The grand jury of the United States Circuit Court made its final report yes terday. The jury returned eighty-six true bills and made a special report in regard to the matter of Commissioner Riley who is located at Selma, Dallas County.

Plats Montjoy, Special Examiner for the Department of Jus tice, submitted for our investigation, one against MT. E. NJ. Riley. United States Commissioner. and one against MT. L. W.

ON JAPANESE FLORA.
LECTURE DELIVERED LAST MIG TIT
 JN HARMONIE HALL
By John Farquhar, of Boston Large Attendance of Lovers of Flowers and tn,dens-Lecture Was ProfuscIy Illus- trated With Colored Pictures.

An illustrated lecture on Japan was
 delivered last night in Harmonic hall
 by John Farquhar, of Boston. The lec-
 ture was given under the auspices or
 the New Haven County Historical so-
 ciety, the subject being "The Gardens'
 Fields and Woods of Japan"
 The hall was well filled with lovers Of
 flowers and gardens, who were by no
 means disappointed in the lecture
 which, with its wealth of information
 was profusely illustrated with colored pictures, accurately representing the many interesting phases of nature III this land Of flowers. The external ap- pearance of the country, with it's palms and pampas grass, it's cities on whose walls cling festoons of beautiful Jap anese ivy it's standing crops of indigo, which takes the dark green tint of spearmint and is fermented to attain it's commercial color; its rice fields, that grow without weeds and the deliberately cultivated tea gardens came in for full discussion, as we'll as the aspects Of wild nature and the picturesque ef- fects of the Japanese landscape garden ing Remark was made of the present achievements of landscape gardening in the parks of America, which owe much to the methods and originality Of Japanese artists.
 It is a remarkable fact that nearly all the rice raised in Japan is exported, the Japanese finding it cheaper to yield their high grade output to foreign con- sumption, and import for their own use the cheaper grades from China. Two varieties of rice have recently been dis covered that do not need subm srging at the planting season, hence a larger ter rltory can now be given up to this inn portant staple.
 The oldest tea gardens now in Japan were founded eight centuries ago by Buddhist priest. The highest grade teas are plucked from the early crop, the best tea selling at about SIP a pound. The best grades never get far ther than Russia, the principal part being consumed at home in the houses of the wealthy Japanese. The difference between green and black tea is that the former is at once fired after picking and the latter is first dried i'll the sun and allowed to ferment
