MAKE NO MAN FEEL HIS INFE-
RIoRITY. Nothing is more insult
ing than to take pains to make a
man feel a mortifying inferioity in
knowledge, rank, fortune, act. In
the first, it is both i'll bred and i'll ma
tured and in the two latter articles
it is unjust, they not being in his
power. Good breeding and good
nature inclines us rather to raise
people than to lnortify and depress
them. Besides it is making our
selves SO many friends, instead of so
many nemies. A constant effort
to please is a most necessary ingre-
dientto the art of pleasing lit flatters
the self love of those to whom it is
shoWn;itengages and captivates more
than things of much greater impor-
tanee. Every man is in some meas
ure, obliged to discharge the social
duties but these intentions are vol
untary acts, the free will offerings of
good breeding and good nature !;
they are received, remembered and
returned as such. Women, in par
ticular, have right to them; and
any omission in that respects down.

THE UNDERGROUND FIRE IN SHEFFIELD
ENGLAND.

One of the mes. remarkable fires IS SAID
to be raging, underneath property OF con
siderable value, almost in the centre OF the
town of Sheffield, England. The scene OF
this singular occurrence is TRINITY orks'
Eyre street, where a firm carries on the
business of manufacturing cutlery and do
ING a general mercantile business. They
lot off a large portion of the premises to
other persons i'm the cutlery trade, and to
Mr.. Wilson glass grinder; also supply
ing their tenants with steam power. In
connection with the engine is an immense
boiler, so feet in length. For some time
past this boiler has been observed to be
gradually sinking. but this has not gone on
to so serious an extent as to warrant
careful investigation. The cause of the
subsistence, however, was discovered early
a few mornings since in most singular
manner. Mr.. Holden, the engineer in
charge of the machinery, raked his fires as
usual on the Saturday evening Q7th), but
on examining the boilers some time after
wards he found to his establishment, that
the withdrawal of the burning fuel had not
had the usual result. The boiler was full
of steam This discovery was the cause
of much bewilderment, and the extraor-
uiuaIy SCuVIduioil VI Stcdu IeDidiiCu d
mystery. Mr.. Mastin, builder, was sent
for, and the result of an examination made
by him and others was that layer of shale
in connection with a seam of coal extend
ing beneath the works, and passing imme-
diately below the boiler, was found to be
on fire. A number of men We're at once
set to work to remove the burning mater
ial, but it was found that the fire was no!
confined to that particular spot. The ex
cavators have been engaged in the cellar
below that portion of the building rente6
by Mr.. Wilson, and the result of their Ia
bors was that quantity of burning shalt
was removed. The seam of coal and shalt
extends beyond the works. passing under
meath an adjoining dwellinghouse occu
pied by Mr.. Holden, the engineer, and 10
the cottages on the, opposite side of Eyre
street, the inhabitants Of which state that
they have observed a peculiar eXhalation
from their cellars. The fire can only be
overcome by means of the spade Its
origin is at present a mystery. Ii must
have been raging for a long period posi-
bly, for some years. The boiler, of course,
cannot be used, and the operations ut the
mandatory, at which about 400 men are
employed have consequently been brought
to standstill Prom the Southampton

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-There were many at
tempts yesterday by the negroes in many parts
of the city to ride in the horsecars causing con-
siderable excitement, and the result is subject
of much anxious discussion, as there is reason
to apprehend serious trouble unless the matter
is wisely and firmly managed. In several in
stances negroes were elected from the cars, and
in one instance a negro was thrown from car
window. In another instance some newsboys
attacked an offending African, and were beating
him when the police nterfered; but the boys
mingled with the crowd and escaped. Crowds
gathered on each occasion, threatening riot.
More than once a car was given up to the ne
groes, and they rode away exulting, and amid
the waving of handkerchiefs and applause by
the spectators of their own race.
Ldter.-At meeting Of the street railroad
managers it was agreed that it was useless TO
try and eyade or resist the enforcement by the

The Susquehanna Decision.

ALBANY, May 15.-The official record of the
recent decision of the general term of the
supreme court, in the case of the people VS.. the
Albany and Susquehanna railroad, is as fol-
lows, which is essentially different from the
report telegraphed from New York Friday
night:
$50 much judgment as restraints further pros
ecutions of the actions mentioned lin the COM
plant and requires them to be discontinued
without costs, and so much said of judgments as
awards cost in favor the Ramsey board and
eight other defendants against the Fisk board
and so much as appoints a referee to ascertain
how much and to whom an extra allowance
should be made, is reversed, and all the rest of
the Judgment approved, without costs of appeal
to either party
'The decision of Judge Smth,-so far as it
holds that the pretended election of the Fisk d-
rectors, in September 1869, was fraudulent, il
legal and void, that the Ramsey board was le-
gally and fairly elected, that the Groesbeck
stock and the stock subscribed for by Ramsey
and others, and on which ten per cent was paid,
were valid,-is not reversed The only points
upon which it is reversed relate TO costs and en-
joining and dscontinuance of certain actions
pending when the suit of the people was brought.
Otherwise Judgment is approved and affirmed.
The election in 1870 was not contested, and the
decision does not in any way affect it,"

CHARLESTON, May 13.-In the taxpayers
convention last evening the committee of eleven
submitted long report of the financial condi-
ton of the state. The grand total of the debt
is fixed at Ss,S6O, 1OS The sum total of unsold
bonds is 81 100000. The report recommends
that the governor do not sell any more bonds at
less than eighty per cent, and that he negotiate
in New York fer the most economical arrange
ment for holding the aforementioned 81 800 900
pledged as collateral until eighty per cent. be-
come attainable. The committee further recon-
mended that when redeemed a portion of this
sum be applied to the payment of the fire loan
debt. The report says that it is quite reasonable
to expect from this exhibition of the exact con-
dition of the finances Of the state an immediate
and considerable advance. 1t appears TO the
committee thatithe various issues and sums of
bonds described have unquestionable legality
and force as obligations of the state. The COM
mittee believe that retrenchment may be eff
tected, and that it is the shortest avenue of es-
cape from our financial difficulties. Less than
S66O,O0O in gold will pay the interest on the
funded debt, and 81 100000 should pay the in
terest and all expenses.

Yellow Fever.
Terrible RnvaGes nt BuenOs Ayres-7OO
Deaths per Day, etc.

New YORK, May 14.-Private letters from
Buenos Ayres confirm the reported ravages of
the yellow fever there. The deaths average 700
per day. When the disease broke out there
were 100000 people in the city, and of these
100000 had fed to the country, where they were
encamped in tents or lodging as best they could
in the huts and hou jes Of the poor farmers. The
rainy season had Just set in and the suffering
was very great among the fugitiyes. Many of
them had left luxurious homes in such haste as
TO be unprovided with the most essential articles.
The statement that thousands of dead bodies
had been thrown into the river and devoured by
sharks is utterly false. There are no sharks in
the river Plata, on which the city of Buenos
Ayres is built.
Among the Americans resident in Buenos
Ayres, who have fallen victims to the fearful
disease, already mentioned in our Maine
items, is Edward Spring of Portland, Me.
Among the prominent natives who have died
are, D. Francisco Lopez Tones, editor of the
Discussion, who had previously seen his father,
sister and cousin die, and DR.. Jose Boyne Pc
rez, vino fell sacrifice to his zeal in behalf of the
sick. Contributions received at the Argentine
consulate here will be sent to the United States
minister at Buenos Ayres for distribution
through the local aid societies. The necessity
for pecuniary relief is very great, as many of
those who have died were heads of families, and
hundreds, if not thousands, have been left in
destitute circumstances. About 5000 have been
subscribed in this city.
