The third concert of the Hampton students
wac given last night at 5tenwsy Hall 1t was curious
to mark tile deep sympathy Of the crowded and cult
waited audience with rude and almost equally
rude brought by these young freed people out Of
the land Of bondage The "reminiscences OF the dark ana
days Of Slavery seemed 10 touch singer and listener
alike. The pathos Of these wild hymns, with their BUR
den OF sorrow and their brightness Of faith and hope
went home to every heart. For the songs OF ths
interesting company Of students not the weak
dittes of burnt-cork minstrels. they the
ordinary Of the concert-room which we can hear
at any time. They genuine slave songs, produced
nobody knows how, among the plantation cabins ana
oamp-meetings. Their words almost invariably OF
a religious character. sometimes simple, and even
beautiful sometimes grotesque. Jesus II represented
aboard de Gospel train,' which carries rich and poor
alike FOR the fare. The ship comes sailing iu

remarkable circumstance when we remember thAt II ls
the production Of an untutored people.
The performance of the Hampton Students is very
similar in kind 10 that Of the Jubilee Singers whom we
noticed at length weeks ago. II IS less
polished less artistic in every way, but we suspect
that II is genuine. II retains soWe
very characteristic rOuShness both in the
notation of the songs and in the Of singing
which the Jubilee band had refined away. These Hamp-
ton people consequently rather more interesting as
sample OF slave life. while the young folks from the FISK
University are more attractive musicians. Among
the selections last night the most remarkable were
