COLUMBUS CARAVFLS.
The Spanish Models OF The Santa Maria,
Pin'n and Nina Skip over the Crests
cithe Waves in ost Alarming
Manner

A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, SAYS: One
OF the United States sailors who was detain
ed TO cross the ocean in and of the carav,ls
sent 10 the Worlds Fair by Spait said tina;
bis only wonder is that Columbus ever sue
Coeded in getting over here at all. The YES.
sells were built as nearly as possible 10 con.
form TO the pictures and descriptions of the
published from time to time, but there were
no plans OF well authenticated models 10
aid in the calculations, SO the resulting ves.
sells may or may not be on the same lines
on wh!ch the originals were built.
Even the Santa Maria which is larger
than the other two, only succeeded in max
ing little more than % miles day against
only moderately fresh headwind and not
n particularly lllmpy sea, although she
mnde much more favorable showing with
a fTesher wind.
The accommodations aboard the Pinta
and Nina were only sufficient to call for a
detail Of two officers and eight sailors to act
Ms their crews during the ocean trip.
The men'oi-war towing them were ena-
hled in smooth water to make about eight
knots an hour.and even then the light, ,frail
craft would skip along from the crest Of
one wave to the tip of another in most
asloundingly lively manner.
When the sea would rise the scudding
aud pitching added TO the incessant rolling,
and made them more than ever uncomfort-
able and menacing To limbs and body. The
Americans were relieved when the carayels
were left behind ut Havana. Nobody envies
the Spanish officers the getting Of these yes
sels To New York, especially il there shou d
by any chance be heavy wind or sea op
the way up.

The Sharpshooters story.

During the winter OF 81 ny company
occupied two islands In the upper Poto-
mac, where thcy did constant picket
duty, having their posts and "dueouts~
along the entire south shore of the ISL
suds. The following incident occurred
a lev days after our return from that
wtaried forced march ~ seventeen miles

nate Colonel Baker of the California re-
giment nt Balls Bluff, where, ss you
know, we arrived too late 10 afford relief.
Our men were feeling very much dis.
pusted on their return over the uusuc-
cessful result Of their march, so that tho
sight OF rebel picket on the opposite
shore was the signal for the ,imults ueous
discharge Of dozen rifles, aud you may
lie sure they kept themselve, well on. oil
sight. We were equlppe with the En-
tield rife, warranted H. kill st 1000

advantage, and had few ca,usiue, to

shore to shore was about 900 Yards.
There had been for some tim. consider
abe rivalry among our men az TO who
was the best shot, and when oil duty
they were allowed to practice on range

One morning n Confederate officer,
evidently on his rounds inspecting his
picke,s, had stopped st bousc probably
100 yards back from the shore, and was
engaged in conversation with woman
standing on the porch. The First Lieu

X. g. Dun e. Co.'S weekly review Of trade

distribution of goods. The stringency often
seen abont April does not appear here nor
are other money markets more close; but
while imports greatly exceed exports, 1T is
not safe to calculate that out.goes of gold

the break in important speculations has its
hopeful side.
