Her success was instantaneous. She was

was studied by half the titled women Of Lon
don; her charms Of mind and person made a
decided impression on the queen herself, and
the fair young American was the recipient
OF many distinguished marks Of royal favor.
She was but IL years Of age at this time.
When but stolid boy the Prince Of Wales.
now fat and scant Of breath, was infatuated
with her, as he has often confessed
Indeed. the fondness Of the Prince Of Wales
for Americans dates from the time he first
knew Harriet Lane. The famous incident
concerning Miss Lanes presentation at sourt
made the Prince Of Wales, as well as his
mother, warm friends Of the young woman.
On that occasion the ladies of the diplomatic
corps had been marshaed in regular order by
the lord chamberlain. and were awaiting the
arrival Of royalty, when a very III bred
English woman, married TO a diplomat, de
liberatey took her place ahead Of the Ameri-
can minister's niece. Miss Lane quietly at
tracted the attention OF the lord chamberlain
He came up, and she explained that, while
for herself she was quite Indifferent 10 the
question OF precedence, as the niece Of the
American minister she declined to yield her
place.
The lord chamberlain promptly put the
snobbisn English woman back where she be
louged, and Miss Lanes position was estab
lshed for good. -
When Harriet Lane returned to America,
and shortly afterward became mistress OF the
White House, she was fully matured and
superb looking woman. She was a blonde
Her eyes were deep violet, and she was re
fined in toilet speech and manner. She
always avoided superhuous ornament in
dress. Her accomplishments were many. She
was a musician, painter, student aud accom-
plshed cOnverSatlonalist
The most interesting social event con
nected with the presidency of Buchanan vas
the visit OF the Prince of Wales and suite 10
" Washington in tho autumn of 1850. This
was the first occasion that an heir apparent
10 the English throne had visited tho capital
OF the lost colonies. Miss Lane did the
honors Of the White House in queeny fash
ion, and when the prince returned to Eng
land he sent her letter overlooking with
grateful sentiments toward her Tor her cor
dial welcome. The most interesting circun-
stance Of the visit was the presence of the
great grandson of George III standing with
bowed head before the tomb Of George
Washington, together with the president,
Miss Lane and large party Of statesmen
and ladies.
At the close OF his administration Blu
chanan aud his niece retired 10 Wheatland.
Here Miss Lanc remained until 1866, when
she was married to Mr. Henry L. Johnston,
a prominent Baltimore banker. The two
had first met at Bedford Springs, Pa, in the
golden days Of youth Her husband died
some years ago, as did also her two boys, and
since their deaths she has lived in the strict
est seclusion. She has now no near relatives.

One Of the coming men OF the Republican

Joseph @. Cannon, Of the Fifteenth Illinois
district, embracing the counties Of Cham

United States who has had a more regular
md normal growth than this now prominent
member OF the Illinois delegation He was
born May 2, 1896 near the historic battle
Geld Of Clifford Court House, in Guilford

among the Quakers. At an early age, how
ever, he was taken thence by bis parents TO

Removing 10 Vermilion county, lis, he
studied law, located at Danville, took to
politics naturally and became very ardent
Republican when that party was formed, as
his education had made him a strong OPP

parenthetcally that in every part OF the
western states the middle and higher class OF
emigrants from the old slave states, and es-
pecially the Quakers from North Carolina,
were the most ardent anti-slavery men. As
was said by one of their number in Indiana,
they were present when the Republican
party was born, assisted in forming 1t ana

Neither history nor tradition so back TO
time when Guilford county, n. G., was not

date Of the Meckenburg declaration of in

neers Of the upper western part Of the state
of North Carolina expressed their opposition
