Chaplain M'Cabe's Great Will.

Chaplain McCabe is one of the
characters that add spice to the dry
details of Methodist Church Manage
ment. The New York Press says:
The Book Concern up Broadway is his
occasional headquarters, and the
world has heard good deal about him
for the last three or four years. Stand
ing one day on the platform, and fac
ing great meeting of the clergy and
laity, who were discussing how money
was to be obtained for the missions of
the church, he raised the cry of ga
million for missions!'' The old boys
laughed at him, but he looked over
their doubling faces and answered, Il
will find it." And he did. One million
and quarter of dollars were poured
into the treasury of the church by this
sturdy and engergetic beggar for
missions, and men who had never
given cent before helped the cause
for the first time. He has gone on
collecting, and his success still con-
tinues phenomenal. He is in the
prime of life, and was born in Ohio.
During the war he spent half year in
Libby prison, and carries in his half
shriveled arm the reminder of services
done for the Union in Its darkest days.
He is an orator of no mean power, q
singer of church music far superior to
Sankey, a thoroughly religious man
and genial. brotherly, good fellow.
who realizes the failings of humanity
and is ready to forgive its sins.

A Wonderful Bird.

While Admiral Porter was on oneof
his cruises he picked up parrot and
presented it to lady in Washington.
The parrot was beautiful large green
bird with yellow ring around his
neck and two or three red and blue
feathers in his tail. He was a won-
derful bird and was petted by all the
family, especially by the children, who
looked upon him with kind of awe.
Regularly, when he heard the break
fast or dinner bell ring, Poll would
come sliding down tie banisters, from
his perch on the top story, aiding him.
self with his beak and claws. When he
had reached the dining-room he would
calmly and sedately slide up to the
place which was always kept for him,
and climbing into the high chair wait
in dignitied manner for the benedic-
ton. He was especially strict in his
religious duties. Immediately on hear
ing the first words of the grace he
would begin a sort of mumbling repe-
tition of them until the end, when,
with loud and shrill "Amen!" he
would startle anyone not prepared for
this finale.
At the table he was exceedingly well
conducted, and was often held up as
shining example to some of the smaller
children belonging to the family.
Without a trace of nervousness he
would calmly eat potatoes, rice, salad,
bread and fruit, reaching his claw
down into his plate and with great
daintiness conveying the food to his
mouth. Something which he liked es-
pecially was sugar, and he never used
to be satisfied when any of the chill
dren noticed him until they gave him
some Jumps of it, which they with a
kindred feeling used to carry around
with them.
One of the parrots tricks was in
perching himself at the head of the
stairs, on one of the upper floors Of the
house, and shrieking the children's
names one after the other, initiating
their tones and voices and making it
appear that quarrel was going on or
that one of them had been hurt. The
terrified mother would frequently rush
out of the rooms only to find Poll
serenely sitting on the banisters, with
his head tilted over to one side, one
eye being shut and the other regarding
her with the utmost unconcern.
One very curious thing, considering
his nautical experience and association
with seamen of all kinds, was the fact
that he was never known to swear or
say anything which could not be said
in the presence of ladies.
