THE WHITE HOUSE MORTGAGE. Virginia Has . Claim of 019O.DOO on the
 Presidential Mansion.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Recent agita- ton about building @ new and moro ex- pensive Presidential mansion has Just brought to the surface an old mortgage on the White House that has been for gotten or lost sight of for good many years.
 MT. M. B. Harlow, secretary and treas urer of the Mount Vernon Avenue As sociation, is the man who brings for ward the claim. In an interview about the proposed now Executive Mansion. he says:
 II am glad to see the subject agitated, and hope it will be taken up and pushed by Congress. When 1t Is, our association, to whom the Virginia Leg islature has transferred it's claim against the Government for money borrowed by General Washington to build the pres- ent structure, will present that claim it commences the new. The claim. which is for s12O, 900, has never been denied by the Government, nor can 1t be, for we have the promise of the Gov ernment, made through Washington, to pay the money back to Virginia should 1t ever be able to do SO. We will not. perhaps, ask that tho claim be paid in money, but will probably suggest that Congress defray the expenses of building the proposed road to Mt. Yer non. If they agree, we will transfer the Virginia mortgage on the White House as her contribution to the project

A LITTLE LIGHT.

'Twns but Q little light she bore, While standing Ut the open door; litt.e light, Q feeble spark, And yet 1t Shone out through the dark With cheerful ray, md gleamed afar As brightly as tho polar star. A little light, gentle hint That falls upon the page of print, May clear the vision. and reveal The precious treasures doubts conceal, And guide us to m open door Where VIC new regions may explore. A little light dispels the gloom That gathers in the shadowed room Where want and sickness find their prey And night seems longer than the day, And hearts with many troubles cope Uncheered by one slight ray of hope. O! sore the necd that some must know While journeying through this vale of woo ] Dismayed, disheartened, gone astray, Caught in the th:clkets by the way, For lack of just little light To guide their wandering steps aright It may be little we can do To help another. 1t Is true; But better is little spark Of kindness. when the way Is dark. Than one should miss tho road to Heaven For lack of light we might have given.
