ABOUT THE MARINES ?
representative of the HERALD, in the course Of
his peregrinatiOns, met with very gentemanly'
officer attached to the marine barracks, Flushing
avenue and, In the course OF q conversation, made
q few pertinent inquiries touching the morale and
strength of the sea-going soldiers:-
"What Is the strength numerically, OF the marines
on this station at present ?" -
"Well, am not quite positive, but should Judge
1t to be about three hundred men,"
''This is popular station with the marine corps,
officers and men, is 1t notP
"Far from it; ours is a id bad station for the
men, who are always dissatisfied. For my part,
wish was elsewhere"
"Why, you astonish me; surely no part Of the
world offers greater inducements for the enjoy
ment Of leisure time, when OF duty for officer Or
man, than is to be found in these parts"
"rnat is all very well; but the men do not Ike
their commandant. We have lost during the past
from this station by desertion."
THAT is certainly pretty serious skedaddle,'
and costly one for Uncle Sam, Are many Of these
deserters taken back r
every few. The trouble lies in this way Colonel
Broom does not use his men properly. He will
promote man to day and strip him Of his newly
nedged honors tomorrow, just as the whim strikes
work about the Kitchen in menial capacities. Men
who enlist to do duty marines do not relish such
Judgment, is largely attributable the dissatisfaction
which has long existed"
"Where is the Colonel now ~
"He Is absent upon very pleasant duty-8
lucky man the Colonel, sir-he is making
tour of inspection among the State Prisons,
the government: He is pretty well cared for, at all
events and has nothing to complain Of:
The oicer yawned as he uttered the latter ejacu
lation and stretched his arms, and the writer wish
ing him adieu. took his departure meditating over
p0pularly, but not unfrequently enormously ac-
credited with being easily impressed with the truth
OF the most improbable occurrences. The credulity
OF this honorable branch Of the service is prOverbial
but 1t appears to be difficult task to make them
comprehend that the New York station is q good
one. Some people are never satisfied and sea-
going men will grOwl when "the wind Is head"
