England is importing hay from this
country. not for feeding purposes, but for
paper stock. Common slough hay. or
what is better known as prairie grass, has
been ordered from Chicago by English pa
per makers, the first cargo of which is be-
ing shipped from that city. II is intended
that ii shall take the place Of esparto grass,
the supply of which from Spain has been
cut off TO great extent by internal diff
culties in that country. As our paper
makers in this country have pretty well
exhausted experiments in the paper-mak
ing qualities of grass, 1t remains TO be seen
what foreign skill and capital will do.
With the modern improvements for com
pressing hay, the article can be very eco
nomically transported. AS large por-
ton of our paper rags and stock come from
England and the south of Europe, this
new departure may be regarded as one of
the eccentricities OF commerce.

we learn the following particulars Of

o'clock:
Two men. mounted on Mexican ponies.
were crossing from the Kansas side to the
Missouri. Their names are Mason and
Albertson, and live near Waterloo, Black
Hawk county, Iowa. They had been out
in Southern Kansas trading in cattle. and
were on their way home. When about
half way across the channel span of the
bridge one of the ponies became fright

around To run from il he backed against
the guard-rail. and got one Of his him. fees
through between the railing and the
bridge. this threw the animal down. and
in his struggles TO regain his footing he
got his other hind leg through. The men

pony struggled as for life. but every mo-
ton he made only hurried him TO his fate.

the men were bewildercd-it was no more
than minute from the time the animal
took fright till they saw him plunge into
the river. They stood motiOnless. watch

pecting every moment to see his dead body

giving II up so. lie came 10 the surface

vigorous snort, and turning around once or
twice. he seemed to take i'm the whole sit

souri, shore. effcciing landing about 10
yards below the bridge.
The ponies were not saldled. but instead
had blankets fastened on with girths, TO
which stirrups were attached. and the ami
NAL that went overheard came out with all
his rigging intact. The men went on
to the Missouri side, and as soon a. they
got grade. the one that was mounted rode
