and continuing to his neck.
Some discharged loads Of powder
into his naked flesh, as they did also
into Vorys, who, in all probability, had
been scared to death by this time, as he
never uttered a sound or made u move,
and they left him for Hassabotch. They
would snatch up the burning cactus
stalks and apply them to his legs, arms,
face and breast, and in few moments
his whole form was black and blistered
in the most %slckening manner, and yet,
despite this unutterable excruciation,
the MOjave eve once cried for mercy,
but continued his awful chant of death
until all was over.
This horrible torment was kept up
for the period of al hour, and HASA
botch and VOrys were burned out OF all
semblance Of humanity.
"Vorys was certainly dead long before
that relief came to the Mojave, but his
nerves finally lost their sensibility, and
he nc longer shruuk from the fire

But at last his indOmitable spirit

'CACHIsE, Ariz,, Jan. Especial
Correspondents OF THE BEE. 1T has
fallen to my unlucky lot to chronicle
one Of tbs most horrible and revolving
incidents of all our Indian wars-the
burning to death of n private soldier by
n band of Chiricahua Apaches on the
desert plains of Arizona during the
internecine strife hat was carried on
by the government against that trucu-
lent savage king, Cochisc during the
years ~ aud '76.
The story, which is vOuchcd for in the
minutest particulars, and which is on
record among the archives of the war
department, was related to me yester-
day, by a we'll known and popular Of
fcer OF the army, whose name is with
held at his urgent request, as the terri
partly u personal one, and he desires no
undue notoricty at this late day.
Cochise, ii will be remembered by the
readers of the daily papers of ten years
ago, was the king OF the Apaches, the
tiercest, most bloodthirsty and war-like
OF all the red nations beyond the Mis-
sissippi. There is no denying it, this
barbarous chieftain was really n re-
markable IA the superior of Tecum-
sch, and tho equal of Pontiac or King
Philip. He was determined and brave
to recklessness, intensely sagacious. a
natural orator, possessing u brain of
wonderful fertility and invention. He
was cruel, treachereus ana vindictive,
and carried on his warfare against the
white settlers with the remorselessness
OF q fiend. There was nothing chival-
rous about him-on all so hapless as to
fall into his hands were inflicted the
most atrocious barbaritios his devilish
mind could conceive.
For years, ever since he had reached
the period of manhood, when through
inheritance he became the controlling
chief OF the A~paches, CochIse had waged
a bloody and successful strife against all
the white emigrants TO the terri
tory Of Arizona. He had sworn
upon his life and the reputation Of
his people, that no white nan
should erect his lodge within sight of
the Chiricahua mountains that over
looked the hunting grounds OF the
Apaches from the days further back
than history runneth, and, up TO the
date of the commencement of the final
war, his oath had been kept inviolate.
Scores OF venturesome settlers had PEN
trated these prescribed limits for silver
or permanent residence only to find
their graves there, for Cochise was as
watchful as an eagle, and the horrible
butcheries written mp against his name
are number!ess.
The forces of the United States had
not infrequently been sought to subvort
the reign of the tApache king, and
many sanguinary encounters took place,
but he maintained his i~mpregnable po-
sition among the ghostly aud anex-
plored recesses OF the serrated Chiri-
cahuas against every attempt TO dis

asylum IN VIENNA sad end for one
who was once the petted comedy queen
of that city. Chicago theatrical people
knew her we'll. About foul-ycars ago
she played in German with Herr Band
mann at McVicker's. She was told of
the fortune made by foreign actresses
IN this country, and at once began
studying English, which she rapidly ac-
quired. Manager Hamlin seriously
considered starring her at the time.
Manager Henderson also took an inter-
est in her. She went to Nine. Mod
jeska, who recommended Harry Sar-

terward accused the Polish actress Of
having ruined her career at the outset,
by this advice, as Sargent was penni-
less. She attributed Nine. Modjeska's
act to jealousy, which, of course was
ridiculous.
Nine. Janisch went from one misfor-
tune to another, no less than five
ayers successfully trying their luck
with her. She easily induced people to
back her, particularly rich
whom she could somehow f~ascinate.

THE MODERy M4RRT4GE.

A writer in the Astoria (Ore) Tram
script, in commenting on the recent
divorce of a young couple at The
Dalles, who were both under the age
of q years, showed conclusively that
he has never been there himself when
he adapted the following from the pen
Of a well-known humorous writer:
"Nine-tenths of the unhappy mar
riages are the result of green human
calves, being allowed to run at large
in society pastures without any yoke
on them. They marry and have chill
dren before they do mustaches They
are fathers of twins before they are
the proprietors of two pairs of pants,
and the little girls they marry are old
women before they are 20 years old.
Occasionally one Of these gosling mar
liages turns out all right, but it is a
clear ease Of luck If there was law
against young galoots sparkling and
marrying before they have cut all their

would eyade It in some way. But there
ought to be sentiment against it.

DONE IN SECRET.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once, in
speaking of young man who had late
ly died, said He had one quality,
rarer among men than any other, an
absolute lack of self-consciousness.
After his death | saw in London pa
per sketch of his life, in which he
was named as one of the greatest
chess players in the world. Now l
had known him well for ten years and
never heard him speak of the game"
This man was known in the city in
which he lived as the heir of a wealthy
and influential family, young man of
singularly kind, sweet nature, leader
of society, fond of art, fine books,
music and horses. He led, it was com
monty supposed by those who did not
know him well, an idle, luxurious life.
He died of fever contracted in one
of the city hospitals, and after his
death it was discovered that he had
given the greater part of each day to
visiting the prisons and hospitals,
while two-thirds of his income had
gone to the poor.
The good deed done in secret" says
ST. Basil, hath a sweet odor like to
none other when it rises to heaven. "
An American is apt to do clever and
kindly things 1t belongs to his char
acter to play chess brilliantly, or to
give his money or sympathy to the
poor But too many men are willing
that their clever and kind deeds should
be known.
DO all the good you can, said
Dickens to the Scholarship boys, and
don't make a fuss about it. "
What if each boy who reads these
lines should resolve to do each day in
the year one good bit of work and one
kind deed, and to say nothing about
them? At the end of the year he
would have done much toward the
formation of a noble character.

A YOUNG LECTURER.

One of the best and most effective
temperance Lectures | ever heard was
delivered down in South Washington
last week. A bookkeeper for one of
the largest hardware firms in the city
had been drinking very heavily of late,
and his spree eliminated on Friday
night, when he turned his wife and
child out of doors. They remained at
a neighbors house all night, and, of
course, the entire region round about
was discussing the matter with the
great volubility which is customary on
such occasions.
The next morning as the now sober
husband was leaving his house to go
to work he was met at the gate by the
4-year-old offspring of his next-door
neighbor. Looking right up into the
red face of the sot the youngster said /:
Mr.. , did you get drunk last
night and push Mrs. - and Charlie
into the street y
For a moment there was silence, and
the two or three bystanders who heard
the childish query expected the man
to swear at the little one. Then the
great, big, ill-smelling but penitent
drunkard stopped down, picked up
the child and kissed him on the fore
head.
yes, he said, and his voice was
broken, his eyes filled to overlooking
with tears, Il was drunk, and [ was a
brute, but, God helping me, l never
will be again"
He sought his wife and child, Sc
cured forgiveness, signed a total-absti-
hence pledge, and now bidsfa to be
a good citizen. On the mantel in his
parlor he yesterday placed an elab-
orately executed and beautifully
framed copy of that wcll-known pas
