Naming a Cat.

A gentleman doing business on Lake street, a day or two since, was presented with a very beautiful kitten. Yesterday a couple of young ladies happened in the store, and of course kitty, as kittens and babies always do, came in for an immense quantity of endearments and caresses. “O,my! What a sweet, darling little kitten. What is its name!” “It has not been christened yet.” “O, the dear thing! Do call it after me; call it Jane—won’t you.” “I should be very happy to do so,” said gallant friend, “But it isn't that kind of a J cat!''’ Kitty was deposited on the floor in a ; tv, inkling, and a cruple of young ladies were soon after seen looking around for a good place to faint.
