A MEAN AoT.-The Hrdld, on Thurs
day evening last, was guilty of anOthe
of those acts of low-doVn infamy 70
the preparation of which it has of lat,
become quite notorious. In the effOr
to Islander several persons against whom
its manager seems TO bear luminosity
it made Captain +. j. Burns appear t
utter words against them of the mos
derogatory character. These persons
We're in each and every case on tbs mos,
friendly terms with the Captain, and t,
read IN a public print, AZ coming from
him. these personal insults, WAS to then
both painful and incomprehensible
Captain Burns Is gentleman in thu
completest sense of the word. and ht
could not be. and was not, guilty of 81
gross an outrage upon his friends a.
represented in the paper referred to
In fact, the reported occurrence had nc
| found alton whate Yer outside the weak
mind of its author. There never at any
tine WAS such an occurrence. or such a
conversation rs published. the entire
narration being manufactured out OF
whole cloth, to tickle the malavolence
of the auther. Captain Burns was Just
ly indignant at the preparation of such
an unwarranted outrage upon him, and
upon seeking an explanation therefor
WAS made the victim Of further insult and
injury. 1t may be fun now for the Her.
aid to traduce the dead aud defame the
living. but some of these days it will no,
| be. when some abused individual admin
listers the castigat,on the dirty dog SO
richly deserves.
