Remarkable Nerve Of Methodist Preacher.

The Wilson correspondent of
the Greensboro Daily News, tells
this remarkable story:
"A preacher of the Methodist
conference, in session here whose
charges are on the Roberdell Cir
cult in Richmond county, isa man
of remarkable nerve. Seven years
ago, before entering the ministry
and while living with his uncle,
who is physician, a horse ran
away with him and threw him
out against a tree stump by the
road side. His head came in con-
tact with big stump, rendering
him unconscious for a while. On
recovering he went home a,foot
and for 15 months he had con.
tinual headache.
From time to time his uncle
made an examination of the
wound on his head, which failed
to heal and assured the sufferer
there was no fracture. Finally
the preacher concluded to make
q personal investigation of his
condition and soon found with
the aid of two mirrors, a pen
knife and nerve, that his uncle
had been mistaken as to the no.
ture of his wound.
Placing a small mirror in his
lap he seated himself in front Of
a larger one which he arranged
in such manner that he could
see the top of his head and with
the point of a penknife soon found
that his skull was cracked. He
cut around the fracture and took
out piece as large as a silver
dollar, and almost Immediately
the pain left him. He refused to
have his head trepanned, and it
quickly cured, leaving a round
s ear a quarter of an inch deep
and nearly as large as a dollar"

Wants TO Put Men in Gay C0lorS.

A man garbed in a black frock
coat a rutfle. a pairof pink breech-
es and bright-colored stockings
very likely would evoke aStonish-
ment if not ridicule were he to
stroll down Fifth Avenue or
Broadway, but Henry Parkes,
hailed in London as "the hidden
hand in mems fashions, declares,
according to a dispatch from
London, such restoration of color
and line to mems dress should
be logical and altogether prop
er aftermath of the war.
He is seeking to revolutionize
mems dress to popularize the
gallant styles of bygonc days.
His creed is that men want to
cast off their dark, unsympathet-
ic garments of gloom and wear
clothes of bright hue and bril-.
liant cut expressive of a new age
of heroism and romance.
Volunteers wanted, 1000
sportSmen of good social position
to wear upon a given date now
fashions for men designed to
bring back color and line into
masculine attire"
This was the giSt of a request
the apostle of the new,era of "ro-
mantle dress sought to have in
serted in London papers. TO
convince newspaper representa-
tives of his sincerity Mr.. Parkes
exhibited fifteen sample suits, or
rather costumes.
The "call for volunteers" was
printed, but the last communicate
from Mr.. Parkcs' establishment
was to the effect that the desired
war strength" of 1000 had not
yet been recruited.
