 tic cloud effects and sun cts in this section 5ot Arizona, and the cIearness Of the at
 moSphere at times affords inc most start llns and marked Of mountain outlines. with sky background of the iovelicsr
 blue. Last Monday evening heavy cloud veil at sunset rested upon the grand
 Santa Rita peaks, stretching from the
 base to near tEe summits. Bet where the cloud terminated was a clear line drawn as it were The horizon of an elevated world, and the mountain peaks projecting above this presented the appearance Of enchant- led mountains floating through space and resting upon a cloudy Armament This was some seventy miles away, but the wonderful clearness of the atmosphere brought it almost to ones presence. IL was indeed a heavenly pano-
 rama, without money and without admis-
 sion price and reserved seats.

IT commenced raining on Friday night the 9th instant and poured down nicely flor several hours. Throughout Saturday the l0ih, it rained more or less at inter vals and on Sunday night the windows oi heaven were opened and the rain fell upon
 the just and the unjust in copious and
 long continued showers. sunday morn
 ing it was still raining, but through divine
 dispenSation, the aforesaid windows were closed in order 10 allow church-goerS a chance to attend their favorl;e sanctuaries. shortly after church hours the blessed
 rain again took hand and moistened
 things generally throughout the day and Sunday night. On Monday morning the skies were clear and have remained so since. Altogether it was one of the finest
 raiu,sils we ever saw in this vicinity. These rains and the warm sunny days preceding and succeeding them have car peted all the adjacent Iowlands with
 green and the grain Is growing thrinily.
 The trees are budding. the black birds are singing and all nature looks gay in this
 most beautiful spring weather.
