Wonderful Mirages In Arizona.

sank into the b0som OF the tranquil

grotesqus elevations, which rapidly as
sumed the character Of fairy islets, with
lskelets within themselves; then, owing
to the unequal densities sad reiracting
powers of the adjacent strata Of air the
islets became transformed into castles,

tions and other rOcEy systems ot snchi-

arose an object which resembled mag

the requisite description OF gothic win

arches and door,wsys and many -colored
lamps. This last picture gave way to an
immense tube, which seemed TO BE- sus-
pended in the air until shivered into
almost infnitesimal fragments, each o.
which asumed a variety OF shapes, with
serrsted borders, and soon vanished or

Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, during his re-
cent visit 70 his orange grove plantation,
has been actively engaged in applying
10 practice q cherished theory - that
every country possesses suhcient ma
terisi Tor its own fences. He set 10 work
70 prove 1t by erecting for each side OF
mis- fepce sods three feet in width, d.
vided into five layers, At An angle Of 76
degrees. 1he soil from beneath the sod
exactly fills the space between the
erected sods, leaving a three-foot ditch
on each side. On top Of this sod and
soil fence, which il four and a half ieet
al the base and three feet high, be plants
cuttings OF tile Mccartney rose, which
are protected by q panel OF boards. This
Ience, while within the reach Of any
man VINO will shoulder his spade and
work, possesses the advantages OF an i'm
pAssable barrier, OF permsnence, OF not
needing repairs, OF drainage, and Of
being most beautiful ornament. Mr.
Jefferson will soon have enclosed sec
tion OF his plantation containing 26O0
&C e., and at one-hAif the cost OF stake
fence. Without being over-ssnguine s-
TO its rapid adoption, we feel safe In
saying that 1t Is the most economical
and useful fence in the southern states,
and destined TO come into general use
