THE liAUY.
BY CORA MAT.
"Did you everl The dear little thing! Isn't
ltabeaatyt What a lovely robe; and what a
magnificent blanket! And only ea thlg white
merino ooverlot so daintily embroidered ! Why
Nellie, how In the world did you ever got up
auch an elegant wardrobe T" exclaimed a bevy
of Indies who bad called to see the new baby
and lt young mother.
4,My fairy did It all."
"Your fairy; pray, where do you keep it? It
must be a wonderful one to perform such won
dors as these."
"And so It is a wonderful fairy; tireless, faith
ful, and true; relieving me of a grievous burden
of care, and doing Its work so deftly, so perfeot,
and complete In every respect, that I am lost In
BurprlBO and delight whenever I think of It."
By this time one of the ladles bad the baby In
her arms, and another, wliile professedly ad
miring the new comer, aud discussing the im
portant question as to whether the little pink
face, with Its bit of a tnrn-up nose and nonde
script eyes, resembled Its father and mother,
was in reality examining the dainty robe and
skirts, aud the elegant blanket, with its rich
embroidery, so different from anything she had
ever seen before, that she at last said: "You
have not yet told us the name of your fairy. I
know, of course, tnat this beautiful stitching
was done by a Sewing Machine, but I cannot
believe a machine was ever' roado that would
embroider like this."
"My fairy is a 'Orover A Baker Sewing Ma
chine,' and it did embroider all these things
and many more. Would you like to see
them ?"
The lady opened several drawers where baby's
Tvardrobe was arranged In charming order, and
the friends gathered around, as she took out
the;daluty garments, and showed the rows of
tiny tucks and rulll,n, and the beautiful em
broidery, all doue by lier wonderful fairy.
Their delight was unbounded. To be sure,
they bad often beard that the Urover 4 Baker
Machine would embroider, but they had never
happened to see any of i before, and had not
thought It could be anything very nice.
The baby was quite forgotten; but what baby
ever allowed people to ignore Its presence for
any length of time ? Not this one certainly; for
It very soon proved that It had langs and a
voice, and the ladles remembered that they had
already stayed too long, and made their adleux
to mother and child, and went away with their
ldeasof the capabilities of a Grover and Baker
Sewing Machine very materially improved.
The agent of thut machine bad several new
orders the next day, but he never knew thut
he owed them to "thai blessed baby."

Tiik Fink Akt.s. Connoisseurs Interested in
the pi caress of American art. will bo pleased to
learn that a picture oy J. K. Galvarj, of this city
Is now on exhibition at Earle's Gallery, Chen
nut street, above Eighth. It is a genre painting
of medium slzo, and has for subject the " Wood
land Spring," representing a lady seated on
a white horse, halting near a rivulet; two lit
tle children, who have apparently Just bauded
her a cup of water, regard the unusual visitor
of tbe woods with looks of awe and astonish
ment. The grouping and composition are most
pleasing, while tlie surrounding landscape Is
excellently rendered; but the chief charm of the
work is the arrangement of the light aud shade,
which is so beautifully treated that a fine effect
of ensemble is the result. We do not Intend to
enter into a long description of the beauties
that distinguish this particular painting, but
limit our remarks by advising all amateurs to
form tr.elr own opinion of this exquisite pro
duction from a personal examination.
Captain Arthur Pavjitkr. The name of
Paynter has been so associated with the "birth,
growth, and consumption" of oysters, "fat,
fresh, and Inviting," that the citizen desirous
of inquiring Into the history of his celebrated
bivalves must callat the depot, No. 228 South
street, under James E. Evans' gun store. Cap
tain Paynter has associated himself In business
with Mr. William Carson, long and favorably
known as a true sportsman, a (lrst-class caterer,
and one of those few Individuals who can
"keep a hotel." Their liars are supplied with
tbe choicest brands of liquors and cigars, while
the eating department can boast of all the
numerous luxuries that the markets of New

by paying a visit to Carson & Paynter's saloon,

The Renlletnnn then argued In substance as follows:
The only witness who contradicts the statement
that the prisoner whs seen at Twenty -iifih und Cal

keeper at Jlroad and Mhlppen streets, and he had
taken ten Klasses ol whisky. Now Is lie to be believed
In preteience to the sober, truthful old lady'.' Kvory
crime ol this kind must haven motive If It Is com
mitted by a sane man, but no motive has been proveil
In this ciise; It has not been shown that the prisoner
wnnted, or w as In need ol money, but on t he contrary
he spent money before he went to MaRllion's, and t no
notes he hml upon htm have not been Idniililled.
Moreover, the letters fntiml upon hi m, expressing
premeditation of suicide, his renent-d attempts to
take his own. lite, ;andjt lie testimony ol'tlie physicians,

WAsniNOTOK, May 9.
The Iudlan Commission.
General Gatley, President of the Indian Com
mission, now In the Northwest, Informs the
Commissioner of ludlan Affairs, under date or
April '2 of an interview with livont.v of tli
Brule and Oiindalla tribes or Sioux Indians,
near Kast Sedgwick, at the tunction of Lodge
Pole Creek and tbe south fork of the Platte.
The Indians had comedown from the North
to IteopotU of tne wny of hostilities, and their
party consisted of loi tv lodRtiS. They sav that
they mot a parly of Wliitieconjous, who told
Hu m Hint tbe whiles li l killed all tbe Hruloa
who lind none south. This story was told them
with the evident intention to incite the Brules
to hostility. These Sioux met the party who
stoic the mules from Kort Mitchell, a short dis
tance east lrom l.nrnmle. Tney were ouly six
In number, nnii were Wlnneeonjous.
These people represent the Sioux as greatly
divided in sentiment and widely sopar.it!,
part of them being near the mouth of Tongue
river, a tributary of the Yellowstone, part at
the mouth of tbe Yellowstone, and part maklne
their way over to the Missouri to keep outot
hostilities.
The Brules, they say, are mostly desirous of
com inn in. They also allege that tbe Indians
engaged in the massacre at Kort Phil. Kearney
were composed partly or liruies and Ogullallas,
but mostly of Wlnneeonjous, Cbeyennes, and
Arrauahoes, there being none or the Missouri
band present. Bed Leal, with a large party, was
on tbe way to Fort Laramie to make peace.
