Tho End Of n Useful Career at

Hiram W. NcColley, who died at his
home at Milford, Del on Wednesday, was
buried yesterday In the old NJ. Il. cemetery
In that town, the remains being laid along
side those OF the firlt Mrs. M,Colley. The
diseased had been In frsil health for sew

haRtened by the trip which he made to
Chicago TO attend the Republican National
Convention. He complained Of much
fatigue while at Chicago. He stopped there
With bis nephew. George p. Fisher. Jr..
Esq Young Fishers mother was q sister
of the deceased. The Milford Chronicle
says OF the deceased as follows;
"Gr hcColley moved TO Milford about
ten years ago and occupied the old McCol-
ley homestead aud his last years havs
been full OF peace while cariog for his large
farming interests scattered over two coun
ties OF Delaware and into the state Of

III seems like tautology to speak in this
community Of Hiram W. MeColley's per
sonai character. A wise advisor; staunch
to the extreme 10 friendship; earnest 10
desires for wise governments; q safe and
successful business man, and one Of the
best social entertainers Of the state, may
all be said Of him.
Although an earnest Republican all his
life, be never held but one office, and that
the state authorship. This he filled with
marked sbility. and it is said that the late
Judge Hall in passing upon case in oours
taken there during Mr.. McColley's term,
to save the state several hundreds OF dol
lars, took occasion TO write MIR. McColley
a personal letter acknowledging his ability
and integrity.
In local matters he was deeply interested,
and served half score of terms in the

for him whom he married the princess

This marriage will do much, It Is
thought to help the Napoloons. Their
humble origin Is never forgotten by tho
royalty of Europe, and every time thoy
ally themselves 60 a throne they step up
higher In the scale. The marriage of tho
Princess Letitia Bonaparto and her uncle
Is looked upon as important. Her amt Is
queen consort Of Portugal, and her
brother is Prince Victor, pretender to the
French empire.
King Humbert, her future brother-in-
law, has one child by his marriage with
his cousin, tho Princess Marguerite Of
Savoy, daughter Of the Duke Ferdinand

Recent analyses are said to have shown
that the various nostrums used for inn
parting a golden shade TO the hair all
depend for their action upon the decol-
orizing and corrosive influence of nascent
oxygen or nascent chlorine, the bases en-
ployed being peroxide of hydrogen, aqua
regia, and bronzers acid. The first Of the
bases is the least harmful, but this pro-
duces scalp sores and skin affections, and
in time turns the hair an unnatural gray.
The two acids powerfully attack both hair
and skin, bleaching and burning the for
mer to a gold color. staining the latter
like iodine, and giving rise to unpleasant
diseases Of both. The preparations all
lead to premature baldness.-ArSansaw
