Neither rumbling thunder nor furious dash of wind wor volleys of hail proclaim ed the advance of the marvelous midsum mer tempest. It came on silently, and the lightning blades Avert* doing their deadly work with the flash and silence of steel.. The area of thb storm covered less than a mils -md the altitude of the cloud could not have Ix’Cti more than half of that distinue. Once overhead the mighty cloud came to an ominous pause Iwfore pouring forth its varied forms of vengeance. Then the bolts began to rush through the air with the sibilant noise of «ky-roekets, and the attendant peals seenu’d to paralyze the very pulse and forever silenre the heart of the listener. One bolt descended close by, plowing in its vivid progress oblong gulfs in an ap ple orchard, as if digging graves for its pros{Mdi\c victims; mid durgig all this glare and dinjiin night bell rang ftirious ’v. ••H h; t ' tlp'Hoht ! -iO’oi’s uim mu h a night »»this.'

So deafening were the wild demon strations of nature that the messenger could hardly make himself understood, but 1 learned at length that the house of i Judge Hungerford had been struck and tiuit Miss Blanche Hungerford had been ’ dangerously prostrated by the shook, j 1 remembered Miss Blanche Hunger* [ ford, whom I had met at several social ; gatherings, as being very beautiful and j amiable and a beaming star in society. I found her unconscious, with the fam ’ ily grouped about her in tears. My thM thought was disfigurement. But she scoffed too HOperlAtively lovely for the blasting touch of lightning; but she was i safe from this drend physical evil. The blinding flash and terrific thunder peal ; had ov< rpowdreu her to unconsciousness. In his excitement the messenger had (made ah erroneous statement. Not the house but a stately elm had lx*e» struck and deft in twain. Mis* Blanche had just ti|Mmed the door to observe the dire i ful aspect of the hour when the bolt de s-ended and she fell senseless in the hall* i way. i The scene at the bedside was a strange ami sally impressive one. At its foot sat the venerable Judge Hungerford. Ex- I trviue age had impaired bis once brilliant ’ faculties. and he was now nearly an im ' beetle. At his ride stood Mrs. Hunger ! fold, a tall, m-v erv-faeed woman, wearing ' somfa r, green goggles, while from her • neck hung an ostentatious nodal, indi cating her membership of some reform j usso< intion. The iinpve-sion this remarkable woman made upon me is lifelong and unfading. The combination of artificial green eyes, a perfectly met and inflexible altitude, « narrow head, with aquiline nose, ami a certain imiraeribitble air of eager watch fuhu-ss called to my mind a hen eagle, erect on a crag, and I could compare her to not lung else. 1 was astonished to see in the mother of the iieauttful Blanche such an austere anti unattractive person. but my astonish ment subsided when I leanxal that she was my fair jvatrent’s 'tejwother, the » judge - ' wcottd Wife.

The bolt blasted a contiguous elm tre . and the tree was jierfegjtly and artistically photo graphed upon her arm.

OFFICE. Facts About the Development of a Great System. A Marvelous Increase in the Inventive Genius of the Country. • A AVashington letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: By* act of Ajiril 10, 1790, tiie first American patent system was founded. Thomas Jefferson inspired it, and may be said to have been the father of the American Patent Office. He took great pride in it, it is said, and gave per sonal consideration to every application that was made for a patent during the years between 1790 and 1793, while, the power of revision and rejection granted by that act remained in force. It is re lated that the granting of a jiatent w r as held to be in these early times quite an event in the history of the State Depart ment, -where the clerical part of the work was then performed. It is a matter of tradition, handed down from generation to geueration by those who love to speak of Mr. Jefferson and his virtues and eccentrkdties, that when an application for a patent Was made under the first act he would sum mon Mr. Henry Knox, of Alassachusetts, who was Secretary of War, and Mr. Ed mund Randolph, of Virginia, w’ho was Attorney-General, these officials being designated by the act, with the Secretary of State, a tribunal to examine the appli cation critically, scrutinizing each point of the sfiecilication and claims carefully and rigorously. The result of this examination was that during the first year a majority of the applications failed to pass the ordeal, ami only three patents were granted. In those days every step in the issuing of a patent was taken with great care and caution. Mr. Jefferson seeking always to ’mprc.ss upon the minds of his officers and the public that the granting of a . p itent was a matter of no ordinary im portance. The growth <>!' our jaitent sy-t in, its vast importance, its intimate eom.eution with, and direct influcucc upon the pfopeh; es -i e* de mand |that it shall deceive a degree bf at “ biitiok which it can not and will not re ceive Iphile it remains a merely subordi nate jiureau of the Interior Department. Thff first patent was granted July 31, 1790, to Samuel Hopkins for making pot and jieurl ashes. An examination of the 1 jaitents granted lietwecn 1790 and 1810 shows most surprisingly the germ of the • ideas which by subsequent improvements have been incorporated into an inventive system. By the act of 1830 a Board of Examiners was created. The official sys tem was not a very large one at that time. The Patent office wa created, but it was attached the Department of State. There w ere provided for the office, to be appointed by the Commissioner of Pa tents, with |iie approval of the Secretary of State, a Chief Clerk, an Examining Clerk, tiwee other clerks, a machinist and a messenger. That constituted in 18116 i the entire force of the Patent Office. In 1849 the office was disconnected from the Department of State and attached to the Department of the Interior, which was then cn’ated. The establishment of the Patent Office marked the commencement of the mar velous development of the* resources of the country which is the admiration and : wonder of the world, a development which challenges al! history for u parallel, and it is not too much to say that the un exampled progi es* has been not only de |x-ndent upon but has been conincident with the patent system of this country. Wt* have had fifty years of j;rogress, fifty years of invention applied to the every-day wants of life; fifty years of patent encouragement, and fifty years of a devekipmeut in wealth, ivsourecs, gran deur, culture, jxiwer, which is little short of miraculous. Population, production, business, wealth, comfort, culture, pow < er. grandeur, these have all kept step with the expansion of the inventive genius of this country, and this progress has las n made |a>«tsibl(* only by the inven tions of its citizens Women are among the army of inven tor*. The majority of applications filed by women for patents are for articles used in housekeeping, or for drt-sa or toilet. Some, however, display genius for me chanism. Several have invented sewing machines and others .sewing-machine at tachmenta. A great many applicartiotu have f>e<-n made for jaitents by -females the principles of which have alrciuiy lx*en patented. One woman has a patent for ; j an artificial stone composition, probably j fur building or paving purposes. One | ha- ixi-eived a patent for a disinfectant: one for preserving vgg«. Another, lOfdt iug to the comfort of her ciiildren per haps. Isas invented an ear-muff, for m hich she ha- been -uccessful in having \ a patent issued. A lady, who is possibly a dress-maker, ha- applied for and re | reived a parent for a hoo i-anti-eye. NUMBER 13. Mr. Gardiner, an official at the jratent office, said: “In round numbers there have been 334,000 patents issued. Os these, 22,000 were issued hist year, and of the 22.000 only about ninety were t<r women inventors. It is safe Io assume that there are only about sixty patents a< year issued to ladies.” Historic Rooms in Washington. Washington is full of interesting old rooms, writes a correspondent of the Chi cago If,one could hunt them all up and get their history it would make one of the most interesting little books to be had. 'Die room in which Henry Clay lived and died, at the National hotel, i« kept very much as it was when he occu pied it. There is an old-fashioned fire place in the room, with a soapstone top r and pillars surmounted with braAs orna ments, and the old-fashione<l andirons and fender are as they were the morning he died. The same paper is on the wail, and on the cracked window panes are written the names of a score of ]>eople who probably have long since died, as the dates opposite their names arc back in the'4os and. aOs. In the old capitol there is a peculiarly shaped room at the north of t he supreme court chamber, which was formerly the United States Senate chamber, which is famous for Kung the place when* Morse first successfully oper ated tlie telegraph. In this little room he had an operator whom he had trained himself, a young man named Sweisingrtr. The room is now a ban* anti-room to the supreme court chamber, and through it regularly every morning and afternoon the supreme court judges In their robes pass to the bench. It was over a line from this room to a little outdoor station at Bladensburg, five miles away, that Morse w as first able to transmit a message. The line was then being built on to Bal timore, and on the day that the Demo cratic Convention that nominated James K. Polk was being held this little room was tbc scene of great excitement. The Senators kept thronging in there, and the • doors wen* guarded to keep out the crow d <>f people outside, anxious to learn the work of the M ’J'.::! UGiam 1.. M. ny d / <-on.<- u candidate h>f the When the message came ov» r tlief that he <*oitM W' nominated, ' words were: “'Nb,' no, J will not it;” and Scnatois crowded about him,, trying to |X.-rsuade him to change his mind. Up stairs, over this nnun is a long, nan-ow, dimly lighted chatubef, which once was the finest room in the capitol. That was before the wings were built, and whi n the capital consisted of what is now little mere than the base of th® dome. This room was Jefferson Dasis’S' committee room and the hcailquartcrs of the Southern leaders in the Senate. On the third floor of the old National hotel, lookingout on Sixth street, is the in w hich John Wilkes Booth was making his temporary home at the time he com mitted the terrible < rime xvhich gives his name a place in history. It is a plain, ordinary room, which is seldom used by any guest who discovers its history. A Big Etk’s Fight for Lif®- A monster elk was sighted in the Wind River Mountains by a hunter, says the >alt Lake Tribune, and the hounds sent alwv him. A long chase of two hoars led down to the base of Sible .Mountain, ‘ of the loftiest of the range, up which * the monarch of the forest darted as hi# final refuge. The ascent was steep, but the hunter and his dogs followed. Soon the elk was brought Hi bay.
