the Spirit World.
When the editor of the HER.
AID first came to Los An.
geles he was connected with
the Express. The first local article
he contributed to that paper was a
carefully prepared study Of Miss
Jennie Legs. That lady was then
lecturing in the Merced Theater.
1t SO happened that the article
which signalized our introduction
as a Los Angeles journalist-by
chance in the humble line of re-
porter-was our Characterization of
Miss Jennie Legs. 1t would prob.
ably be hard to antagonizs-shall
we use the strained term 'juxtapo-
sitionize" two more dissimilar
persons. We possess somewhat
obtrusive robustness of physique;
and, unless there is some aspect of
delicacy to arrest our attention and
rebuke our vigor, we are apt to be
emphatically materialistic. Miss
Legs was the most delicious ethe-
rialization of any conceivable social
theories that ever any poet dreamed
of. Our delicacy equals our
rudeness OF contour; and, although
the lecture of Miss Leys related to
the Intercourse of the sexes, in this
world and the next, we quickly
caught the fine and poetic interpre-
tation of the subject which COM
mended itself to this gifted lady's
mind. A purity only unfortunately
too ethereal for every day life per-
vaded her thoughts. We congrat-
ulate ourselves upon having, at the
time, conceded to this inimitable
lady the most gossamer delicacy of
thought and conception, while
doubling, through intellectual
sympathy, if the accidents of phys
ical life had granted her that per-
feet fusion which results from q
combination of poetical aud phi ysi-
cal aspirations.
10 our extreme surprise q new
aspect of relation which was con-
secrated to us by a specially deli
cate but purely soulful interest, was
developed yesterday. INN ediately
adjoining the Jewish Synagogue,
ON Fort street, is a house the gar.
den of which is kept with special
neatness and order. In the day.
time the blinds may be seen to be
partially drawn. The salient fea-
ture of the whole physical "outlay"
is, however, that the lawn in front
of the house is closely clipped, the
Gala lilies look unusually vigorous
and the ordinary flowers show the
refreshment which results from fire..
quent irrigation. In this garden
everything is apparently automat-
ic. Ifthe flowers are irrigated they
are irrigated before daylight, o:
perhaps by the dynamic influence
of the spirits.
In the spiritual circles of Los An
geles, we learn, Miss Jennie Leys is
supposed to inhabit this house, and
to be waiting for a naturalization.
This lady, If she is the performer
and believer Of the Merced Theater,
is of classic beauty. lacking nothing
but q vigorous digestion, and the
comeliness born of red corpuscles,
to interest the whole world in her
emotional history. AS we have
said, she is supposed to be waiting
for naturalization of some kind,
aud 10 have waited from Septem.
Der three years ago. There are
precious few people who would not
cheerfully consent to be material-
ICED for her benefit. But, recogniz-
ing her fastidiousness, and not de-
string to disturb her spiritual and
maidenly lucubrations, the grosser
part of the "many headed multi
tude" who pass the house which
adjoins the Jewish Synagogue, will
be struck by the neatness OF every
incident of the garden, which shows
the care this etherealiaed human
being still has in the affairs of
earth, though she may have to rise
long before daylight to indulge her
superhuman fancies.
