LIVE FOR PURPOSE. secret of
all success in life, of all greatness, nay,
all happiness, is to live for purpose.
There are many persons always busy who
yet have no great object in view. They
fritter away their energies on hundred
things, and yet never accomplish anything
because never giving their attention to
only one thing. They like butterflies, fit
from spot to spot, never gaining wealth,
while the ant, who keeps to cgtain cir
cult around her hole, lays up Stores for
winter comforts. Such persons are
doomed to be dissatisfied in the end, If
they are not sooner, for they find in the
race of life they have been passed by all
who had a purpose. 1t is not only the
positive drones, therefore, but the busy
idle, that make blunder of life for the
want of purpose.

THE CITY.
Important CustomhOuse roy
ton.

ton.
We are informed that Col. L. @. McNairy
offers his admirably located and wei known
property, the old Postoffice corner, to the
Government for the site Of the proposed
new Customhouse in exchange for the lot
opposite, owned by tie Government The
Colonel proposes, as We learn, an even ex-
change. The lot offered by Col McNairy
contains 1854 feet front on Cherry street
and It's feet fronting on Church, the two
most eligible, central and populons streets
in the city. Aside from the advantages Of
an elevated, central and attractive location,
convenient to all, the Dimensions
of the grounds are amply sufficient
and larger, as we understand, than
the proposed new building. InasmHch
as the only objection hitherto urged to the
present Government lot has been that it is
too small, it would seem that when lot
sufficiently large and equally as well, if not
better located, is offered In even exchange
on the corner opposite, all difficulties would
be obviated and all objections removed. II
seems clear that the old Postcffice corner,
the property offered by Col. McNairy, is,
taking all things into consideration, the
very best location in the city for the Gus
tomhouse; the best as regards the interest
of the Government, the people Of the city
and State, and the country generally.
Those having the matter in hand have
been, as we have understood the surround
ings, all the while adverse to having the
building erected on an obscure or incon-
venient site, and have asseverated a.
their chief fears and regrets, that
lot Of tho required dimensions cen
trally located could not be procured in
even exchange or with the proceeds Of the
present lot. Under the proposition Of
Col. McNairy these fears and regrets
are removed and if, as we understand it
has, the proposition has really been made,
occurs to Us that the Government has Of
fered her precisely what she advertised
for, and precisely what the people would
like to see her possessed of, for purposes
of erecting the building indicated Under
this proposition, at least, the Government
can no longer urge her inability to procure
an eligible site as an excuse for delaying
operations in the commencement of the
building. The proposition is reasonable
one and we doubt not but that it will re-
ceive the favorable considerations it de-
sarvag

GROW, CHAPMAN, CROW-ITS
ORIGIN

In the spring of 1880 the IIst1GnG
Democrat was issued by Alexander +.
Morrison in indianapolis, and it was con
tinued under various proprietOrships until
1S41. During the Presidential election
year of 1910, campaign paper was IS
sued from the same office, called the
Constitution, edited by George Patterson.
During this year Patterson wrote letter
to a leading Democrat of Greenfield, Han
cock county, in which he communicated
some important piece of election Eews to
his correspondent, concluding his letter by
using this expression:
EsTeD Chapman to crow" The Chapman
referred to was Joseph Chapman, prom
inent Democrat of that village, who died
afterward in Mexico during the war. The
Wings rot hold of the letter, and it was
published first in the Journal and Spirit
of ,Seventy-sir, in Indianapolis, and af-
terward by all the Wing papers in the
West, until the words, ''Tell Chapman to
crow" got to be bye-wOrd. This was
the origin of the phrase which the Chap
mans subsequently used, and to great adj
vantage, on many occasions, by turning it
on the enemy at every Democratic victo-
ry, and which is supposed to have origin
