THE COLUMBUS MONUMENT.

The design is by Gaetano Russo. The
entire monument will be seventy seven
feet in height. Its terraced pedestal and
octagonal corner columns will be of the
handsome and durable red granite of Ba-
veno, against which the noble figure of
the Genius that crowns the second terrace
of the pedestal and the magnificent Alpine
eagle-the strongest, most fearless of all
the eagle family-that has alighted on the
other side at the back of the Genius, both
in marble, will be seen with great effect.
The graceful column is of the same red
granite as the pedestal, from which it is
separated by short terrace of Carrara
marble. The ornamental capital of the
column is of marble and the plain pedestal
that is crowned with the marble statue of
the great navigator is also of red granite.
The basso relieves below the Genius and
at its sides are of bronze; SO are the six
prows-three on each side the column
that are fac SMILES Of those of the adj
miral's small Spanish feet and the
anchors and central inscription GA
Cristofero Colombo "-forming a COM
mingling of color and material that is
very beautiful. The size of the basso re-
lievos is ten feet by two. The Genius is
ten feet four inches in height; the figure
of Columbus is twelve feet nine inches in
j., height and its feet are thirty-six inches
long.
The basso relieves represent the two
supreme moments in Columbus life, and
the ships, boats, banners and costumes
of each are most accurate representations
Of those the great navigator made his
toric. In the first Of these relieves CO.
lumbus, who has prayed and watched and
waited weary ages as it seemed to himself
and his companions, has started off in his
little boat that he may step upon land,
the announcement OF whose discovery
has just sent such thrill of joy and tri-
umph, not unmixed with establishment,
to his attendants, through the hearts of
every enc on board the three small ves-
sells, that had SO long and SO calamity
breasted the storms of the Atlantic.

and awe-stricken faces of the Indians
in SO strangely life-like manner that
we can almost hear them whispering " is

is there not some divinity in fearless
knowledge and heroic devotion?
In the quaint and quiet old Italian city
OF Genoa, says the Cosmopolitan, in mar
row by street, stands, fully identified and
venerated by the Inhabitants, the house
where Christopher Columbus passed his
boyhood, and which is reproduced in this
article.
The house is empty, belongs to the
State, and is boarded up SO that it cannot
be entered without scaling ladders.
1t seems originally to have been patch
on the end OF longer front, sort of in
ferior annex, and yet with considerable
accommodations. The street is SO mar
row and the ascent SO sharp that it is
never traversed by horses. The only
wheels that ever touched the pavements
are those of hand carts. The average OF
the height Of houses is about six times
that OF the width of the street,
