HOW IT FEELS TO BE SHOT.
First Actions of Wounded Soldiers on the
Field Of Battle.

Capt. George l.. Kilmer, in the Popu-
lar Science Monthly for June, says:
An infantry soldier at Gaines Mill.
who was hit in the knee by "A bullet
and ultimately died Of the wound, said
that he thought he had run against "A
standing thistle.
When felt at all, bullets through The
flesh usually produce a burning sensa-
ton or less acute. When bones
are broken. stinging accompanies the
burning. When bones are hit but not
broken. There is "A numbing sensation
in the whole region involved IN the
shock, followed very soon 10y severe and
sometimes intense pain. When mus
cles and tendons are involved, there H.
a tugging sensation. sometimes Very
slight, and shell wounds produce feel
ings similar to those by bullets, more
or less exaggerated. according. to the
size OF the missile and the degree OF
velocity. Bayonet wounds | never
saw except upon corpses-for ! was

cannon balls, they do not, as n rule,
leave anything behind TO exhibit feel

A musket ball nj Autietam passed
directly through Gen. Joseph Rockers
foot between the arch aud the muscles
OF the sole, the seat, as every one
knows, of veIy sensitive nerves. Had
the general been IN a state OF mod
crate repose, the blow would have
unnamed him. tor the moment at
least. Intensely preoccupied as he
was, he did not notice the blow or the
sensations that accompanied and fol

In the charge of the ninth corps on
the confederate works east OF Peters
burg, a sergeant OF the iiity-seventh
Massachusetts leapsd upon the para
pet, and, with his cap iii his lett hand,
his musket in his right, stood cheering
and gesturing with his arms to iucite
his comrades to come n. Suddenly
Il shell took his head off as completely
as Il knife could have done, but the
tall form continued erect for some sec

General Grant was y afraid to
openly trust and honor a brave wo-
man. Let me tell one more story TO
his memory.
In 1861 Major Powell, now chief OF
the United States geological survey,
w. professor OF geology IN an Illinois
town, and Just married. He and his
bride took their wedding journey
straight into the war Their honey
moon ~ spent in camp; and girl
wife went prepared TO follow her sol
der husband wherever he might 60.
Within one month of their marriage,
at the battle OF shiloh, Major Powell
lost his arIn. He was %brought' into
headquarters, where his wife nursed
him faithfully.
Gen. Grant sat one day inside their
| tent irving to cheer the man through
an hour of terrible suffering, but as lac
went away he said TO some one, ~
right arm too, his work Is done in the
army"
Mrs. Powell heard it. She stood in
the tent door. with IA very positive
look on her face, and as Gen. Grant
came ont she said NO. no. general,
Don't say 50, I'm "a woman, and
young, but I've enlisted in this war,
Let me H. the right arm. Wen find
plenty OF hard good work todo forthe
army yet, Try me, general Ii ! fail
dlschnrgr MS, See how II three-armed
soldier can serve youl'
".All right. Mrs. Powell, " said Gen.
Grant. "Eouarr n commissioned Off
Ger from This hour, S,nd your hus-
bands messenger to nay tent ] will
make out your papers
Gen. Grant shook hands with the
small, plucky woman,and with a merry
twinkle in his SAID How soon will
the three-lrmcd soldier Ice ready for
marching orders 1'
Mrs. Powell SOMETHING'S tells this
story herself, and she adds; IL

band, and b.ushctl nnl cried ~

She accepted hcr soldiership, lived in

II never regretted that perpetual
pass Just before ..is last illness a
brother officer remarked to him one
day:
alt was n mistake TO allow "a many
women to follow the army
The general took his cigar from his
