DEFINITION WANTED.
[to the editor, j Sir,— ln this morning’s “ Herald 1 ’ a reference is made to “ bur small-minded contemporaries.” Will you, sir, guide mo to an understanding? It seems to me, and a good many of my friends too, that it is rather “ small-minded ” to set yourself up as an oracle, a fountain of wisdom, a person of consequence, and a sort of sacred bulii of Brahma, and contemptible and hypocritical to pretend sometimes to be the champion of the people, when everybody knows it hates them like poison, and. would not give a poor man a living. I hate cant, and the “ Hearld” is full of it. — Yours, &c, ' Constant Beaded. Juno 21,1882.
