The ORIGIN OF CAvEs.-The origin
Of the caves which SO abound in the
limestone of the Allegheny and Mis-

of much interest. Their galleries
measure many thousands of miles,

Cope has examined twenty-five, in

Tennessee, and adds his testimony to
the belief that they have been formed
by currents Of running water.

It will be seen that the impOrta-
tions for the last FIVE months exceed
in bulk and value those of the
twelve months preceding, a fact
which is due to her short crops of
1871. She paid 100000 in round
numbers to Russia up to June LIST,
and only 100000 to the United
States. The Economist remarks
that this proportion will probably
be maintained, as nations buy where
they sell. We take issue with the
latter assertion, not because it is I'M
true, but rather because it is incOr-
rectly used as the premises of the
conclusion arrived at. The true
reason would seem to be that the
protection policy devised for the
benefit Of our manufacturers. and
intended, of course, to accomplish
the one purpose of sustaining high
prices, has enhanced the cost of pro
duction of all agricultural products
to such an extent as to disable us as
bidders for foreign custom. England
can buy cheaper grain elsewhere,
and Of course buys it.
The Economist proceeds to re-
mark that the English market will
require twelve million bushels OF
grain before the now harvest be-
comes available, aud that she must
resort to other nations for the requi-
site supply.

No Bureau for B,unde rs.

A frst-rate story is told of very promi-
nent man, who lived in Detroit forty years
ago, and who at that time owned more
steamboat STOCK than any other man in the
Western country, besides othef EkaltE to a
large amount.
Like many of the pioneers who acquired
great riches, he was very ignorant in all
chat books taught, but his learning was
more ike wisdom, and in common with
many who have lived, and Iassed away,
but left their mark behind them, be knew
what tree would make shingles by looking
at it.
He had, at the time of our story, just
completed splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo, and Wanting suitable clerk to
take charge of it, he advertised for one in
the papers. The next morning early can
didaie for the position presented himself,
-ather too fashy young man in appear
snce, but tho following conversation &C.
Cured:
"Young man, when you make mistake
in any of your books, how do you correct
it?'
The young man explained, in very pro-
fuse manner, bow be should proceed to
make it all right.
ga good way, no doubt, to do It," replied
the old man, "but shan't want you"
Very soon another aspirant put in an APP
pearance. A similar question was asked
him, and in Q long and eloquent manner he
pointed out the remedy in all such cases.
All the reply was, "Young man, ] shant
want you"
Some three or four others dropped In dur
ing the day, and TO each one the same
question was put, and they all had some
smart way of covering up errors in their
books"
The old gentleman was entirely ignorant
himself of the art of bookkeeping, but he
had wisdom in all things, which is more
than match for learning.
Just at the close of the day plainly
dressed man, with bright eye and brisk
step CT lied for the situation.
@Take seat, sir" said the old gentle
man, 81 want to ask you just one question.
When you make a false entry on your
books, how do you 60 to work to correct
it?'
Turning upon his questioner cold,
sharp look, the young man replied: IL
don't make those kind of mistakes, SIR
'Ah! my dear sir, you are just the man
have been looking for all day." and in
few moments after the man who corrected
bis blunders by not making them, was in
stalled in the office.
