Mr Seddoit told the Sydney people that in New Zealand the people manifested interest in their Parliament, and helped to send forward tile best men iu tho country.

Speaking at Sydney Mr Seddon said : New Zealanders in their own country very often differed materially ; but outside New Zealand there were no differences amongst them, and without wishing to cause heart burnings lie maintained that there was something noble in a national life and in the feeling that one would uphold the best traditions of his country or colony. The guiding star of their life in Now Zealand was that they

The lost boy was tongue-tied ; his eldest brother is blind; and his 17 year old sister, in one of the Sunday search expeditions, was thrown from her horse and killed.
