Indian Queens Longevity.

her grandniece, Mrs. William Vianen,
of New Westminster (herself 76 years
of age), the last of the royal line OF
the Chehalis Indians, in times long
past a strong nation occupying the
country contiguous to Harrison Lake,
a Montreal Herald's Victoria, B. c.,
correspondent says. Queen Jeanne was
reputedly 1872 years old at the time of
her death and until quite recently in
full possession of all her faculties. She
was a young woman 81 years of age
and the mother of five when Simon
Fraser made his historical expedition
in the course of which he discovered
the great river to which he gave his
name, and Queen Jeanic told with
pride of giving the strange white man

was vaguely and slowly. as mountain
peaks and hill-tops break through a
morning mist. This was not the only
result of the blow which his rival had
struck him lit had left him totally
blind.
Not until many weeks had passed
did Mantle succeed in really engaging
his patient in anything like a CONVEX
sation, and even after he had begun to
thaw a little under those tactful -
istrations of love, whenever the past
was even limited at the old recluse re-
lapsed instantly into silence.
Mantel might have been discouraged
had he not determined at all hazards
to enter into the secrets of this life,
and to pave the way for the forgive
ness of his friend. He therefore per-
sisted in his efforts, n n bright
dag. when the invalid vas feeling UNI

and found a place to work, and after

full Did man to accept the mysterious
charity. The m h strain OF
perpetual beggary was taken from
him, the physical ruin which the ter
rible blow OF the stone. the subsequent
Indebtedness had wrought, became
manifest. He experienced a sudden
relapse, and began to sink into an
ominous decline.
Even had he not known the secret
OF his sorrow. it would have soon be-
come plain to his acute and watchful
nurse that some hidden trouble was
gnawing at rs heart, for he was taci-
turn. distracted and sometimes mo-
rose. He manifested no curiosity as to
the benefactor upon whose charity ne
was living. but received the aims be-
slowed by that unknown hand unsolic-
tied. uncomprehended and unobserved.
His mind, aroused by the converse
tton Of his untiring nurse to the realf-
ties OF the present existence, would
sink back by a sort of irresistible
gravity into the realm of memory.
