This establishment is deservedly popular with those requiring 1 anything in the way of house furnishing ; their being a very. ■ largo stock to select from in every department, whilst customers can confidently .rely upon receiving excellent value for their money. Lord Catfngton, Governor of New South , Wales, has, ever since his advent to the colony, exhibited a warm interest in Australian Federation, and he has made several speeches on that great subject well worthy of their lofty theme. The latest of these was delivered recently at the annual cominencoment of the Sydney University, and .it had about it the ring of true metal. He said that the most remarkable thing durfng the past twelve- months had been the steady growth of the Australian national sentiments Whatever temporary interests divided the various colonies, there wjis still hardly a man of any party who did not recognise the- fart that Australian unity must be the policy of the future. He was not one of those who believed that this sentiment wowld diminish their fi iendship with England. On the contrary, it ought to strengthen it. Australia was no longer a source of weakness to England, and the stronger she g»ew and the morepowerful she became tbe stronger should be the- union between her and the- parent sfcate v The Australian national sentiment meant self-reliance, the corner- stone- of Biitish union ; and at the same time it me.mt that the honr had anived when they should m> longer depend, as they hal been doing, o-n the last man out from England. Already they had their own statesmen, their own lawyers, doctors and soldiers. Their latest arrived military instructor was a native of New South Wales. Living as they did, on the fringe of a great continent, they on^bt in time to be able to produce for the assistance of the protection of their shores a united Australian fleet worthy to sail in company with those gallant men who for so many years had defended their shares.
