The Jubilee Singers have had a re-
markable history. When the war open
ed most of them were slaves. At the
close Of the war some officers in General
Thomas army bought of the government
the hospital buildings, at Nashville, Tenn.
used by Gen. Thomas during the war
These they converted into school ioI
colored people. After six years use the
buildings which at first were very frail,
began to be unsafe. 1t was in this emer-
gency that a company of singers were or
ganized with view to raise money for
new buildings. This company continued
lis work in our own country, in England,
Scotland and Germany till it had raised
mostly 100000. Ten years have passed
away and now, on Thursday evening,
June 18th, six of the original company
with six others are to appear before us.

most cultivated of our country
