Some time ago a delegation Of Lou
isiana colored preachers called upon
President Harrison to lay before him
their alleged political grievances, and
to solicit office for certain colored poll-
t~icians. The President received them
very coldly !; told them that religion
and politics wouldn't mix; that they
had no business monkeying with polltl'
7cal affairs, and that they had better re-
turn to their homes and attend to their
religious affairs. AThis was a sharp but
well.deseryed rentuke.

At the close of his days work
Schall submitted his accounts, vouchers,
and cash, to Cashier Walker. who, finding
everything correct, told Schall to put the
money in the vault in the back part of the
room. Schall had already put on his over
coat when he entered the vault, and there,
safe from detection, it was but the work of
moment to transfer the money from the
cash boxes TO his own pocket. He left
the offices in an unconcerned man
