THE JUBILEE SINGERs-That the large au-
dience gathered IN City Hall last evening to
listen to the Jubilee Singers of Fisk University
were delighted, is not overstating it. The high
encomiums of the public in this and other coun-
tries upon these sweet singers are quite in
place. Their music is music indeed. While
the performers are, some of them, little on
the miscegenation order, it is nevertheless true
that their color is sufficiently shady to warrant
the statement that the concert was by ''color-
ed" people. needing no preparation OF burnt
cork to recommend them to those who have
thought that such was essential to proper
representation of the African minstrel ele-
ment.
Quite number of pieces were loudly ap-
plauded, demanding repetitions; among them,
"'Tis Jordan's River, and must go across"
the trio "Oh, Restless Sea" and the medley.
Mr., Loudin has magnificent bass voice, as
was shown in his rendition of Crooked in the
Cradle Of the Deep" and on recall he sang
rolockng ha-ha-ha song, which gave great sat
isfaction.
Misses Porter and jackson have clear, ring
ing voices; in fact the entire troupe are worthy
of the praise that has been so copiously show
cred upon them.

PORTLAND BAND.-Fifty years ago the pres
emit month the Portland Band was organized.
During the half century of its existence, under
the lead of competent and efficient manage
ment, it has earned, and justly, a reputation
as wide as New England itself. Under the
management of its present leader, Mr.. Cole,
this band has been increased to 20 pieces,
under constant rehearsal and practice,
determined to maintain and even add
to its present completeness and efficiency
as musical organization. We understand
that subscription papers will at once be circula-
ted by the friends of this organization, with a
view of assisting it in procuring new and
complete uniform of which it is sadly in need,
in return for which the band will give once a
week during the summer evenings open air con-
certs. After the repeated endeavors made in
this direction, to give to the people generally
the pleasure of such concerts we believe our
public spirited citizens will gladly assist not
only the proposition, but at the same time
most worthy institution of the city.

The Postmaster General has directed
i'm compliance with the request of the
Postmaster of st. Louis, that re-
arrangement of the fast mail service
between New York and st. Louis and
the Southwest lie made prior to the
first proXimo, for all such matter as
naturally belongs to the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, and orders that it be
sent by that line instead Of the New

This new arrangement will save the
Department the expense of an unne-
cessarily long haul, and insure a
quicker delivery of the mail between
st. Louis and Pittsburg, to which
closed pouches are sent. 1t will also
prevent the delays now caused 10y the
lack of the railway postal car service
