REMOVAL OF Mr.. ID. u. CRAl9 AND
APPoINTRESTO OF Mr.. .BRADFORD.

Owing to a Misunderstanding, or perhaps
more properly speaking, an nndsrstanding with
several News Room Associations in Boston and
Sew York, Mr.. Craig, for many years the Tel
rgraphc Agent of the New York Associated
Press, has recently been removed, and his late
frst assistant, Mr.. Bradford, has been tempo
Iariiy, If not permanently, appointed a. Mr..
Crsig's successor. Mr.. Bradford il q yonng
man. He commenced his newspaporisl career
upon the Boston Alias when quite . lad, and
seemed to lake to the business rs naturally as
u fish does TO water. He has acted - assist
ant chief manager In Mr.. Craigr ONCE for Eev-
rral years, and we believe has always given great
satisfaction TO the newspaper publishers Of
New York. lie Is faster man than Mr.. Craig
in the way Of furnishing news, and we hope
This peculiar business element in Mr.. Bradford's
composition will soon develop itself. II tht
Association think they are not charging enough
at the present rates, We are disposed TO sufrel
increased taI, II II will enable us TO furnish oul
readers with all the news OF the day up to th'
hour Of going to press. We rejoice In the pro
motion of Mr.. Bradford, and hope be will
prove equal 10 the responsible duties intrusted
to him Tor, be 1t known, there are few posi-
lions in the country requiring more prompt
action, clearer observation, or q more careful
Judgment.

The preaching power Of the fO-inch, 800
FOUNDER, Parrotrined gun, now about to be used

best understood BY comparing II with the ordi-
nary "a FOUNDER siege gun, which was the

A 24-pounder round shot, which starts with
a velocity Of ,ee5 feet per second, strikes ar

loclty Of about 800 feet per second. ,trI "-'
The lo.inch rife three hundred pound shot
has an initial velocity Of I'LL fest, and has
afterwards remaining velocity Of 700 feet per
second at distance Of s, 500 yards. "
From well.known mechanical laws, the re-
sis,ancc which these projectiles are capable Of
overcoming is equal to s., ,750 pounds and
l,9l4,l $50 pounds, raised one foot In 4 second
respectively. Making Allowance for the differ
epce Of the diameters Of these projedilss, II
will be found that their penetrating power will
be as TO 1876. DE- 90.

$500 yards, In brick work, 10 e inches. Tht
penetration Of the l0inch projsctiie will there

To use a more familiar illustratlon-th
power Of the l0.inch rife shot al the distanc
