FIGHTING THE ICE.
BLOCKADE IN THE HARBOR.
Oyster Vessels In Annapolis Harbor Tug
Sunk


Sunk.
Annapolis harbor presents lively APP
pearance at the present time. Not since
the freeze of lS77 has so many vessels
been here. "A representative Of the
CAPITAL made a tour of the harb0r this
morning and found that about ole hum
dred oyster vessels were frozen fast in
the ice. On the vessels it is estimated
that there are over $500 bushels of oys.
ters. The oyster market is reported duh.
The packers say they have very few or
ders. Yesterday two well defined sun
dogs were seen by the mariners, which
isan indication of blizzard. A "sun-
d0gu is a luminous spot occasionally
seen few degrees from the sun. Ii is
interpreted by mariners to indicate that
bad weather may soon be expected.
The southeast breeze of Saturday night
blew the fields of heavy ice so that the
gorge extended from Seven-f00t Knoll
TO Sparrow S Point channel.
A TUG SINKS.
The lirst serious disaster in the bay
from the ice was the cutting through and
sinking on Saturday of the tug Jupiter,
of the American Towing Company S
fleet, of Baltimore. Early that morn
ing. while i'm company with the Enter
prise, of the same fleet. the Jupiter be-
gan TO leak when about off Thomas S
Point. In short time she sank in six
fathOms of water. The crew were saved
by the Enterprise and returned to Bal
timore The Jupiter is now off Sandy
Point.
The steamer Gov. McLane, Captain
Turner, came into harbor yesterday
from Chester river, and later towed the
Anne Arundel police schooner May
Brown to the oyster grounds. The
s0utherly wind formed an ice blockade
in Annapolis harbOr, which can be en-
tirely cleared only by a brisk northwest
er. Ghe tide was unusually high yester-
day. Before the ice became so dense
several oyster vessels and two large
schooners bound for Baltimore started
up. The pilot house of the tug Jupiter
was seen by Captain Turner, floating
around Sandy Point.
The McIane went out in the bay yes
terday afternoon and relieved several
vessels in distress. This morning the
steamer returned to Annapolis from
Chester river, where the police schooner
Hugh Bolton was towed out of the ice.
The ice in the harbor is from 3 to
inches thick.
The four-masted schooner Katherine
d. Perry, which has been in Annapolis
harbor for several days, was towed TO
Baltimore Saturday.
Several skaters broke through the ice
today.

A Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
thought be given to the physical body
which enables everyone to battle with
life's problem and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on the trial balance
sheet. Though the bank account may
he large and each ones material gain be
great, it would not be surprising If IL
suddenly dawns upon many that good
health has been greatly impoverished by
the low condition OF the blood. 1t is in
this state that the Tactic acid IN the
vital fluid attacks the ibrous tissues,
particularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations Of rheumatism.
Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla the great blood
purifier, a positive and permanent cure
for Theumatism.

After the war the general had good
practice, but he was extravagant and
often in need of money. Once he was
dogged by collector who had been put
off dozens of times. At last the collector
said General, you have said to me
time after time i cannot Pay you this
week. Come next. Now, ] can't afford
to be coming here all the time. You
must fix the day. When will you be able
to pay me?" "D--n it, sir, !" said the
general, ''do you think / am prophet?
When the general was running for
congress against Mr. Blank, after the
war, he tried to draw out Mr.. Blanks
exact opinions by a close debate on the
stump In such an intellectual conflict
few men could compete with Humphrey
Marshall. Mr.. Blank parried and fenced
as we'll as he could. Finally Marshall
said one evening in his ponderous tones
and impressive manner:
Fellow citizens. l have tried to pin
Mr.. Blank down and make him give me
q fair statement of his opinions and
principles, but he fits about SO nimbly
that it is impossible to follow him in an
argument. In dodging a debate be re-
minds me of bobolink fitting along q
zigzag worm fence, hopping or flying,
first on one side Of the fence and then
on the other, until the mind is bewil-
dered, and It is impossible to tell on
which side he is at any moment.

HUMAN NATURE ANALYzEp.

An exchange sizes up the human family in the following manner:
 Men are just like hogs, however distasteful this may sound to the hogs. When . hog gets au ear of corn, every other hog will trot along behind him, sQueal and whine. aud beg and toSdy for bite, but just let the front hog get caught with his head fast ID . crack, ard every son of a SOW will jump On him and tear him to pieces. Just so with men. As long as a man Is prosperous and has money, he can't keep his friends of with base bNIl bat. The minute be is unfortunate and his wealth Is gone, be is not only snubbed by his former alleged friends. but they at once begin to do him all the harm possible. When q man starts up grade. the wurld falls behind and pushes, When he starts down grade, the world steps Ca oue side and greases the track.
 The above diagnosis IS only par italy true. It is true that while prosperity attends a man in tbjs life, be will not want for friends. as a rule. But it is not true that when a man starts up grade. the world falls behind and pushes" The truth IS tbst when an individual shows signs of proSDeritv. thert, ate always found those about him whose iealousles are aroused, and instead of getting behind and pushing, they get m front and roll rocks and 6oulderS on his pathway and he is harsssed and annoyed m every con- ceivsble manner Let his success be accomplished, despite all efforts to prevent 1t. and then 1t is that opposition changes to fawninE.
