An examination of the leases that have been made out to the various tenants shows that none of them has occupied the premises more than eight years, and ninny have had their leases canceled' In half that time. This record seems to show that the landlord is very particular. He always draws his loHBea to terminate on the, 4th ft March every four years, and when he inukes up his mind not to renew it the family may as well understand he will be waiting out on the front porch promptly at 12 o'clock on the day named, ready to set their trunk out In the street. It furnishes an Ins structive commentary on the of human felicity to see the slowly and sadly climb over the fence and take a hack for the depot while his successor trips gayly up the steps, puts bis suitcase down In the hall, kicks off his rubbers, tosses his hat over on the piuno and tells the bowing attendant to order him pork chops and hashed brown potatoes for dinner. As the former tenant drives off down the avenue he can hear his successor trying the piano and perhaps hears the dying squawk of the parrot as Its neck is wrung before It is thrown out the back door. . Twenty-sevepresidents have lived in the White House. If some of them had not scratched their names on the attic wall it would be difficult today to recall who hey were. One after another they have been ushered into the noble mansion with the Joyful acclaim of their fellow countrymen, only to make their lonely exit four years later through the cellar door, with no one to carry their grips to the street car, and with no record of accomplishment to leave behind save the faint marks ef their feet on the cabinet room table. Yet It is not doubted that ambitious Americans will continue to try to reach the White House. Although the present lease does not expire for two years several governors and senators have recently been observed examining the fence to see If 'e pickets have been greased since the last time an attempt was made to shin up them. It is customary to give four months' warning of the cancellation of a White House lease, from November to March, and until that time comes it Is believed the prospective tenants will not be able to obtain any definite assurance of favorable consideration.
