establishments of white and of colored

"Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act we'll your part-there sll the honor lies.'
This is goo.l principle. rs we'll as good
poetry.
In noticing the clubs Of Columbia.
we are admonished not to omit mention
OF the Columbia Typographical Union-
the objects OF which are. "the mainte-
nance Of fair rate of wages, the en-
oouragement of good workmen. and thu
use OF every means which may tend to
The elevation Of printers in the social
scale OF lifo." Dependent, as editors
are, upon the friendly types, it does not
become us to be indifferent to the just
claims of the members Of tho old and
honorable craft of printing. According
to our experience. this class OF workers
in Columbia are intelligent, and, in the
main, well-toned, and worthy of their
important and exaoting business Oh,

"Oh, the laundering typesl No tongue can

While tyrants stink from their fearful sting:
They speak, and the price OF bread comes

And towards shrink from their stinging thong.
And the heel Is ground on the head Of wrong.
they speak in language bold and fair
And labor smiles, for its shield ia there;
They speak as tn oraoles never spake,
And man loves man for his manhoods sake.
but whether they speak in the voice Of song,
Or In deep-voiced thunder tremble along.
Or plead for the RIGHT, or rage in their wrath,
Or scourge the rogue on his darksOne path,
Their Voice hath ev er the GREATEST stress,
When it flows from the lips Of THE DAILY

Having. now, alluded to the advan-
tages in detail, we desire to allude briefly
to some Of the general attractions that
our city presents.
! Columbia was founded about the year
1856. In the year 1889, the public re-
cords in general were removed to the
new capital, and Columbia became the
capital of South Caroline. The louation,
as now appears, was a ajudioious one-cen-
trail and accessible. AS for the city
itself, the site selected was upon the
level plain near the Congaree, just be-
low the confluence of the Saluda and
Broad. The city, from the character of
the place, which is sloping on almost
every side, is susceptible OF easy and
thorough draining. AS to the character
of the soil, it is q mixture OF clay and
sand-the one predominating in one part
Of the city and the ether prevailing in
another. This gives good streets. The
rain water, not carried off by the drain
age, is readily absorbed, and we have no
clayey streets to mar the highways. even
amid the rains and frosts of mid-winter.
In addition to this, it may be remarked
that the drives in and about Columbia
are pleasant. The cemetery called
Elmwood-is beautifully located, near
the murmuring river that glides cheer
fully by the silent city Of the dead.
From the Arsenal Hill, in Columbia, a
fine view is obtained, not only of the
city, but also of the valley OF the Con-
garee; whilst in the distance may be seen
a glimpse of the high hills of the distant
Santee, where. in the revolutionary war,
Greene sought health and repose for his
wearied troops. Norris Sidney Park an
unattractivo place. It may be called
ono OF the lungs of the city. aud under
tasteful and judicious improvement, it
can be made an attractive city feature.
AS respects the climate of Columbia
and it's health-much the result OF its
olimate-onr medical men speak in the
highest terms, and our experience con-
firms their favorable verdict. Free from
malarious influences. and free also from
the sharp diseases OF the mountain
country, our city possesses the advantage
OF that mean between extremes. which
is commonly deemed desirable attain.
