T,tr JrprLrE SfsoKhs The besi aud
mos: satisfactory entertainment in the
way OF musical minstrrlsy. was given
last evening in Gold Hill, at Miners
Union Hall. which, BY the way. 10 the
best hall for the purpose In the State.
And ii was given BY tho Tennessee
Jubilee Singers. composed OF ten per-
sons. male and female, colorcd. from
the midnight darkness Of the genuine
African to the rich cream msllowed
shade of tho attractive quadroon. They
were once slaves, but now they IRE free.
and they are going along through the
world giving little musieal episodes and
delineatious VI life on the old plantation,
Of Southern homo existence. and scenes
among the old camp meeting colored
folks. They sang those quaint and
genuine old jubilee religious songs and
hymns. such as were never i%mpersonat.
oil in this section. and which come home
to the heart Of any one who has ever
lived In the sunny South. aud also to
the appreciation Of all true lovers OF
good singing. Among them arc some
voices Of moro than ordinary
excellence. As for instance. tho
hno soprano Of Miss Lulu.
tho rich contralto. and the full aud
powerful basso profundo. But having
NC programme, we are unable to specify
more particularly. Those queer and
peculiarly quaint old songs were rem.
dersd with q hearty effect, never before
experienced here. aud the greatest
objection or fault We have to n
was in the rendition Of those old IA
miliar ballads. sold Folks at Home
and "Massa's in the Cold. Cold
Ground" both Of which were sung too
d~rawlingly slow altogether; too trying
to the voice ns well rs to the lively and
expectant musical appreciation OF
tho audience. Tho house was
well filled. and everybody 80
we'll pleased that Nil hands were grieved
to have the concert come to an end at
all. Bill Gibson sat on the front seat.
aud was the happisst man In the whole
house. IL be hasn't left wife, family
and all, aud followed the Jubilee folks
away, it's something strange. Yet
George Eslls is nearly ~ bad as Gibson
a. far a. that il concerned. We hope
the Jubilee singers will come To Gold
Hill again.

reasons for the popularity OF the
