[ For the Philadelphia Dally Evening Bnltctln.l A HINDOO LE6EBD. BY JOHN QUILL. There was a Hindoo being onco, on India’s coral strand, Who had some forty suitors for her ooffee-colored hand. Her father was a Brahmin of aristocratic caste, Who much internal revenue In dry goods had amassed. . These lovers thought It would bo nice the Hindoo maid to wed, And spend the income comfortably when her papa was dead. But she turned up her nose at them—a very pretty pug— Because clandestinely she loved a promising . young Thug.. - This Thug in his profession might be called a rising man; He’d strangled ninety men tho year to practice he began. But the maiden’s cruel father had no taste for art at all, ■ So he foolishly disliked the Thug and wouldn’t let him call. But eho loved him ail the more, as is invariably the case, And fed she met him dally at a certain trystlng place, Hand In hand, amld.the verdant fields they inno cently strayed; Now culling flowers,now strangling little children as they played. And this Thug one afternoon he kissed the maid and said, “It really seems to me, my dear, quite time that we should wed. And as your guardians to me so strenuously ob ject, ■ ’Twonld be as well to kill them; I can do it I ex pect” Then said this gentle maiden, with a sweet, con fiding smile: "I go for cutting of them up in most effectual style. Bnt as my marriage simply on my papa’s death depends, Why, just for fun we’ll murder all my relatives and friends.”- • The Thug procured a hatchet, and the maiden got a knife, And they cut and slashed the Brahmin till he was bereft of life. Then they seized her loving mother, though she desperately fought, And crunched her aged bones beneath the Car of Juggernaut. With the consecrated lasso, thrown with admira ble skill, They swiftly roped her brother In, more easily to kill. Her sister’s fair young form was hooked upon the holy swing, And flying round nn til she died, she screamed like everything. Tho maiden jabbed the knife into the colored coachman’s brain; And stabbed her Uncle William and her Aunt Matilda Jane. » The Thug, he steeped his hatchet in the chamber maiden's gore, And with a skewer pinned the cook against the cellar door. The maiden chopped her grandpa up in little, tiny bits, And scared her grandma so, she died in epileptic fits. The dry-nurse with the clothes-line was serenely strangled, while They toEsed the little baby to the sacred croco dile. And when the job was over, said the maiden to the Thng: “You’d better have a hole within the cemetery dng; And let the undertaker take extraordinary pains To decently Inter this lot of mangled-up re mains.” The usual amount of tears were at the funeral shed, And then they to the temple went in order to be wed. The priests that day had missionary for the sacrifice; They cooked him with the eracklin on—with gravy, brown and nice. Tho Chief Priest asked the maiden, when the eer vice he began, If her papa bad said she might annex this here young man. - “Oh! no,” said she, “my loving wish he foolishly withstood, So him and all the family we butchered In cold blood.’ ’ “Yon shock me !” said the > pious priest, “your conduct makes me sad. You never learned in Sunday-school to be so aw ful bad. I’ve told you often, whon you killed a person anywhere, To hand him over to. that old nine-headed idol there.” “The great Vishnu Is suffering for victims every day, And here yon go, and cut them up, and throw them all away! Extravagance is sinful; I must really put it down— I’ve half a mind to pull the string and make the Idol frown.” “I shall punish you with rigor; bo I order that you two, instead of getting married shall severest penance do.” Then on a piece ofpaperdid he scribble once or twice,- And gave it to them as they left with tear drops In their eyes. The Thug read the instructions and burst Into scalding tears, And said “This paper realizes my unpleasant fears; Upon my word, my sweetest one, it really chills my blood, . I’ve got to suffocate you In the Ganges holy mud," And so he calmly led her down unto the river’s bank, ' . And like a stone into the cold, religious slime she sank. And there she stuck the livelong day, and all the \ following night, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Until an alligator came and ate her at a bite. The Thug he felt exceeding hurt at her untimely fate, • But his, though not so dreadfol, was not nice at any rate. The priest, In his fierce anger, had condemned him, it appears, ’ ■ To stand alone upon one leg, for thirty-seven years. The moral dearly pointed oat by this distressing , talc, Jb one that every maiden should remember with out fall. To - slaughter all your household is a mieersbl* plan, Because your pa objects to your annexing a young man. . ■ TXXX NATIONAX. SOBirETZENi’JBST. [CorrrajMdenee of the PhOade.

The magnificent steamer Great Republic arrived at our landing about 12 o'clock night before last, and between 1 and 2 o'clock a human life was to ken on board that boat under circumstances which will send a thrill of horror through the heart of every one reading the testimony elicited at the coroner’s lnquestjWnlch was of several hours dura tion, all the persons upon the boat being exam ined whose evidence could have any bearing upon the case. While on-her way from New Orleans to St. Louis oufixjf the cabin boys, or rather the texas tender,who was detailed by the steward to attend to the texas, named Lawrence Glover, refused to scrub, for reasons of his own, whlch the steward considered not good, and he was therefore hand cuffed and placed In the baggage-room. Henry Anderson, another, cabin boy, was ■lncensed at the usage of Glover, made remarks to the effect that the crew ought to quit if the boy was not released, and spoSe to the Captain about It, who refused to act in the matter, and some of the cabin crew went to the baggage rpotn ana took; the prisoner out, but no violence was : used. Afterwards both Anderson and, Glover were placed In Irons and confined in the bag gage-room, where they were. on tbe arrival of the. Great ~. Bopub* lie at tbe St Louis landing. After her arrival, between tbe hours stated! Anderson was shot through the forehead and killed. .It would ap pear irom the evidence that Captain Donaldson* the porter, and the boy, Lawrence .Glover, were, In the baggage room at the time of the killing. Captain Barr, one of the clerks, waaeltherlnslde or mat ontside the baggage room—the evidence differs as to his exact locality.- Glover escaped and told his story at the police station, and offi cers were sent to arrest the. captain, who, upon their arrival, was not on board, he having gone up into the city. Search waa made, and about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Officers Gpodky and Darlington met. and arrested him on Cherry • street, coming to the boat. Capt. D. denied all knowledge of the hilling. . These are the circumstances in brief. A terri ble murder has been committed, but it Is not onr province to .prejudice the case by Indulging in personal comments. Capt W. H. Donaldson Is a young man—per hapa thirty-five years of age—but Is remarkably well known, and.'wo believe, much liked on the Western waters for his gentlemanly and generous deportment He superintended the building of tbo Great Republic, and has been in command since her launch.

Victor for Pole onine Her Brotbet-Hor Paw Ule- CiicniiMtancts of tile Oflme-Bb citing Scenes in Court* Mrs. Sarah Victor, who has been on trial at Cleveland for several dayß past,for poisoning her brother, William Parqnett, was on Tuesday found «of murder In the first degree. Parquett >en a soldier, and had Insured his life in favor of Mrs. Victor, for $2,300. Early in. 1867 he went to Cleveland, from Euclid, Ohio, where be has been working, and stopped with hlB sister. Soon after he was taken Bick. and died February 4 1867. Suspicion having been excited as to the cause of his death, the remains were exhumed about a year after bis burial, and arsenic found in his stomach. It Is well known that this poi son checks decay, hence there was no difficulty in d'seovering its presence. Tho father of the murderess and her victim was an ignorant Frenchman named Parqnett, usually called “Old Pocket-”—The. daughter waa early taken into the service of respectable families, but, though possessing considerable talent, be came very extravagant and finally vicious. The evidence of her guilt seemed conclusive, and was so considered by the jury. .The Leader thus de scribes the closing scene of the trial: At about 5 o’clock the doors of the court-room wero opened and liie took his Bollt.lt was not long before the room was densely crowded again. Every one was in almost painful anxiety to hear the verdict. There seemed to be exceedingly little desire for conversation, and an almost death-like silence prevailed. All eyes were tnrned upon Mrs. Victor. She sat alone at the table where she and the counsel of both sides were accustomed to sit. Both elbows ‘were upon the table, and her face was covered with both hands. For tsn minutes the anxiety of the waiting company was oppressive. What an age that interval must have seemed to the prisoner! Suddenly she raised her head and began to sneak in a delirious manner, Bomewhat as follows: “She willoome forward be fore they bring in the verdict—she will tell the troth—she must—she knows that lam Innocent —oh, Libby, do,for God’s sake—she will—lknow ehe will do com© in—she knows they’re out— eho will come—ahe will tell the truth—she must tell the truth.” , . . . Sheriff Nicola stepped to her side and gave her some water, but she continued to moan and mut ter In an indistinct voice. She leaned against Mr Nicola and pressed her head with her hands, trembllng in a violent manner. Some spirit was pnt to her month, and after partaking of a little she leaned her. head forward- on the table and bnried it In her arms. At the came moment a man in the crowd fainted and was carried .Into L 45, the Sheriff, standing at his desk, an nounced, “May it please yonr Eonor, the jury have agreed upon a verdict.” « . • The Judge responded, “ Let them.come In.” Messrs. Castle and Cofflnberry, of the defence, came in about that lime and took seats by the side of Mrs. Victor. For ten minutes the sus pense was dreadful.. Mrs. Victor remained mo tionless, seemingly unconscious. At 6.25 o clock the Jury entered, headed by Sheriff Nicola, and took their seats. They had been In session just five hours. When all were In their plases. the Judge said: 1 ‘Let the jury be called.” The .Clerk then called the jury roll, and as each .man an swered to.hls name the Sheriff called tho number. Judge Foote then inquired, “ Have the jury agreed upon a verdict?” . . „ „ “We have, your Honor,” answered tho fore m?‘I Whal Is the verdict of tho jnry.” . . Mr. Charleß H. Babcock, foreman of the jury, arose and answered: “Wo find the defendant guilty of mnrdcr In the first degree, as found In the indictment.” . 3 3 The Judge then asked of the defence if they desired the jury to be polled- Mr. Cestlo re sponded: “No, your Honor, wq have no reason to suppose that anything maybe gained by it. The same waa asked of toe prosecuting attorney, and a negative answer given. After consulta tion, however, Mr. Castle stated that, on toe whole, the defence was Inclined to ask It. . During this whole proceeding, Mrs. Victor ieaned upon toe table as though lifeless. After the crowd left toe court-room, Mrs. Victor began to mutter and afterward to epoak londor in tne samo strain as on previous occasions, calling upon her sister to do sundry promises and several times H?* miserable man.’ She was at length taken by two deputy sheriffs and conducted to thojoil, ap parently unconscious of her motions and talking as she went.
