 peace! when there is no peace." Be tween . these two, all shades of opinion are represented. The Graphic oomes oat witb a very striking picture of "the only Indian reservation of the future"? a grave-yard and gallows; and the World j and many other influential journals go nearly as far, in words strong, bitter and ill-judged. Tribes inhabiting a thou? sand miles of territory would be involved in the revengeful feelings excited by a band,of only. 300 treacherous savages among the Oregon-lava beds. We have 300,000 Indians on our border, 90,000 of whom are peaceable, semi-civilized and quiet; 55,000 savage and roaming, and the rest giving but little trouble, if let alone by the white settlers, unscrupulous agents and a meddling Government. Givo these Indians, then, the same just ioo that'is 'given to white men?punish the guilty, bat let the innocent go free. I!ei!oukh on South Carolina?He Prays fob tub Indians.?Henry Ward Beeoher, in a ohoraoteristio sermon at Plymouth Church, Sunday, drew on South Carolina for an illustration: He said that he did hot kuow on earth a more pitiable sight than South' Caro? lina. It was at one time the richest and proudest of the States; It inaugurated those ideas which led to the disaster of: the war and the cleansing of the conti? nent. The people of South Carolina had risked and sacrificed everything for their, prinoiples; they had soon their children laid in the grave and their households reduced to beggary, and yot, in the plenitude of thoir sorrow, they woald take baok no particle of their faith in the cause. Though in a bad cause, they had shown a heroism it would be well to pattern and admire. In bis prayer, ho besought the Father of all mankind to remember in mercy the children of tbe forsBt, whose pent up wrongs had driven them to bloodshed and diabolical murder. Information Wanted.?A letter has been handed us, making inquiries about Mr. Wilson O. Bruce, who lived in Snin ter for many years previous and np to 1869, since whioh time nothing has been beard from him by.his relations. He also bad a brother .of eccentric habits, who loffc Monroe County, N. OS, to re -oido with his brother, W. O. Bruoc. Thoy were both bachelors, neither under sixty years of age, well educated and de? cidedly intelligent. Any one knowing anything of either of those gentlemen will confer a great favor on a number of relations, by communicating with Mr. Clement D?wd, President of the Mer? chants' and Farmer?'

WABING, Secretary. Tho following is the address of tho Executive Committee' to tho peoplo of tbo State, in accordance with the resolu? tion of the Board of Trustees: Southern Life Insurance Co., Columbia, S. G, April 22, 1873. To the Citizens of South Carolina: The Trustees of tbo Columbia branch of the Southern Life Insurance Company, with its prinoipal offices at Memphis, Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, re? spectfully invite your attention to the claims of tbis oompany to public confi? dence and support. It was organized in 186d, amid tbo gloom and despondency following the close of hostilities, and was the pioneer in its peculiar and beneficent field. Having to oontend with tbo almost uni? versal distrust in tbo stability of South? ern institutions, its unparalleled success is not only sn earnest of ability and eco? nomy of management, but a monument of the patriotism of an appreciative though suffering people. Wo have been solicited, and have, in order to found one grand organization for the whole South, consented to join tbis worthy enterprise. Founded on a solid rooueyed basis, with ample capital and Iatgoscoumulation of assets, its ratio of assets to liabilities (the truo test of a company's strength) equals all the older companies. Whilo thcro are several departments, they uru departments of tbo samu compuny, and each and every ono guarantees tbo payment of the poli? cies of the oompany. One of the prime objects of < nization is to obeok the drain < from the Booth, end at the same time to furnish to the people as safe and a* ho neatly managed a company as can be found in any section. > ? > .'?. ^-ii Have the people of this BUte any con? ception of the immense sums of money yearly taken from the entire Souih for life insurance* By calculation, bawd on the best statistics which can bejtm tained, it is estimated that a ram of not less than $6,O0O,OQO or 83,000/000 is sent every year from the Sou^tb for this purpose, the aggregate amount sinoe the war being over $50,000,000. We ask the people to consider bow rapiaiy and into what gigantic proportions every material interest of pur section could be developed by the retention in*our midst of these enormous sums and the accu? mulation of compound interest thereon. This oompaoy is prudently and eco? nomically managed, and is doing a suc? cessful business in all the Southern States, paying largo annual dividends to its policy-holders, an.l always settling its losses promptly. The Columbia branch is nnder safe and discreet management, and a jast proportion of the funds constituting the reserve will be securely invested in par State for the development Of the mate? rial interests of our people The com? pany has already made satisfactory ar? rangements to invest in real estate in the city of Columbia the sum of about $25,000. liOsse8 will be adjusted at the Colum? bia office, without tbe trouble, expense and uncertainty attending collections at remote points and from unknown per? sons. No Southern man should send his money ont of the Booth for life in? surance, when Southern companies, in every respect reliable, are seeking pa? tronage. In order to check the immense drain of capital from the South to the North, we have made satisfactory arrangements to transfer parties w?u> are now paying premiums to Northern companies, without loss or addi? tional annual outlay. We urge upon our fellow-citizens the consideration of the subject and the great importance of keeping capital at home. The central office at Columbia and the auxiliary offices throughout our jurisdiction, will furnish all information and receive applications for ineuratioo in this Company. N JAMES E.

The Modocs ?It seems that these fe? rocious savages do not live by bunting, but that they are root-eaters, thus form? ing an exception to the rule which as? signs root-eaters to the lowest class of Indians. They are said to have some proud traditions and inspiring legends. The Missouri Republican, whioh seems well versed in their history, relates tbe following: "Not far from where they now Bland at bay, tbey point to a high rook, upon whioh a band of their warriors was once beleaguered. All retreat being cat off, and no escape possible, except by volun? tary death, the Modocs stood ap in line upon tbe brink of the dizzy precrpioe, j sang their death song with defiant ges? tures, in full view of their enemies on the plains below, looked their bauds and sprang with a shout of triumph to in i stant death." A HonniDLB Tat.k of Mcrdbr.?A dreadful murder was committed near Camden, in this State, on Friday night last. About five years ago, Robert Pierce, then at work for Alexis Beeman, seduced his employer's daughter, and married her after the birth of theirobild. He was always jealous of his wife, and would hardly allow any one to speak to her; ho even accused her of unfaithful? ness to her marriage vows, and in other ways endeavored to irritate bor and bring her into disrepute, and often threatened I to leave her to take care of herself. J Sometimes ho would beat her, bat she never spoke of these things, except to her father and ono old lady who was a near neighbor and took an interest in her. On Friday night last, as appears from tko testimony of their little daugh? ter, Cora, and the appoaranoe of tbe room in which the deed was committed, Pierce brutally murdered his wife with an axe, as she was preparing for bed. He then loft the house with his gun, and has not been Been since the murder was discovered. The children?two girls and a baby boy about eighteen months old? passed the night in tbe room with their dead mother; and in the morning, Cora, the eldest, got some cold potatoes for them, returned to tho bod, and shared the food witb tho others. The baby crawled or fell off the bed, dragged him? self through bis mother's blood, and marked her clothes with bloody hands, in its appeals for protection. So tbe childreu passed Friday night, Saturday, j Saturday night and Sunday forenoon, when a sister of tho murderod woman found them and discovered the awful crime. Neighbors were summoned, and found the mangled body of tbe woman lyiug on tho floor, near tbo axe with which tho rnirder had been done. Tho baby wus lying between its mother's foot, smeared with blood, oold and on the verge of starvation; tbo little girls were in bod to keep warm. The coro? ner's investigation disclosed no other facts than those given above, except that Mrs. Pierce was with child when killed. |_jV?u> York Tribune.

Pn^vrvTAvi?A young Now Yorker of fashion says that tho only thing he learned whilo in Paris was to drink absinthe. Is not this a powerful argu? ment in favor of homcness over absin theism? A timid man who, for tbe first time in his life, has provided himself with a pistol as a protection against burglars, is trying to inure himself to the use of it by taking gun-powder with his victuals instead of salt. When a man reforms from drink and begins to take care of himself, he gene? rally remarks that ho is going to build up his constitution anew. Was it with a viow to tbis that, for years, bo kept accumulating bricks in bis hat? A theological student on being re? monstrated with by ono of his pastors, for indulging in matutinal Btimuiants, replied that in all his reading of books on divinity he never once found any allusion to gin cock tails, and he con? tinues to take them. "Will tho coming man part his hair in tbo middle?"' is Ihe subject of a lecture soon to be dclivorcd here by a well known professor of .physiognomy.

The most patronized barber in Provi? dence is a mute gentleman. . Jnsti u McCarthy opens ta e Galaxy, for May with a chatty sketch of? "The Na? tional . Assembly' at 1 Versailles." ., ''&t first," says Mr. MoOarthy, "tho idea oonveyed. to the wind of the unaccus? tomed visitor (to the theatre in -which the Assembly meets) is entirely that of an ordinary theatre during, a morning performance.. He can hardly for a time bring himself to believe tbat this is a great National Assembly, charged with tbe regeneration of a crushed and con? quered country. He seems rather to be 'assisting* at the representation of some comedy." After saying tbat admission to the galleries is not easily obtained, tho essayist goes on to remark tbat "tbe de? bates oro hot and angry, and earnest enough sometimes to banish from the mind of a spectator any thought of light comedy:" ! ... "I was in the House of Commons on the famous night of tbe o ibate on Sir I Charles Dilke's motion, anc r have seen many another stormy scene .a tbe same House, not to speak of some rather noisy discussions in the Capitol at Washing? ton, and scenes in the- Palais Bourbon, Paris, when-tho Imperial 'Corps Legis latif sat there, auu tho historical five were doing the whole work of opposi? tion. But I, at least, never heard Buch vehement, persistent .-and--'passionate clamor as in the ? theatre of Versailles daring tbe sitting of this present Assem? bly. The whole 750 odd members seem at times to be yelling with one throat. Half are trying to scream down the speaker; half the other moiety are shout? ing in his defence; the rest are bawling out appeals for ailence. Tbe orator in the tribune shrieks defiance to his ene? mies, and shakes bis fists at them, and bangs tbo front of his rostrum some? times with both hands together. Now and then some interruption, shriller or nearer than tbe rest, catches bis ear, and he goes off into an episodical alteroation with that particular enemy, each 'skirl? ing,' as tbe Scottish fish-wtveB would say, at the very top of bis voice. The Presi? dent endeavors to restore order by ring? ing his bell in a manner which wonld suggest to English ears the notice of a departing train or an approaching muffin man. Tho bell only adds another dread? ful sound to the din; until the Assembly bus fairly spent itself witb rage and roar? ing, there is no chance of quiet." Hotel Arrivals, April 28, 1878.?
