The mother was powerless to combat
thie grief, or to assuage it in any degree.
These sons had been her joy and com-

fell upon one of them for the first time,
she could do nothing to aid him to bear
joyfully, and gave every promise that
was asked. of her.

Captain Thomas Crape, with his wife,
sailed on May 28 from New Bedford for
London, in a schooner boat of 162 tons
burden, and the shortest boat in which
a passage across the Atlantic was ever
attempted. The boat was built after the
captain's own designs. It is 19.55 feet
on deck, 20 feet over all, length of keel
13- feet, extreme breadth 6.48 feet,
breadth inside of ceiling 6 feet, depth,

tively 13 and 15 feet, and each nine
feet across the foot, and can also hoist a
square sail wheu running before the wind
in a light breeze, or a staysail if on the

The boat's stock of provisions, water,
&c., will weigh something over 1,500
pounds, in addition to which she carries
500 pounds of iron ballast. She has not
made a trial trip, but if necessary for ad-
justment of ballast will .call at Wood's

As fast as her water 'kegs are emptied
they will be refille& with salt water to
keep the boat in trim. The provisions
are mostly canned goods, and the boat
carries a small kerosene stale, which
can be used on deck in good weather.
She has two compasses, a quadrant, a
supply of charts, and her medicine chest
consists of 25 vials and a vial of extract
of Golden Seal.
The tight little craft sailed off_ gayly,
3,000 people seeing her depart with
cheers, and „the yachts in the harbor
firing good-bye guns. Departing from
Chatham Lights, Captain Crapo will
steer due east to clear the southern edge
of the banks of Newfoundland, and avoid
the fogs there prevailing, and thence
will make a direct course for the English
Channel. He intends to call at Falmouth
on the Cornwall coast, to be reported,
and expects to make the run in 40 days.
Captain Crapo is 35 years old, a New
Bedford boy, who has been a sailor 20
years, and is a wiry man to look at, and
apparently capable of enduring a goo
deal of exposure. Mrs. Crapo is an
agreeable lady of 23, a daughter of

Legal Biblical Ignorance.
During the trial of the celebrated
Leavenworth baby case,in which two wo-
men claim the same child, one of the law-
yers, in the course‘of his remarks, point-
ed to the painting of 'Solomon ordering
the child to be severed In halves and di-
vided between the two women. His
scriptural knowledge being small, he al-
luded to Pilate instead of Solomon. The
opposing counsel, supposing he new all
about it, instantly jumped to his feet,
and called him a fool, and said that the -
order was by Cxsar and not Pilate. Af- '
ter a heated discussion they agreed to
leave it to the judge. His honor decided
that both the attorneys were talking
upon a subject foreign to their knowl-
edge, and pointing to the painting, said.
it was intended to represent Herod, and
not Pilate or Cser. The lawyers con-
sidered the matter settled and proceeded
with the case.
