1852 Mr.. Buchanan was made minister
to the court of st. James, she &C
companied him abroad and presided
over his London home with the dignity
and-grace that was eminentiy charac-
teristic of her maturer years. She was
received at the English court with

last year, the coronation festivities, be-
ing especially invited by King Edward.
The marriage of Harriet Lane and Mr.
Henry Elliott Johnston of Baltimore

gagement, Miss Lane being unwilling
to leave her uncle, who. in his old age,
became more and more dependent
upon her companionship and care.
The great sorrows of her life following
the death of her uncle were the deaths
of her husband and their two young
sons. Her married life was spent

eminent on the coast of Maine. 1t was
two or three years ago that Repre-
sentative Littlefield was Instrumental
in securing an appropriation OF SlV,-
Coo for such an institution and eventu-
ally it was decided to locate this sta
ton at Boothbay HarbOr. Then Fish
Commissioner Bowers decided that
$10,0 goo more was Imperative for such a
hatchery as the government ought to
have but some memb ars of Congress
fought the proposition tenaciously.
Finally at the last session of Congress
$4,000 additional was voted. New
Commissioner Bowers has secured the
land and all the necessary appur-
tenances. The delay was long in Sc
curing perfect title. That work was
followed by the purchase of an $4,000
house on d property adjoining that hrst
acquired, for which Commissioner,
Bowers has paid $4,000. He regards it
as Il splendid bargain and will use the
house as a residence for the superin-
tendent of the station. Just at present
he has got one of the government arch
fleets working on the plans and speci-
ficati0ns and has given instructions
that everything must be ready to adj
vertise for bids for the construction of
the hatchery by July Is. If everything
goes we'll the hatchery may be ready
for operations by next spring. Ulti-
mately Boothbay Harbor will become
one of the most important points along
the Atlantic coast for the work of the
Fish Commission of the United States.
The Maine coast is regarded as posi-
sessing ideal conditions for propaga-
ton of both cod and Holsters. There
fore it is Mr. Bowers dream to have
a cod hatchery at Boothbay Harbor
along with the lobster hatchery. In
due season he will secure sufficient
money from Congress for the purpose.
Quite a force of men will be employed
