The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-13
An Excellent Man Gone,

Those familiar with the citizens
Of Maryville, and especially with
the students of Maryville College,
will remember the familiar feat
ures of John N. Blackburn, who
about the year 1886 was q student
here. He was u Jefferson County
boy; had married and lived there
q few years, when his wife died and
he was left with two motherless
children ON his hands. Though
surrounded with such distressing
circumstances and somewhat ad-
vanced in life, the call Of the Mas
ter sounded in his ears-"Go preach
my G0spel"-and he conferred not
with flesh and blood" but commit
ting his little children to the care
Of kind friends, he at once repaired
to Maryville and entered College,
and successfully prosecuted his
literary course, studying theology
under the venerable Rev. Isaac An
dersOn, d. d., and was licensed to
preach the Gospel by Union Pres.
bytery, in 1850. He labored for a
time as an evangelist, and In the
meantime was married to Miss
Eliza j. Ambrister, most estima-
BILE lady of this vicinity, and re-
moved to Polk County, where he
labored for q few years, for a time
having charge of the Academy sit
uated ut Benton, Polk County, Ten.
nessee. About or soon after the
war he removed to Greene County,
where he remained till the close OF
the war. In the meantime his wife
had died, and he then removed to
Cornersville, Middle Tenn, where
he spent year and then removed
to North Alabama, where his la.
bors were terminated a few weeks
ago by a call of the Master to "COme
up higher" His labors since the
war were in connection with the
Southern Presbyterian Church.
We are advised that he leaves {
promising son in the ministry wht
is laboring successfully at som'
point in Middle Tennessee; anC
we are also advised that he wa
again married, but details of hi
history since the war are yer.

The most interesting thing to re-
port from this place is the protract-
ed religious services, conducted by
Rev. J. A. Ruble, which has been
in progress twelve days and nights,
apparently without any abatement
in jealous work in the cause by
ministers or Christian people. The
services will probably continue

We said yesterday that whichever
party succ eeded at the approaching
congressional lections this fall would
be sure to elect the next President.
There is a long line of presidents for
this statement. The party that OBJ
tains o majority of the House OF
Representative in The middle of q
presidential term, has always succeed
ed in electing their President two
years tbereafter--u unless some extra
ordinary causes for an exception pro-
duce different result. And the rea-
son is apparent. II an Administra-
ton conducts itself so as to PROSTATE
its party 10 the middle of its terms,
it may naturally be expected to lose
its hold upon the people and its fate
must be defeat at the next national
contest.
Our friends at Washington should
take warning, If the warning is not
too late, and so conduct themselves
as to inspire the confidence of the
people in their ability to manage with
skill and judgment the affairs of the
nation.

THE HADEs OF HAwAH.-The Sand
wich Islands boast of two natural
wOnders-the largest extinct and the
largest active volcano in the world.
The former is located on the island of
Maui, the summit being nearly eleven
thousand feet above the level of sea,
and crater over forty-eight miles in
circumference. One can look down
into the crater two thousand feet, the
sides now terraced and covered with
sandalwood, ferns, and wonderful
profusion of tropical flowers and
shrubs. The active volcano is situated
in the Island of Hawaii.
The crater is situated on a spur of
Mauna Loa, four thousand feet above
sea level. The crater is not a cone,
but great pit on level bench, nine
miles in circumference. You go down
down over this almost perpendicular
wall eight hundred feet, and stand on
the floor of the center. This is the
place of eternal burnings, the house Of
everlasting fire of Hawaiian mythol-
ogy. The area at the bottom of the
crater is not a liquid mass, but for
miles and miles around there spreads
scene of unearthly grandeur. Five
or six lakes of fire lie to the left and
right; the floor beneath is so hot one
can scarcely walk over it; lava ooze.
up through the assures. Huge cones
twenty or thirty rect high, made by
the bubbles of lava, rise through the
seams and are cooled by the air.

ORIGIN OF "MR." AND MRS"

The history OF those everyday titles
Of Mr.. and Mrs, which are now the
common property of everyone, is not
without interest, though in some ol
its steps it is a little obscure
In the earlier times of our history
the ordinary man was simply William
or John; that Is to say, he had merely
Il Christian name, without any kind oi
handle" before it or surname after it
Some means OF distinguishing one
John or one William from another
William became necessary Nick.
names, derived from Il mans trade, Oh
from his dwtlling-l lace, or from som,
personal popularity, were tackled on t.
their Christian names, and plain John
became John Smith. As Yet there
Were no " Mistcr>" III In, Land.
Some John Smith accumulated NOR,
wealth than The bulk oi his fellows
became, perhaps, Il landed proprietor
or an employer OF hired labor Then
he began to be called in the Norman.
French of the day the Maistre" OF
this place or of that, of these or those
workmen.
In time the " Maistre' or Master
as it soon became, got tackled ON be-
fore his name, and he became Maistel
Smith, and his wife was Maistress
Smith.
But gradually the sense OF posses
sion was lost sight of and the title
Was conferred upon any man who had
attained social distinction of any kind
whether by mere possession of wealth
or by holding some position of NOR,
or less consideration and importance
1t is only within comparatively
modern times that the term came t.
be considered an almost indispensable
adjunct to everyone's name.
Maistress Smith soon became Mis-
