A Serene Old Age Passed Amid Scenes of Youthful Triumph. Mrs. Harriet I.ane Johnston, niece of President Buchanan and mistress of the White House during her uncle's residence there, died at Narragansett Pier. R. I., last night, after an illness i f nearly ten months. While a fatal ending of her disease was ex pected. her removal to the seaside over a month ago was resorted to as likely to pro long her life, or at least to make her last days more comfortable. With her when she died were her niece. Miss May Kennedy. Miss Speers and "other relatives, the former of whom has made her home with her aunt of recent years. The funeral will take place from the resi dence of her brother-in-law. Mr. Josiali L*e Johnston, 113 West Franklin street. Balti more, tomorrow (Sunday) morning. 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 orphan at seven years, with a comfortable fortun-, she was adopted by her bachelor uncle and spent her girlhood at Wheatland, his man sion, near Lancaster, Pa. A part of her school-girl life was spent at the George town Convent of the Visitation, at the period when her uncle was Secretary of State and when her over-Sunday visits were made at his home. When, in 18Ti2, Mr. Buchanan was made minister to the court of St. James, she accompanied him abroad and presided over his London home with the dignity and grace that was eminently characteristic of her maturer years Slio was received at the English court with great cordiality and at subsequent not.-ble events In the life of Queen Victoria an,I of the present sovereign was honored by in vitations. She attended last year the coro nation festivities, being especially invited by 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 renewed the pleasant intimacy between the English queen and the fair young American, which was marked on the part of the former with pleasant remembrances ftoin time to time. One of the interesting i vents recalled by Mrs. Johnston of her life in England was the ceremony at the I'ni versity of Oxford, when her uncle and Alfred Tennyson received the degrees of doctor of laws.

Dear Mr. Buchanan: Permit me to request that you will accept the accompanying portrait as a slight mark of my grateful recollection of the hospitable reception and agreeable visit at the White House on the occasion of my tour in the United States.

Her Beauty and Grace. Mrs. Johnston represented the grande dame of the old school.
