Human Nature in Steerage.

To me the most noticeable thing
about the life in the steerage, says a
writer in the Century" was the ease
with which the yoke of civilization
was thrown off. IF conditions be favor
able, I opine that large proportion of
the steerage passengers go back to
their Darwinian ancestry about the
third day out Away from home, coun-
try and religious influences, unre-
strained by custom and conventional
ity, bound by no laws of action, and
separated from all that force of opin-
ION so strong in the world ashore, they
let themselves go, and allow their baser
natures to run riot
No sooner has the seasickness left
them than they growl and snarl over
their food like dogs, scrambling for the
choice pieces, and running off to their
bunks with them: they grow quarrel
some; their talk is lewd and insulting;
brute strength is in the ascendant; and,
without shame, both sexes show the an
imal side of their nature. But most
apparent and obnoxious are the filthy
The sea seems utterly to demoralize
them. Some Of them will remain fer
days in their berths, where, without
changing their clothes, they eat, sleep,
and are sick with the utmost impartial
ity and without the blessing of soap
and water Hence the steerage, as a
whole, the married quarters (wheTe
there were children) in particular, was
