SOLDIERS BADLY TREATED.
Discomforts and lnconvenlences Borne
 by Uncle Sam's Men.

At Fort Wadsworth, on the Narrows of New York Bay, there is an olr masonry fortification, once useful for defense, but now obsolete. Its thick walls are pene- trated by arches of brickwork called casemates, not good enough for wine eel lars, as any pampered butler would com plain of rheumatism if he had to go into them for bottles; and yet soldiers live, eat, and sleep in these places.
 Stoves are kept burning all the year around, even in the hottest days of Au- gust for the sole purpose of keeping them dry; and if the fires go out any damp night, the shoes next morning may be covered with a green mold. At every fall of rain, the water which is absorbed by the grass and earth on top of the walls, runs down some of the inner walls and collects under and over the floors. and in one room. which has since been occupied, the water was so deep after O heavy rain that boxes foated about.
 Talk about something wrong with the army! Of course there is something wrongi To some extent, at least, it is discontent at the inhumanity of the pub lie, which will not rectify such unciv- ilized things at their very gateway-and they have existed for over a half a ctn- tury These brave soldiers-the bravest Tn Lno WOrlu, llueeu, TOT tneTo IS no uan- ger they will not face when necessary these men, in their visits to the city, see untold wealth spent on amusements and libraries.
