Now York Politics. The Comptrollership of New York City has passed from the hands of Boss Kelly. Ou Saturday Mavor Cooper sent Iin to thle board of alder men the name of Allan Campbell, as successor to Kelly, and the appolut ment was confirmed by a vote of thl' toeii to eight. The anti-Tainnany and Republican aldermen joined in the conirmation. This office, held by Kelly for several years, is lucrative i itself and its patronage runs up in the hundred thousands. Enemies of Kelly assert that this is the lever by which he has so long controlled Tammany Hall. Kelly's downfill may be at tributed to the etibrts of the prose, led by the Now York Herald. For mever al weeks that paper and the Kelly organs have been engaged in a desper ate warfare, and the ferald, having the longest ple, has knocked dowi the persimmon. No one forgets that it was through Kelly's defection last Keclly mnade a secret contract with the Rlepublicanas. and sold onut Hlancock.

That made the mu tle mal~der'n ever' antd he kicked like fury. That only gave the tail more momentum, and on its return it knocked the mule about a rod. The mule looked ar'ounid anid didn't see atnybody and kicked again. The tail was thetre as calm and regular as a pendulum and it came back like a steamboat running a race. That time it lifted the 'mule over the barnyard fence. But the mule on its feet atnd struck out agabn--gamne as ever. The tail fairly lautghed as It caught the mtile on its haunches and drove the mule down the lane a mile and a half at every whack.
