SECRETARY LAMAR
Tenders the President His Resignation.
Considerable Explanation that Might
Have Been Omitted
WAsHISGTON, Jan. s.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s.
Secretary Lamar yesterday rendered to
the President his resignation as secretary of
the interior and was accepted. The follow
ing correspondence passed:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
WAsHINGToS, Jan. I.
To the President When, some months
ago, you invited me to accept the vacant
judgeship in the supreme court you expressed
the wish that as the court was not in session
/ should postpone the resignation of my pres
ent office until the meeting of Congress al
lowed you to send my nomination to the Sem
ate, and that there were certain matters be-
fore the department inaugurated by me which
it was therefore desirable should close be-
fore leaving, as | would have been very re-
luctant to take place upon the bench until
my nomination had been confirmed by
the Senate | cheerfully consented to
your request. My nomination has now been
submitted to the Senate and recognizing both
their right and duty to subject my fitness to
a most critical examination, | would still
" ait in my present position for their decision.
But think am warranted in supposing that
the final decision may be delayed some time.
As you have at the same time nominated
both my successor in this department and
his successor IN the postofhce department,
this delay may to some extent at least en-
barass the administration and the public bus
mess in the departments mentioned. To
avoid such embarrassment, which is my duty to
YOU and TO the country, and to leave before
the Senate in its final judgment upon my
nomination, the sole question of my fitness
for the position, disassociated from any other
nomination, and unaffected by any other con-
| now respectfully ask you to
accept my resignation as Secretary of the
Interior which | hereby tender. In termi-
mating my relations with you as member of
your official family desire to express the CRATE.
full sense of obligation | am under to you
personally for the consideration and kindness
which has always characterized your treat
nent of me and for generous confidence and
support you have steadily given me in the
rying and arduous administration of this de-
| shall always be proud TO have been
associated with the honorable record you
will leave upon the page of your country's
history.
Sincerely and respectfully,

wATERvILLE.

A few days ago the sudden death Of J. G..
Soule, Esq, was announced and now it be-
comes our painful duty to announce the
death of another of our prominent and most
valued citizens, Charles r. Mitchell, who
died at his residence Saturday morning after
an illness of several months of consumption.
The esteem in which he was held by bis fel-
low citizens is well attested by the fact that
for five years he held position on our board
of selectmen. In 1881 's2 and '85 he was
second on the board, and in $50 and 81 he
was chairman, his term of Office expiring in
March Of last year. He performed his du-
ties in these positions, with marked ability
and faithfulness. He was about IS years Of
age at the time of his death.

Sincerely and respectfully,
l.. Q. c. LAMAR,
The President Accepts Lamar s Resigna-
ton
EXECUTIVE MANSION

WAsHINGToN, ID. u, Jan. I.
NV Dear Mr.. Lamar: When | determin-
ed to nominate you to n position upon the
bench of the Supreme Court the personal
qualification afforded by the tender to you of
so honorable and suitable a place, and the
satisfactory conviction that this important
executive duty would be performed well, led
me to almost forget that my action costs me
the loss of your conscientious aid and advice
in the cabinet councils, which / have for
nearly three years so much enjoyed and ap-
preciated. Your note of today forces me to
contemplate this contingency with the
most profound and sincere regret. But since
know the separation you now insist upon
arises from that conception of public duty
which has always so entirely guided your
conduct in our official relations, | am con-
strained to accept the resignation you tender,
hoping that it only anticipates your entrance
upon the discharge of higher and more con-
genial functions than those now relinquished.
What | have thus far written seems very in
formal indeed. | intended this because | am
sure the close confidence and relations of
positive affection which have grown up be-
tween us need no expression or interpreta-
ton, and | find it utterly impossible
for me to finish this note without
assuring you that the things which have
characterized your conduct and bearing in a
position from which you retire. All your
devotion to your country and your chief,
your self-sacrifce, care and solicitation for
the public interest the benefits of your official
service you have conferred upon your fellow
countrymen and all affection and kindness so
often exhibited toward me personally, I shall
constantly remember with tenderness and
gratitude.
Yours very sincerely,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

A Startling
Statement! !
Prof. JOSEPH RODES BUCHANAN,

In his able JoUHNL or Man, calls atten.
ton To the " tendency of modern civiliza-
tion toward insanity" and asserts that It
is Increasing throughout Christcndom,
and far more where the Influences of mod
ern civilization are most fully realized"
This Is "A si1nihceut and ominous thought.
The cause Is apparent. We are living at
railroad speed. Men are crowdng ten
days work into one, and turning night
into day. The flame of the mind and fire
of nerve force are being burned night and
day, with 10 halt for rccuperation, and
the result Is collapse OF the nervous
system, known as nervous prostration,
or n giving away of the mind. known as
insanity.
There never was n time when there
was such crying need for n thoroughly
scientific combination, consisting of the
finest nerve aud brain food that earth
produces. that will readily restore pros
tration of the nervous system, give
strength to the brain, overcome insomnia,
excitabilty, loss of memory, failing vital
ity, and general debility.
The great need has brought forth the
great specific remedy, which is the fruit
OF science, experience. and skill.
