Sketch of Her Life.Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston was born at

Mercersburg, Pa., _her mother being a sis¬ter of James Buchanan, afterward Presi¬dent of the United States. I^ft an orphanat seven years, with a comfortable fortun-,she was adopted by her bachelor uncle andspent her girlhood at Wheatland, his man¬

sion, near Lancaster, Pa. A part of herschool-girl life was spent at the George¬town Convent of the Visitation, at theperiod when her uncle was Secretary ofState and when her over-Sunday visits weremade at his home. When, in 18Ti2, Mr.Buchanan was made minister to the courtof St. James, she accompanied him abroadand presided over his London home withthe dignity and grace that was eminentlycharacteristic of her maturer years Sliowas received at the English court withgreat cordiality and at subsequent not.-bleevents In the life of Queen Victoria an,I ofthe present sovereign was honored by in¬vitations. She attended last year the coro¬nation festivities, being especially invitedby King Edward.

In the White House.During President Buchanan's residence in

the White House the Prince of Wales was

his guest for Ave days. This visit renewedthe pleasant intimacy between the Englishqueen and the fair young American,which was marked on the part of theformer with pleasant remembrances ftointime to time. One of the interesting i ventsrecalled by Mrs. Johnston of her life inEngland was the ceremony at the I'ni-versity of Oxford, when her uncle andAlfred Tennyson received the degrees ofdoctor of laws. The demonstration, alwaysboisterous on the part of the students, wason this occasion directed largelv towardsthe beautiful niece of the American min¬ister.

Her Marriage.The marriage of Harriet Lane and Mr.

Henry Elliott Johnston of Baltimore tookplace in lKbS, after a long engagement.Miss Lane being unwilling to leave heruncle, who. in his old age. became more

and more dependent upon her companion¬ship and care. The great sorrows of herlife following the death of her uncle werethe deaths of her husband and their twoyoung sons. Her married life was spentmostly In Baltimore.In historic old St. Paul's Church. Charles

and Saratoga streets. In that city, there is abeautiful memorial window on the northernside of the edifice which Mrs. Johnston hadplaced there in memory of her two sons.Besides this slie founded in the ChurchHome, on North Broadway, in their mem¬ory a free ward for children.Her home in Washington, after several

years of retirement and travel followingher loss of family, she came to this cityfor the winter season, subsequentlv buyingand remodeling the house at lsth and Istreets, which was her last residence.

Interesting Souvenirs.This house contained many Interesting

souvenirs of her career, and especially Inits connection with public life. On its wallsthere Is a portrait of the Prince of Wales,painted Just after the prince left the UnitedStates, and sent by him to President Bu¬chanan. Just under the portrait In blackIn a little black frame Is the letter whichthe prince sent with the portrait. The let¬ter was penned by his royal highness on theshores of Palestine, where lie was traveling11 reads:

JAFFA, March 20, 186°Dear Mr. Buchanan:Permit me to request that you will accept

the accompanying portrait as a slight markof my grateful recollection of the hospitablereception and agreeable visit at the WhiteHouse on the occasion of my tour in theUnited States.Believe me that the cordial welcome

which was then vouchsafed to me by theAmerican people, and by you as their chiefcan never be effaced from my memory

I venture to ask you at the same time toremember me kindly to Miss Lane, and be¬lieve me, dear Mr. Buchanan, yours verytruly- ALBERT EDWARD.

Her Beauty and Grace.Mrs. Johnston represented the grande

dame of the old school. As a girl, whenshe was presiding mistress of the WhiteHouse, her portraits gave evidence of herbeauty and grace. These comely attributesseemed to increase with her years andWashington society for the past ten yearswhenever she appeared in public has con¬tinuously expressed its admiration and re¬spect. Robed in black velvet, a favoritecostume, with her splendid diamonds andpearls, there were not often seen on galaoccasions at the White House a moredistinguished face and figure.
