TIE JUBILEE SINGERs.-The nine students,
five girls and four young men, from the Fisk
university at Nashville, Tennessee, known as the
Jubilee singers" attracted large audience at
the OLD South church last evening. Mr.. George
L. White, treasurer Of the university, explained
the object Of the present tour through the states
He said there were many of these universities
for colored people at the south, supported in
part by the American missionary association.
The buildings occupied by Fisk university are
the temporary barracks erected by the govern
ment for hospital purposes, but they are now
almost unfit for use, and the sum of $4,000 is
required to build suitable accommodations for
the 500 students now members of the institution.
The missionary association, in justice to other
portions of the field, do not feel able to make
the necessary appropriation, so special fund
must be raised. 1t was thought for time that
perhaps the university would have to be given
up, but after some hesitation and careful thought
the plan Of giving a series of concerts through
uu1 tuS GUILTY was HlOplcu. LUIS was ABOUT
eight months ago.
For some time the concerts failed TO gain the
pccuniary success they merited, and the receipts
barely kept up with the expenditures. Upon
reaching New York, however, their fortunes
changed, and since that time they have met with
fattering success in every place they have Wis
lied Fourteen thousand dollars have already
been raised for the cause. The selections last
evening were entirely made up of sacred music,
but not the sacred music which is usually heard
in our churches. They sang the old plantation
songs, such as they used to sing when they were
slaves, and when their religion was their only
source of comfort. The music was quaint and
startling, and the voices of the singers, rich full
and melodious, blended finely together. The
singing was thoroughly enjoyed by all persons
present, and it is to be hoped that the concerts
in Mechanics hail, on this and tomorrow even
ngs, will be fully attended The cause is good
one, and the entertainment given will be fully
worth the price Of the tickets.
