,3081,011 , December 28. Probably
you bavH not heard of the new firm
of Hull & Johnson. It is a very
youDR firm , and has not , as yet ,
made any reat stir even in Boston.
The senior partner is Mary Flor
ence Hull , a daughter of the very
Advanced radical who edits theBoa-
JMI Crucible. Mr. Hull's hobby is
the abolition of all marriage and di
vorce laws , leaving the citizen free
to make his or her domestic ar-
jjugements under a general law of
contracts ; and his preaching of this
new social gospel has borne fruit in
bio own household , it nowhere else
The junior partner is Horace Alvin
Johnson.
Tuesday evening , while the Cru
mble editor was entertaining some
radical friends at his house , 4 Bates
place , Mary and Horace came into
the room and banded him a paper ,
which Mary asked him to read
aloud. It proved to be a "business
and conjugal contract , " and ran as
p. Jo we :
We , whose names are hereunto
annexed , do , on this twenty-sixth
day of December , in the year one
thousand eight hundred and seven
ty-six of the Christian Era , enter
into a busiuess and conjugal con
tract , the firm to be known as Hull
& Johnson.
We regard ourselves as , in every
sense of the word , equal partners ,
promising to strive to treat each
other , under all circumstances , as
becomes &ucb. We promise that we
will not try in any other way tiiau
by advice or persuasion to control
the actions of each other.
Believing that neither Church nor
State have any business with our
affair ? , we propose to live our own
lives without reference to either ,
further than , if necessary , to give
security to the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts that our children ,
we be blessed with offspring , shall
be , at least , as veil cared for as are
a majority of those born in legal
wedlock.
We further contract that when
mutual love shall no longer justify
our conjugal union , we shall part ,
giving the State as little trouble in
courting as we have had in comin g
together.
The reading finished , Mary and
Horace asked any one in the com
pany who knew any just cause or
Impediment or words to that ef
fect to speak out then and there ,
or forever thereafter hold bis peace.
If the paper wasn't right , or if they
were not right , they wanted to
know it. io one offering any ob
jection , they stepped to the table and
signed the contract.
Mary and Horace are now keep
ing house at 30 Hudson street , and
Mr. Hull says they are "to all ap
pearance enjoying as much hap
piness as falls to people in this
fife. ' '
Oregon's Silver Mud.
Henry G. Hanks has suomitttd to
jthe Microscopical kSociety a report
on a sample of the silver-sprinkled
mud recently brought from Waseo
County , Oregon. The sample , on
being subjected to a fire as&ay , was
found tocoutiiin7.4perceut ot silver
or 184 pounds avoiidupoib to the
ton ol 2,000 pound * , being $3,468 to
the ion. Examined microscopically ,
it way found to contain iree silver ,
mixed with finely dividtd mud. A
jew minute crystals were found
with ihe silver when concentrated
by washing , some of which are very
interesting. The appearance of the
ullver does not indicate its source.
It ia not nliugs. It is not precipita
ted by copper from a solution , as it
is noi crystaiized. It has the appear
ance o ( having been introduced as
&n amalgan. , but no trace of mer
gury remains. 'Ihe wet mud loses
eighty per cent in drying , and dry
residue contains eignty-nme ounces
to tiie ton. Another sample baud-
led did not contain a truce of silver.
Mr. Hauks considers tuis mud a
remarkable substance. If the silver
has been added lor fraudlent pur
poses , \\hich he can scarcely doubt ,
ft i still remarkable , as the peibon
who prepared it has so skillfully
covered His tracks that he cannot
with certainty declare it a fraud.

the London Court Circular.
Torpedoes which explode by
clockwork , like the engine which
caused the Bremerhaveu explosion ,
are said to be favorite weapons in
the Russian navy. We found them
when our fleet was in the Baltic ,
and the vessels used to dredge for
them , bring them up , and destroy
them. It id stated that on one oc
casion one of these devilish inven
tions was fished up and placed en
the quarter deck 01 an English ship
of war. where the officers proceeded
to examine it with the usual reck
lessness of the English sailor. Im
agine the haste with which the in
spection was concluded when the
captain's coxswain , who baa been
bending over the machine , pulled
bis forelock and quietly obseived :
"Please your honors , the beggar's
tickin' , " meaning that the clock
work was still going , and that an
explosion might occur at any mo

Stanley In a New Role.
New York Suu.
The Jleraldhas news thai it ia the
intenliou ol tbe British govern
ment to arrest ihe pirate Stanley
upon his leturn from Africa. Stan
ley and his gang have been t-nguged
in plundering and butchering the
hapless natives of Central Africa ,
an-1 while doing so he has had the
impertinence to raise and oairy the
British flag. The British govern
ment certainly has the right to e y
that its flag shall not be uted by
this piratical adventurer as a cover
for his atrocious operations ; and it
it does not punish him for what he
has already done , it can prevent
him from making any similar at
tempts hereafter.

PURE BLOOD
,
Is the life , but bad blood is the abomlLa-
lion. From it and derangement of the kidneys - '
neys and urinary organs , come most of the
pains and aches and all diseases of tbe skin.
Dr. Green's King Cure is a remedy that is
intended to strike at the root of this trouble.
It acts as a diuretic evacuant in eases of
Dropsy , Gout , Gravel , and all diseases of
the Kidneys , while it acts on the stomach
as a tonic. It moderately accelerates th
circulation , gently encourages the action of
the bowels and powerfully augments the
urinary secretion purifies and cleanses the
blood , thus removing the cause of boils ,
carbuncles , scrofula and all eruptive and
cutaneous diseases ; reduces inflammatory ,
rheumatic and neuralgic pains and ache * ,
allays infimmation of thojkidneyaglands and
fibrous tisues and joints , softens and carries
off gravel and other calculus depos'ts of the
urinary organs ; cures Diabetes , Bright's
Kidney Disease , Lncorrhea , ( Female Weak
ness ) . Scrofula and all diseases arising from
disorder of the nriny orgaas and impure
state of the blood , and especially adapted to
female complaints. It is a safe and pleas
ant alterative , and cures without depleting
the strength of the organs or the tone of the
general system. In other countries its rep
utation was so high that U gained the title
of "King's Cure ? ' A daily use of it will in
most cases prevent , and in all eases mitigate
the attack of the diseases for which it is re
commended. It is beneficial for washing
rnptive discharges on the skin : but for run
ning sores , or severe pains fe the joints use

Lungs , but it cures by loosening the cough
and assisting the lungs and throat to throw
off the offending matter , which causes the
cough , thus scientifically making the cure
perfect. It at once alleviates the mjst dis
tressing cold on the lungs , soothes and allays
irritation , and breaks up Whooping Cough.
No better remedy can be found for Asthma ,
Bronchitis , Croup and all affections of the
Throat Lungs and Chest , and if continued
in use will subdue any tendency to Consump
tion , Lung and Typhoid Fever.
If the liver is torpid or the bowels consti
pated , a few doses of Dr. Green's Liver
Pills will assist nature. No better cathar
tic can be found.

BLACKBERRIES
Are one ef the most valuable of our na
tive fruits. Cooling and astringent , they
form when compounded and medicated the
very best and safest remedy known for
Diarrhea , Dysentery , Flux , and what is
commonly called the Summer Complaints.
These are always troublesome and sometimes
terribly at.l , especially amorg children ;
Many lives might be saved by firing them
prompt attention , and care. On the other
band , many lives are sacrificed by the use of
> reparations containing laudanum and other
piates. Dr. Green's Blackberry Cordial s
lust what it represents to be ; apure medica
ted compound containing nothing injurious
to.the system , yet prompt and effective to
check and cure these diseases in men and
women. Being made without alcohol , it is
the very best and safest remedy for children.
After this disease is checked tbe body is
generally left worn and debilitated. A darty
and moderate use of Dr. Green's Bitter
Tonic will revive and build it up , giving tone
and vigor to the whole system , with an in
creased and healthy appetite. If your drug
gist does not keep Dr. Green's Family medi
cines , send to the proprietors. E. T. Bart-
ruff-fc Co. . Burlington. Iowa , and they will
Bend yon trial samples , as well as circular
and testimonials.

This Atlas will be complete in the Sprint
of 1&76 , and will contain the finest series 01
Heps yet published. The Maps of the Uni
ted States will be the finest ever published ,
they will bo elaborate in detail , finely execu
ted , and will give a better idea of the ad
vancement of our Republic for 100 years than
can be given by any other publication. The
Maps of the old country will be from the
best authors , and will be found complete and
well executed.
Every map will be accompanied by a his
torial stetcn , giving , in a concise manner ,
such facts as will make them doubly worth
their cost.
No history o ? book of travel , not even the
daily newspaperman be read withontrthe aid
of an Atlas , and the want is not confined to
professional men and scholars , but is felt in
an equal degree by every reader. TUB HIS
TORICAL .ATLAS or THE WOKLD will not only
meet an universal nced.but will be practical
ly without a com ret i tor in its special field.
The descriptive matter , though popular in
tone , will be prepared in a truly scientific
spirit. The historical portion will be excep
tionally full , and the method of arranging
statistics will be remarkable.simple and con
venient. Each memHerof the family wil
find something in i. t > invite and pay pern
sal , ,
To make this Atlas still more comprehen
sive and useful , we shall add a concise histo
ry of the Surveys of the United States , and
a m&p af Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Wiscon
sin , and Michigan , showing the base , me
ridian. and , township lines , and the range
and township numbers. This matter will be
so comprehensive thai any one with ordinary
intelligence can learn to describe and deed
lands. The practical knowledge that can be
obtained from this one item in the Atlas
would have saved many a man his home ,
which has been lost through a wrong des
cription
