A Presbyterian SeminarS's Re-
ViVaI.

Charleston SCI News.l
The Presbyterians propose to cele,
brate next week the semi-centennlaI
of their theological institution at Co,
lumbia. S. c. The special occasion Of
this celebration is the completion Of
fifty years services as professor 10 the
seminary of tho venerable George
Howe, DID,, LID, whose entrance
into the chair Of Biblical literature
was cotemporaneous with the origin Of
the institatiou as an organized school
of theological training. The celebra
ton is set for Friday. November 4,
and the programme, which has been
published, presents an imposing array
of addresses, diSeourses, and memoirs
of deceased professors. Preparations
have been in progress for more than a
year past, and the occasion is expected
to be one Of special interest, pleasure,
and profit. The synod Of South Caro-
lima will be in session at Columbia
at the time. and the alumni and friends
Of the institution will gather there
from all quarters. This venerable
school Of the prophets" whose ample
and commodious buildings occupy a
whole square in the city
of Columbia, in whose conse-
Grated walls many of the ablest d.
vines of the South have taught, aud
which owns a most valuable library oil
over 10000 volumes, has done a noble
work in theological education. Its
alumni are filling hundreds of pulpits
throughout the South and West, and
many of them are among the most
distinguished preachers in the land.
But since the war, which swept away
the larger part Of its handsome en-
dowment, it has had a severe struggle
to maintain itself, and at present its
exercises are on this accoun. suspend
ed. In connection, however, with
this semi centennial celebration an
earnest and vigorous effort has been
made for the re- endowment. One
special project undertaken in view Of
this celebration was the raising OF
$4,000 for the endowment of the
chair occupied the Rev. DR.. Howe,
to be called, in commemoration of bis
long and faithful services, "The Howe
Memorial" The amount set has
nearly, if not quite, been raised, and
along with it such additions have
been secured to the endowment Of the
other chairs that there is a prospect
now of the institution being placed
once more upon a solid financial basis
and ofresuming its regular exercises
next year with a full and able faculty

tons. The second party, under Pro-
fessor Dusief, will leave Capstadt on
the east coast, and follow in the steps
Of Livingstone up the river Zambesi
as far as Lethosi, where they will turn
northward, in order to reach Lake
Banguelo, the least known ofthe great
African lakes, which it is their chief
purpose to explore. They expect to
oyertake Colonel Wouvermann1 party
in Casembe and go on to Nyangue
with them.
The third party, commanded by
Colonel Strauch, is to meet Stanley
on the Congo and aid him in the ex-
ploration Of that stream. They take
with them a feet Of small STEAMBOATS,
which can be transported in sections
and carried around the falls and rap
ids Of the lower river. for service
above. Mr.. Stanley has collected a
force Of 1000 natives at Viyi for the
portage Of these boats. From the
head of possible navigation on the
Upper Congo, wherever that point
may be, Colonel Strauch's party will
make their way to Nyangue., The
fourth expedition, under Emil Ban

Khartoum, at the junction Of the
White and Blue Niles, and ascending
the White Nile to the Albert Nyanza
will explore the western shore OF that

country will join the other expedi'

parties meet, the probability is that
they will seek the east coast at Ian

mined. 1t will be at least two years

Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.l
CHICAGO, November !. -Ifany faith
is to be put in reports current in high
social circles in Chicago, Miss Clara
Louise Kellogg will very shortly with
draw from public appearances, and
play a star engagement to an audience
Of one-in other words, that Miss
Kellogg is soon to be married and re-
retire from the concert stage forever.
II er betrothal is a fact well known
among her many friends here. the
happy Cor, as it appears, the unhappy
man being a Mr.. Whitney, a wealthy
and well-known stock operator Of
New York. For a Icing time past he
has pressed the fair diva to name the
day, but she has with equal persistence
opposed his urgency, evidently being
reluctant to close her brilliant career
in the zenith OF its success. Finding
persuasion of no avail, Mr.. Whitney
has adopted a system of mild coercion,
which consists in accompanying Miss
kellogg in all her professional jour
neyings-an arrangement in itself
not at all disagreeable to the lady, who
iseincerely attached to her fancee,
but which is just q trihe awkward
under the circumstances-namely, the
absence in New York On account of
sickness of Miss Kellogg's mother.
With that faithful chaperone at her
post, it would be only too pleasant for
the young lady to enjoy the constant
attendance of her sweetheart; but as
matters stand, she is not a little wor-
ried over it. This is perfectly we'll
known to Mr.. Whitney, and forms an
element in the coercion scheme. He
has urged her to abandon all her con
cert engagements and go to the altar
at once, and to her persistent refusal
be opposed his persistent attendance.
The ardent lover has been in Chicago
during Miss Kellogg's engagement
this week and last, and in a good
humOred way announces his
intention to keep up the excur
sion as long as she does. 1t is said
that a day or Two ago Miss Kellogg
wss describing her predicament to
Mrs. Herbert Ayr, Of this city, who
is one Of her intimate and confidential
friends. After listening to the recital
Mrs. Ayr exclaimed: why don't you
break off all your concert engagements
at once and marry him." The per-
picked prima donna agreed that this
might be done were it not for being
far awaytrom home, and not liking to
be married 10 a hotel. 20, dear
said her sprightly friend, I'VE can ar
range that easily enough. Just come
to our house and be married right off,
That this offer involved a wedding
got up on as.brilliant a scale as she
could desire Miss Kellogg we'll knew,
and it was plain that she was strongly
tempted to avail herself Of the gener-
Gus proposition. So stands the mat
ter at present, and it is thought not at
all unlikely that Mr. Whitney will be
rewarded Tor his patience and his pes
tering at no distant day. Indeed,
Miss Kellogg's friends here are quite
confident that such will be the out
come, and declare that they wouldn',
be surprised fit happened almost any
day within a week or two.

news from the Virginia election,
Mahone's success in Virginia will not
