NOT THE RIGHT TIME
To Hold Meeting for Central Com
mittee Delegates.

mittee Delegates.
About $50 colored men assembled at Po-
tomac Hall, West Washington, last night,
in response TO purported call of the Sec
retary OF the Fourth District Republican
Club for the purpose of reorganization
and election Of delegates to the central
committee.
Mr. Charles F. Mosby, president of the
club, called the meeting to order, and
stated that the calling Of the meeting for
that evening was an error. The central
committee, at their meeting last week,
decided that all primaries were to be held
on Tuesday, Jan. 2, and notices were
published In the REPUBLICAN to that effect.
on President Clapp's attention being
called to the fact that Tuesday fell on the
third instead of the second. correction
had appeared IN the daily papers, over his
signature, legalizing only elections held on
Tuesday, Jan. 3, and he hoped no election
would be attempted, as the central CON-
mittee would annul the result.
Mr.. j. G. Carroll was elected sergeautat-
arms, and preserved good order. The way
in which he bounced one unruly politician
served as wholesome check on some OF
the turbulent citizens present.
The meeting adjourned without transact.
ing further business to meet this evening at
the feed store corner OF NJ and Twenty
eighth streets.

Boyd's New Directory.

The new Boyd's Directory for the year
1883 has just been issued aud is ready for
service. II is much larger in size when
compared the edition for last year, and
contains considerable more information.
Mr.. w. II. Boyd, who for years be been
engaged in this business, died before the
work was near completed, and his son, w.
A. Boyd, took up the task where the father
was compelled to lay It aside. The result
speaks well for the young man, aud reflects
credit upon his ability to discharge the
duties devolved upon him. In the late
issue the information is presented In much
better shape than heretofore, and attention
has been given to covering every important
point upon which information is likely to
be sought.

"The preservation, protection and de-
fence of the Union" Our fallen heroes
were actuated by one common, enthu-
siastic, intelligent, heaven-inspired pa
triotism and as the surviving soldiers
and citizens usually repeat their floral
pilgrimages to the Mecca of the dead
defenders of their country, there will
be growing appreciation of the pa
triotic spirit of our sacrificed "boys in
blue"
In conclusion Mr.. Dawson noticed
briefly the results achieved by the
Union soldiers. They crushed the re-
belliOn, but their work was not COM
pleted when Lee surrendered. For 20
years the nation has been gathering in
the harvests of that four years plough
ing and fertilizing and sowing. Thirty
years ago this country had bankrupt
treasury, a ruined credit, divided
territory and a questioned authority.
To day the national treasury is full, Its
credit as high as that of any other land
beneath the sun, its territory undivld-
ed, and above the palmetto and the
pine there floats one national ensign,
the stars and stripes. The reduction
of the national debt, increase In popu-
lation, ETC., were noted and the soldiers
of the grand army were encouraged to
continue the work of decorating the
graves of fallen comrades through all
the coming years.

The Cent at the South.

There could be no better evidence OF
the growth of thrift in the South than
the introduction of the cent. In the
old days nobody bothered with so small
thing as a cent, and the nickel was
the smallest change that passed cur
rent. Even to this day in Georgia the
"rules governing the transportation OF
passengers" laid down by the state
railroad commission, provide that
"when the passenger fare does not end
in 5 or 0, the nearest sum ending shall
be the fare. For example, for 81 cents
collect % cents for % cents collect 30
cents" But the South has gradually
discovered that it is not beneath its
dignity to look after the pennies, and
the commission has amended this rule
by providing that railroad companies
after May shall collect the exact mile
age if they can make the necessary
change, and in case they cannot, shall
not collect more than the next lowest
amount ending in 5 or O. This of
course makes it to the advantage of
the railroad companies to lay in a sup
ply of cents so they can make the exact
change, and once accustomed TO the pen
ny in paying railroad fare, the people
will soon learn to insist upon it in all
transactions.

The Boundary of Siberia.
George KEENAN, in the May Century.

George Re1lflGn an the May Century.
We sprang out of the tarantas and
saw, standing by the roadside, a square
pillar 10 Or II feet in hight, of stuc-
coed or plastered brick, bearing on one
side the coat of arms of the European
province of Perm, and on the other
that of the Asiatic province of TObOlsk
1t was the boundary post of Siberia
No other spot between st. Petersburg
and the Pacific is more full of painful
suggestions, and none has for the trav-
eler more melancholy interest than
the little opening in the forest where
stands this grief cOnsecrated pillar
Here hundreds of thousands of exiled
human beings-men, women and
children princes, mobiles and peasants
have hidden good-by forever to
friends, country and home. No other
boundary post in the world has wit
messed so much human suffering, OIL
been passed by such multitude OF
heart broken people. More than no.
200 exiles have travelled this road since
1873, and more than half million since
the beginning of the present century
AS the boundary post is situated about
halfway between the last European
and the first Siberian etape, it has al
ways been customary to allow exile
parties to stop here for rest and for a
last gOOd-by to home and country.
The Russian peasant, even when a
criminal, is deeply attached to his ma
tive land !; and heart-rending scenes
have been witnessed around the boun-
dairy pillar when such party, over
taken, perhaps, by frost and snow in
the early autumn, stopped here for the
last farewell. Some gave way to I'M
restrained grief; some cOmforted the
weeping some knelt and pressed their
faces to the loved soil of their native
country, and collected little earth to
take with them into exile; and few
pressed their lips to the European side
of the cold brick pillar, as if kissing
good-by forever to all that it symbol
lied. AT last the stern order "Stroisa!"
(''fOrm ranksp') from the under officer
of the convoy put an end to the rest
and the leave-taking, and at the word
"March !" the gray coated troop of ex-
lies and convicts crossed themselves
hastily all together, and, with a con-
fused jingling of chains and leg letters,
moved slowly away past the boundary
post into Siberia.
