"No Individual lu.a a right to tax another snd oalMtvJent for that other has a right to i thou*"-/* (but land free save only the gov- vfiiuie^ftax which cannot be objected to. "^t Is no argument to say that the vocations at a largo number make it undesirable for itVwrn to appropriate and cultivate land, for ithli cannot destroy their right to live."

An Immenso steamship was liiiiuohed last week at Bay City. For a steamer she fairly tlvnls the Golden Ago.'dosoilboel In this join mil last week tiVoiigh not quite iw large. Her extreme length Is 200 feet, breadth of beam four feci; and depth of hold twenty otic fcot at the shoalest place, whllo she will huvp a capacity for onnyliig 00,000 bushels of corn. The Golden Ago, It will be romemborcd, Is 205 'fpc/over nil, tldrty-iilne feet six inches beam, twenty-two fcot depth of hold nnd will have a capacity of 120,000 bushels of com.

Some aspects of the tribulations of the land grain carriers from Chicago to New Yoik, as gleaned (torn the amount of grain received In the Intter city during the pint few weeks, are of interest to the cleif sight¬ ed marine inun. Espeiiallv is this Hue when the lake carrier realizes that the slightest cause mav produce n rupture of the existing peace, when a general ihroat-cut- ling melee may ensue in the scrabble lor grain Irelghts. Much sharp Investigation has been instituted In the metropolis to dis¬ cover the cause or a state ot affairs not alto¬ gether pleasant to the New York Central. This road and the Eric, the natural carriers of grain going east, absorb the bulk of tho business. Tho New York Central, usually tho heavier carrier of the two, has lor some time past, according to the reports prepared to show the amounts transported, been fall¬ ing behind Its oompetitor. For Instance, week before last Erie carried In round num¬ bers 300,000 bushels while New York Ccn tral carried but 67,000 bushels. The amount ,'of the latter road should havo exceeded the Er'e's figure by twenty or thirty thousand, Instead of railing so rar below. This gave rise to a belief that Erie had been cutting, and a commissioner was set to work to llnd out the cause of, this state of affairs. What he learned had the effector quieting matters considerably. In fact, there is a strenuous assertion that the pool lines wilbdo nothing to create a disturbance among themselves, but arrangements will probably be taken to guard against being fleeced by others. Sev¬ ern! mads lending out of Chicago, not In the pool, nnd therefore at liberty io cut nnd slush at plenume, have, It is asserted, hetn feeding tin- Krie, while tliu ollleois of. Die Intter de¬ ny nil Cuti'.iig, a tact which should need no denial, whpu ■ lie road ran get plenty of grain at lull rates. Among 1I16 ronda tlitlaJ our country, feeding Erie, tho Graiul Trunk is thougiit * tube uhle>, a», notwithstanding its stiung denial, evidences of Its cutting havo been plain to those Interested for sonio time. The Chicago & Atlantic, Krlt's new line out of Chicago, does not belong to tho Chicago poul, and can do as It pleases. The Chicago, St. Louis & Pittsburg, which Is Independent and at liberty to iniike Its own rales, also turns ovel a huge amount of business to Erie, Of eourso th« pool managers at Chi¬ cago cannot atleniprto dlotiito to these vvlid- cat loads,and Is probably.kapt quite busy enough collecting and allotting to Its'own companies. The Kile peoplo imiko nil sons ofcxcnscstDr the condition ol things (list Igivos them a preponderance of business, In Itluf evident desire to placate its pool-fellow nnd competitor, tlio" York Central, but it would squill that no great amount of dis¬ cernment Is necessary to divine the causes, anil at the same time see that on its pa. t Erie is quite content. While the Central officers letugnize lujjaots, nnd claim that a win is the last thing desired by any of-the pool roads, Ihey Insist that soinu proteciive measures must, do i.dopted. What these may be no one can tell, but a provision of Ihe pool agreement, that a roi.J that suffers (rnm tho cuts qf others, while it maintained rates could ask lo have Its r»tcs reduced bv the commissioners, poihts to something like theii possible limine. Vessel men will, of course, watch the outcome with considerable Interest. -» DEATH OF U. S. GRANT. Another Ex-Presldeiit gone. Wo learji Just its wo go to press of the sudden doath or General U.

Fivih Iht Chicago Intrr~(kcan Last evening another death occurred w lileh n ill cause w idesprend regret and sor¬ row.

He' bus indeed (Allen asleep to the tares of this Hie. Ihe old Liipinln's career was well round¬ ed out,and he ' crosses the bay" with n good record behind him.

And now the old captain has nn. Into his final have., ot rest—his snug harbu. "ncioss the unj," In eternity. Hosts or old friends in Chleiigtvand in all the lake titles will bid Captain ybarles a sad "bon voyage," and say a,kind Vord for him. ' Captain Harding owned and sailed the bark C. I'.

For several years he was In the shlpchand- lery business Ln Chicago. Along about 18(12 or '03 the (then) new hark U. V. R. Watson took on Iter first cargo ol grain In Chicago and a party of promi¬ nent merchant* and vem-l-owners went out on the tug Union, width towed hero it, to "see her oil.' The old "south channel' was the route out ol the harbor then. Captain Harding, Captain John I'rlndlvlllc, Cap¬ tain David Dall. and nihers still lien; were of the partv The tug was just about letting f'o or the Watson's line and the master ol litter, Captain Brandt, was shouting "Good- by!" when the tug's boiler exploded.' Sav- eral or her crow were killed, and ovci'v ono on hoard was more or loss Injured. Among the latter was Captain Harding. Ills Inju rles were so severe that at first his life was despaired ol, but bis giant constitution car' rted htm through and he recovered. He was crippled, however, and always afterward walked lame, compelling him to carry a stout stiok, something he very much uU- liked to do. The Captain leaves a handsome fortune in real estate and other properly. Within a few years a number of Chicago's old vessel owners have passed away, amour them Alex English, Mr. Doyle, II. 8, Hal •ted, Captain Thomas L. Parker and others, and now Captain Harding. «•» »--------- Vessel owners aie paying their county taxes under protest. THE "ANCHOR BRAND" PULTJ5Y BLOCKS TAKE THE PREMIUM.

This avnrd is one In which tho block using pub¬ lic will heartily concur, lor their blocks havo been Invorably known pn the lakes and olspvvha.c for yeargVin.id the quality oflhelr trucks and baggage barrows therefore goes with tho saying. Many or tho largest outfits on the lakes aie supplied with their blooks, (the patent blocks w Ith their all steel roller bt.shings, which they make themselves nnd which stand tho incket when others fall) nnd users should sec thnt they get the "An¬ chor Binnd" blocks.
