How Ii Feels TO lie shot.

From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the veterans of Post No. IS in this
city, who was several times wounded in ac-
ton, was asFed TO describe how It felt to
be shot down. He replied thar he had made
the same request of many wounded com-
rades in order to compare notes. Then he
added: The first effect of a gunshot wound
that skaters bone is a sensation Of satis-
fed anticipation, much as to say. Here T
CO. or Just as l expected and the wound
is considered hopelessly mortal as a matter
Of course. Then as pain ensues and a sense
of ACKNOWLEDGMENT there is a profound feel-
ing Of self-pity. This lasts during what
surgeons call The first shock and is the
cause OF that peculiar moaning Of the des-
perately wounded. generally attributed to
physical suffering alone and familiar TO all
who have been in battle After the wound
is dressed or an amputatlon performed there
rises in the mind a faint dawn of hope. Ir
this grows into a determination to get well
the victim stands good chance Of re.

ada for a few hours for the express purpose
of shoppig. Many of the Canadian stores
ere largely supported by this class Of trade.
The smugglers possess such great natural
advantages over the customs officers that
the latter, however alert and efficient cam
not help being circumvented at times. This
illicit trade is not confined to articles of
large value AMI small blk, like opium, but
embraces such merchandise as horses. cat

over by the boat load ut might, without ap-
parent fear of detection.

The smuggling of opium is not the only
alarming consequence of the opening up of
the railways through Manitoba, the north
west territory and British Columbia. The
various acts of Congress having for their
object the exclusion of Chinese laborers
from the United States are said to be prac-
tically nuliiied nv the clandestine intro

Steamers engaged on regular routes are
also suspected of being engaged in the
nefarious traffic. These operations have
been profitable in the past because of the
insufficiency of the revenue marine service
in the northwest. Steps have been taken
to increase it by the addition of swift sail
ing vessels and more inspectors. Good re-
suits are anticipated from the visit of AS
sistant Secretary Hamlin to that region.
He made an inspection of the service, and
will undoubtedly aid in its improvement.
The force of special agents has been ex-
tremely active during the past six months,
