The colorsd people arc very much
pleased over the nomination made by
tue President Of II. V. Plumer as chap
lain OF the Ninth United States Cavalry.
Plumer is the first colored man over
appointed to the army, and the first
colored chaplain that the army has ever
had. The new chaplain is a young man
from Maryland, where he commenced
life as farm hand. The Ninth and
Tenth Cavalry are colored regiments,
with white officers. The Tenth is the
regiment that Lieut.. Flipper was as
signed to when he graduated from West
Point, but since his retirement there
has been no colored officer. There are
two colored cadets at West Point no W
both from Ohio, but neither will be
graduated for three years to come.

One of the most curious incidents in the
history of African slavery in America is the
life of Charles Stewart, slave owned by the
Johnsons, of Virginia, and afterwards by the
Porters of Louisiana. both noted as the
possessors of remarkable racing horses. He
was a born trainer and rider of horses, and
during his lifetime has ridden the winning
horse at many of the great races down
South. He could not write, and knew moth
ing about figures, but was nevertheless
trusted by his owners with the care and
transportation Of their stock, and the Gus
tody of bets and stakes, and he seems al
ways to have come out right. One of the
ladies Of the Porter family recently took
down the story of his life as told by him
self, and it viii be given, in his own negro
dialect, in the October Harpr's, with por-
trait of the old hero ofthe turf.
