[ Special "Correspondency of THK BKK. ] It has fallen to my unlucky lot to chronicle 'ono of tbfc most horrible and revolting incidents of all our Indian wars the buvning to death of a private soldier by 'n band of ( Jhiricahua Apaches on the desert plains of Arl/.ona during the internecine strife that wiw carried on by the government against that truculent - lent Ravage king , Cochino during the years ' " 2 and ' 70. ' The story , which is vouched for in the minutest particulars , and which is on record among the archives of the war department , was related to mo yesterday - day , by a well known and popular of- fleer of the army , whoso name is with hold at his urgent request , us the torri- llo experience I am about to relate was partly a personal ono , and ho desires no Uiuluo notoriety at this late day. CochiHO , it will bo remembered by the readers of the daily papers of ten yoar.s ago , wns the king of the Apaches , the fiercest , most bloodthirsty and war-like of all the red nations beyond the Mis sissippi. There is no denying it , this barbarous chieftain was really a re- iiuirkablo man , the superior of Teoum- Boh , and tlio equal of Pontiae or King Philip. Ho was determined and bravo to recklessness , intensely sagacious , a natural orator , posseting a brain of wonderful fortuity and invention. Ho was cruel , troaohoreus ana vindictive , and carried on his warfare against the whlto settlers with the romorsoles-siioss of a flond. There was nothing chival rous about him on all so hapless as to fall into his hands were inflicted the most atrocious barbarities his devilish mind could conceive. For years , ever slnco ho had reached the period of manhood , when through inheritance ho became the controlling chief of the ApachcH.Cocluao had waged a bloody and Biicccbsuil ctrlfo against all the white emigrants to the terri tory of Arizona , Ho had sworn upon his Ufo and the reputation of his people , that no white man should erect his lodge within flight of the Uhlrlcahua mountains that over looked the hunting grounds of the .Apaches from the days further back than history runneth , and , up to tlio date of the commencement of the final war , his oath had been kept inviolate. Scores of venturesome tmtlloni hail pen- | % * - truted those proscribed limits for silver ' 'or permanent residence only to II ml their graves there , for Cochiso was as watchful as an eagle , and the horrible butcheries written up against his 11:11110 : uro numberless1. The foroes of the United States had .not Infrequently been sought to subvert ( be reign of thofApaclio king , and muny sanguinary encounters took place , but no maintained his imnrognahlo po sition among the ghostly mm unex plored recossep of the serrated Chirl- orthuus ugainst every attempt to dis lodge him , and sent the disciplined troops , crippled and decimated , flying back to Hie forts along the Missouri and the 1'latte. He laughed in diabolical exultation at the frantic retreats of his blue-coated enemies. All sucli under takings only resulted in rich harvests of blood , plunder and scalps for the wild myrmidons ot the tierce Apache king- But HO much for Cochiso. In July , 1S74 , a band of marauding Apaches stampeded a lot of government stock at' Fort Larnod , on the Huni river. Gen eral Scholleld was in command of the department then and ordered immedi ate pursuit , and a troop _ of cavalry under Captain Ualston I will call him by that name started after the bold red skins , guided by a Mojave scout , known to the soldiers as Hassabotch. For two days they rode hard , unre mittingly almoat , and yet it was a long distance to the Chiricahuas , but from the numerous indications , Captain Hal- bton knew that the ponies of the Indians were sorely jaded and he was confident of overhauling them somewhere upon the broad desert of the Gila. If such were not the case the only alternative for them was to leave the dangerous territory in all haste , ere Cochiso could marshal his faithful braves. To bo hemmed In amidst the grim Chirica- huis by the Apaches meant nothing short of total annihilation to thu valiant troop. At last the Gila desert was reached , and expecting to shortly overhaul the enemy , the cavalry , with Captain Ital- bton and TIas.sobotch at their head , btruck boldly out upon the arid waste. About noonday they reached a stunted chaparral of scraggy cactus , acacia and creosote , and drawing rein , were &lowly jogging around it. when suddenly they were brought to a halt. Away to the southward a bo.ly of mounted men were seen approaching. They wore Indiana there was no dis puting Hint point , but whether Ajwolios , or H war party of KUHO other Homadio tribe , hostile to the Apaches , and not the government , Ilosbobotoh as yet could not determine. Ho could see their stellated lanco-hcads glistun- ini ; in the sun.shinu , their feathered crests rising and falling like the waves of thu ocean , and their long hair and gaudy raiment lltiuuing in the summer breeze , , They rode promiscuously , following the lead of a single warrior , who , when ho reached a point several hundred yards from the motionless and statues que llgures of the cavalrymen , uttered the well-known Chiricauuu about of war. war.With the ringing alarm cry of his nation Hansabotch unslung his carbine , and Hlanding almost eroet in his stir rups , and without waiting for u com mand to tire , sent a ball among the ad vancing throng. A prolonged shrioic came from the Apache party , and a riderless mustang , kicking up his heels and snorting wildly , dashed from out the line as his master writhed in his doath-throcs un the dcbuit sands. Of course the result was a pitched Imttlo , and to abbreviate , it is not nec essary to state that the cavalry were routed with heavy losses. The Apaches seemed to spring out of tlio ground , and had thu soldier * dared contend with them longer their fate would luu-o boon total annihilation. Ae it was , some ton or twelve were killed , and Captain Ralston , a private soldier , named Vorys , and Hassabotch , the Mojave , were taken prisoners. Captain Ualston was knocked from his liorsu by n rlllo ball Unit struck him in the sldo , producing , however , hut a slight wound. Ho made no resistance when the Chiricahuas ran upon him.

They had essayed to escape , but both their horses were shot from under them , and for a full half hour they kept the fierce Apaches pIT. The Chiricahuas were in a delirium of excitement , and dismounting , it seemed as if nothing short of tearing the helpless Mojave and the soldier limb from limb would allay their terri ble animosity. However , the chieftain , no less a personage than Cochiso him self , ordered IB consultation , which ended with the foreseen result they wore to suffer instant death to bo burned to a crisp , then and there ! Captain Ralston , bound hond and foot , was moved to a convenient place near these terrible scones , and was compelled to witness them to their close. Ho said that it would be impossible for him to convoy a suitable idea of the demoniac ccstacy with which Cochlso's edict was received by his ferocious and vindictive followers. The desert air was made to resound with their unearthly yells and shouts of savage joyj and in loss than half an hour from the capture , two short black stakes wore driven lirmly in the sands , and Iliiasabotch and Vorys stripped of all clothing , were fastened securely to them with thongs of buffalo hi do. Then , for a brief spdco of time , every Apache was busy gathering the dead cactus and acacia stalks , which abounded plentifully there , never rest ing until huge piles were heaped about their naked victims. After thia had all boon Cochise gave that peculiar shrill war scream of his people , and the Apaches nourishing their guns , knives and tom ahawks , began their torture dance. Uravo after brave fell Into the whirling multitude , until the entire war party was numbered in its dizzy ma/.os. "The spectacle , " said Captain Ital&ton , "was one of wildest terror. The fiendish countenances of those infuriated and maddeuud beings receiving additional ferocity from the appalling discord in which they mingled their unholy voices. "Poor Vorys , ho screamed in frantio horror , prayed and bogged them to spare his life , then to shoot him , for a while , but finally his voice died away in a despairing moan and I doubt whether ho was ever conscious after that. , "Suddenly Cbohl&o gave a single , Hhort whoop , that rang above all the deafening clamor , and caused an imme diate cessation of the horrid orirics of his warriors. Stoopingho deftly lighted the piles heaped about the forms of Vorys and the red scout , who at this moment began to chant the weird and chilling death song of his nation. 'Greedily the yellow llamos began to creep up through the Interstices of the cactus stalks toward their * prey , who stood seemingly as unmoved as. images carved from Btone , Voryfl insensible , I believe , to the torments , and the Mojave heroically chanting in lugubrious tones the song that told ho know tiiat there was no escape from death. "It was indeed a horrible spectacle thu flroH growing brighter and fiercer and throwing the shadows of the half- naked Apaches in grotesque shapes far over the desert , as they leaped and danced and screamed in wildest delight and exultation around their Buffering captives , "That lonely sjxit upon the great desert of the Gila appeared like some ungodly arena or pandemonium , whore the attendants of Satan had assembled to perform their wicked and infernal ritod.

" "Homo discharged loads of powder into his naked llcsh , as they did also into Vorys , who , in all probability , had been scared to death by this tinie as ho never uttered a bound or miulo a move , and they left him for Iltibsuboloh. They would snatch up the burning cactus stalks and apply them to his logs , arms , face and brciibt , and in a , few moments liis whole form was black and blistered in the most sickening manner , and yet , despite this unutterable excruciation , the Mojave never 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 an hour , and IlaabU- botch and Vorys wore burned out of all semblance of humanity. "Vorys was certainly dead long before that relief came to the Mojave , but bin nerves llnally lost their sensibility , and ho no longer shrunk from the fire brands applied to his body. "But at last his indomitable spirit succumbed , and with a piteous moan ho sank to the earth , amoiisr the abhes and glowing omboM of his funeral pyre. Then as if the demon of htides wore re joicing over the brutal dead , the Apnuhcs renewed their dissonant clamor , and again began their devilish antics about the dying warrior.

She otibily induced people to back her , particularly rich women whom she could somehow fascinate.

" For Mrs. Blaine is a vocal phenomenon. It is not very uncommon to see a man able to biug a falsetto soprano , every mitibtrel com pany has ono or more , but a woman able to sing a true tenor is very uncom mon , and Mrs. Jtlaiiic can do it and do it well. She is handsome , too ; tall , blonde , well made , and with a certain dnsh and gallantry of manner that would go well with a male part , and would beyond a doubt attract. But one of her managers and backers said shrewdly : "There is no sense in playing the ace when you've got the king aud queen in your hand , The tenor voice and the masculine dress arc nil very well in their turn , but what's the use of throwing away the value of the sym pathy justly duo her bucauso of that young soapcirr.ico's brutality to her ?

And that's very well for the present. 1'orhaps she doesn't consider it , but it's true nevertheless , that when she wtiops on the stage the audience will remember that .she i a mother of nineteen and a mother abandoned by her natural protector , and they'll weep with her. That's worth a lot of money. When that is over , why it will bo full time to work up to the use of her per sonal and vocal advantages.

One ol their number was chosen to make the presentation , mid ho wont out on the great Htngo with a blacking-box on his back and the big pouoy in hl hand. The bow he gave with the bouquet made Miss I'ixley laugh , but hho didn't forgot to make her usual request of her small ndmiror , a kiss.

Philadelphia PI-OHS : I have been par ticularly pleased to find that American audience have comu to see us , have an- plaudud us , and then have come again to see us , despite the fact that we have olfored them no elaborate stage decora tions or mounting * . Our scenery has boon of the simplest , or costumes sim ply such'as have helped to portray more fully the characters represented. I think the tendency to ever elaboration of scenery and over gorgcousnesa of costuming is. from what I hear , as ap parent in thiH country as on the other sldo of the Atlantic , and it is a tendency which I consider contains an element of danger for the drama. Not that f would comitjul a return to the ruilo simplicity of earlier generations in this respect far from it , I con siilcr that historical correctnos- of C05'"tnos ' is " "on nn part of a character , that harmoniously pain toil scenery ib always an ad vantage. to the actors , but I think the danger lies intho _ destroying of the proper rela tionship between the sccnorv and stagu ' mounting and the acting. 'The latter is essential , all else is subordinate. Nowadays 1 am afraid there Is a tend ency to sue ) i lice the actor to his sur roundings ; ho is merely Ubed as a foil to beautiful scenery or as : i lay liguro on which lovely costumes can be ex hibited , and I was not a little afraid that when wo appeared with our com monplace stage settings our audiences would find something lacking. They might bo pleased with our acting , but they would demand .something in addi tion. Luckily I found my fears chimer ical , and 1 feel and my comrades feel that such oconiiuins as wo have earned have buon bestowed on us as actors , and we value thorn as such more highly than any poor words of mine will ox- press. as a Stauo fjovor.
