It was neceesary, too, to instruct the publi as to best methods of thawing. Hβ pointed out that even the meat served at the banquet might have bees better treated. The retirement of Sir S. Griffiths from politics would be a very grave loss to Australia, and to tbe cause of federation. It would be easier to obtain judges than statesmen of tbe culture of Griffiths.
