A Man TO Handle Gently.

The intermediate passenger must be a
philosopher for once in his life. When that
little poppinjay of a steward speaks insult
ingly, and struts around with the air of a
bantam rooster, he must smile meekly and
swallow it (his chagrin, not the steward). J.
If it becomes necessary to approach that in
dividual with any complaint it must be
done with extreme Difference. Though you
may be an educated man, used to command,
it may be better to reverence his tight
fitting blue uniform and brass buttons. If
you can keep a secret, will tell you one.
A dollar bill, at the beginning of a voyage,
slipped quietly into the hand Of His Royal
Highness, with faint promise of possi-
bic repetition of the dose at the end OF the
voyage, will at least purchase his cIvility.
He is generally an EngIishman, small both
physically and mentally, but in his own ex-
alted opinion larger than the Cardiff Giant
or John L. Sullivan.
If you are sick don't send out for the doc
tor if you can possibly help it. Nine times
out of ten you Will be exasperated by his as
sumption of superiority. Ii YOU know any,
thing about medicine or physiology you
will probably be as efficient as he is. A
steamship doctor, with few exceptions, is an
unmitigated piece of pomposity L have
crossed the ocean on several lines, and have
never met but one physician who had the
slightest solicitude for any but frst-class
passengers. 1t is almost needless to saw
that be was an American and that the ship
was an American one. What with flirting
with the ladies in the saloon and dancing
attendance on the gentry and nobility" be
can spare but little civility for the inter-
mediate. If prayer is your habit, as it
should be, do not forget to ask the Lord to
remember the poor steerage passenger, for
the doctor gives him very little attention.

What the Intermediate Is.

Necessity is said to be the mother of in
vention, and may it not be added that COM
paratiVe poverty is sometimes the father. A
desire born of these parents prompted the
writer to try the intermediate passage" on
a steamship. A return ticket can be bought
for from 500 to Sos in New York City, and
possibly in Pittsburg. Say that the railroad
fare to New York and return costs S25, and
you have an expenditure of $50. That sum
will take you across the ocean and home
again in comparative comfort. But, says the
reader, what is the intermediate passage? The
accommodations compare favorably with
those on many of our river steamers if you
select the right line upon which to travel.
The rooms contain from two to eight berths,
and every necessity is provided in the shape
OF bed, covering, etc. There is a saloon or
dining room in which the meals are served.
Of course the cuisine of Delmonico is abb
sent, but any person in fair health can pull
through for a few days.
The bill offare is varied from day to day.
For the first three days it is possible that
instead of desiring to be fed he is apt to pos
sess an insane desire to feed the fishes and
seagulls, even after everything of solid
character has been thrown up. In this re-
spect the most economical passenger real
ICES Tor once, if he never did before that it
is more blessed to give than to receive.
When this ordeal has been passed and the
surplus bile has been parted with the nerves
OF the stomach resume their function, and
ravenous appetite is the result. The dinner
bell, which while ago turned the stomach
upside down, has now a musical sound. If
the service is not inviting you will be too
hungry to notice it. II the coffee has a
''shippy" taste, and if the odor of the "om-
nipresent bilge water offends the delicate
sensibilities you will let it pass. Oh, the
hunger of the convalescent sea-sick passen-
gerl His capacity for consuming food be-
comes prodigious, and it seems to him that
he could digest a marlinspike.

A great deal has been written about cross
ing the ocean. Descriptions of travel and
the experiences of the traveller always
seem to have charm for the American peo-
pie. We are a nation of tourists. Euro
peans have a notion that to be an American
implies the possession of riches and necessi-
tates a profigate expenditure of money.
But is it not fact that here and there an
American may be found who either does not
possess large fortune, or who, while in
good circumstances, has no particular desire
to keep up the national reputation for pleth-
oric purse and reckless and unnecessary eI-
penditure?
1t has been nv privilege to meet such
people, and as it is likely that have not
seen them all, may 1t not be of some interest
to the public to know that it is possible to
so from Pittsburg, visit the principal points
In England ard return home again at the
end OF two months Tor the sum of $500. which
sum covers all really necessary expenses. OF
course this feat cannot be accomplished un-
less the traveller knows all the ropes, keeps
his eyes wide open, and utiliZes all the self
assurance that he possesses. Some few years
ago the writer had an experience in this line
which enables him to throw little light
upon the subject.

The lean individual pursed up his lips as II
about to whistle looked at the sky sgain, shook
his head slowly. aud said:

"At any rate, sir, it amt raining now, is it?
Hey 2"
Another careful examination Of the frma-
n mt and the cautious remark:
" IL may be raining and it may not. You
can't always toll about these things"
Great Jehosaphat! Can't you see there
isn't cloud in the sky?"
"Um--likely enough. Likely enough. It

" certainly do"

Ho took plug Of tobacco from his pocket,
