,JMguar Kittens

From the San Francisco Chronlcls.l
 Abram Bateman, of Alameda has added to his collection pair of jagnar kittens, which were presented to him by P T. Bowling, one of the owners of the Placa de Plata mine, Whe captured the young brntes in an aben- donsd shaft of Fl Rozarie mine. in the State of Sonora, four miles south of the Arizona Ene. MT Bowling had often seen a large tiRrsss in advanced stage of pregnancy, pro wing in the vicinity of their camp and, determining to possess himself of her young, tracked her to her lair. After the kittens were born, however, their capture was 10 easy matter. for the mother never left home during the day and her nocturnal ramblings were as brisfsas possible. But one moon- light night she was at a distance from the den and Mir Bowling, accompanied by his brother, mounted their Aeetest horses visited the shaft and carried off the kittens, two in number, and then less than week old. Luckily for the adventurers they did not meet the mother eat on their way.
 The two kittens, which when captured had not yet gotten their eyes opon and were no larger than the two fists of man, were fed on milk at the camp until about two weeks ago, when MT. Bowling brought them up with him to this city and presented them to his friend. They are now eight weeks old and weigh 30 pounds apiece. Having been fond led and petted all theirIives, they are as tame and playful as domestic kittens and display
 
 at which time they are altogether unsp- proachable. They are kept confined in 8 cage in the backyard, but are often brought into the parlor and turned loose for the en- tertainment of guests.
 They then evincs their appreciation of their liberty by chasing each other, jumping over furniture and scattering ladies and chil- dren in every direction. They display great fondnegs for bright colors, and Q lady or child wearing dress of such material will receive great deal of attention from them. Bundles of newspapers thrown upon the floor will be seized, and in 8 few seconds reduced to shreds by the free use of teeth and claws, and but for constant watching rugs and hassocks would share the same fate When leased they become ugly. erovI and spit, and anyone attempting to pick them up will run the risk of getting . blow from . paw which will send five sharp claws deep into the flesh. When tired of play they will climb into their owners lap or stretch them selves upon sofa, where they will purr COntenE0dlY until theV fall asleen

THE NEW ROOMS OF THE YOUNG MEMS CHRIS,
 THAN ASSOCIATION.

THE NEW ROOMS OF THE YOUNG MEMS CHRIS, l THAN ASSOCIATION. The Derby Transcript gives the following
 history of the Young Mems Christian associ-
 ation of Ansonia which was dedicated re-
 gently:
 The present organization was formed in | the fall of 1881 and reading room | cured in the Opera House. A few weeks l after organization another room was secured
 and furnished on the opposite side of the
 street to be kept open only during the even
 ing.
 Thus matters continued for year.
 In the spring of 1883 State Secretary | Lawrence visited Ansonia, and, after | looking the field over, advised the asso- citation to hire general secretary and procure rooms Mir. Lawrence was informed that it would be impossible to ob- tain funds to carry on the work, but he was l firm in his conviction that it could be done. l He expressed his willingness to assist, and, | accordingly, union meeting of the churches l was held in the Congregational church. MT. Lawrence stated tho objects of the associa- ton and tho work they were organized to perform After the close of the meeting 1t was proposed to have 8 conference of busi
 ness men, to give them information also of | what the association intended to do, but 1t l was then too far ad vancsd in the fall for such
 purpose.
 Their attention was then turned to getting
 the State convention to hold it's sessions here, | which were successful and resulted in ayak- | ing a deep interest in the churches. | At it's close committee wss appointed,
 who at once leased the upper story of John B Gardner's new block, for five years, as a ! rental of $500, MT. Gardner agreeing to con- tribute $50 year to the association. The committee set to work to collect funds and
 the ladies of the churches assisted, and were
 successful iu raising what was needed to
 within $35O.
 In furnishing the rooms great care has
 been shown in selecting tasty and durable goods. The opinion is universal from men in and out of town that the rooms are among the most. if not the most, beautiful In the State. They consist of 8 reading room and parlor each of which is 19 1-2 by 20 feet
 The lecture room is 5Ox2O feet and the three
 are come cted by sliding doors and as oc- casien requires can be opened into one. The wood work is Virginia pine in natural 1 colors, giving to the rooms 8 neat and l tasty appearance. The frescoing was done
 by Healy, of Bridgeport, and in a manner 1 that reflects credit upon hls judgment and
 taste. The gymnasium is located on the east
 side and is fitted up with all the requisite l paraphernslia.
 l On January 1st of the present year, w. A. 1 Fisk, Of Shelbourn Fails, entered upon his duties as general secretary, to devote all his time to the work and to be in the rooms from 8:30 a.. m- to 9:30 p. m ', to look after young
 men and keep them in their physical and | spiritual wants. Feb. '.

A Full Attendance Of Both kAOuses-The Short Haul BIn Before the Railroad -- C0mm1sGee-NO New Business to be ns- ceived After TO-mOrrOw-Tr@nS0et of General Business.
 HARTFORD, Feb. 2. Special Correspondence of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
 There was full attendance in both houses to-day, and although the sessions were short, . good deal of business was disposed of in the way of referring new bills and petitions to the various committees. Tomorrow is the last for receiving new business except such as may originate in committees who after consideration of petitions may think it best to introduce some new bill that will meet the demands of the general public.
 This afternoon the principal interest cen tered in the railroad commissioners room where the Railroad committee were engaged in hearing the proposed ''Short HsuP blil' so called. The bill provides that there shall be no discrimination in regard to rates by railroads in this State on account of long or short hauls, except to make them proportion ately alike per mtle Hon. Charles E. Searles, ex-Secretary of State, appeared for the petl- tioners and Hon. William D. Bishop appeared for the railroads.
 Mir. Plunkett of Hartford, who is interest ed in the silk works at Tarifville, testified that it cost his company $2.1O per ton to transport coal from Hudson river over the Connecticut Central road, while the freight to Hartford per ton, which was twelve miles farther, was only ninety cents lie cla,med that this difference placed his con- cern at a disadvantage with competing points.
 MT. Bishop cross questioned MT. Plunkett at great length and brought out the fact that the reason why freights to Hartford were less than to Tariffv vile was because Hartford was connected with tide water and the railroad companies could not compete with water transportation, and that if they did not de liver coal at Hartford st the same rates as they were delivered by wa CT they could not deliver such freights at all, and that If they should refuse to deliver freights at Hartford at all it would make no difference with the freights of inland towns,
 Following is the business transacted in the Senate and House to-day.
