THE LAHEAR REQUEST.

The Savannah Advertiser says: "FOl-
lowing the tidings Of the death Of MIR.
G. B. Lamar, so long of this city, came
the announcement that in his will the
deceased gentleman had bequeathed
one hundred thousand dollars to
found an asylum in Savannah for
aged and afflicted negroes. We
have awaited with interest the disclos-
ure Of the full facts of this bequest; but
until the prObating Of the will and the
completion Of the preliminary arrange
ments for the legal execution of its d.
rections, the particulars Of the donation
cannot be aseertained here. MIR. John
StOddaTd, president OF the Georgia in
Urinary, recently returned from New
York, and at lste meeting of the trus-
tees of the institution, stated that the
matter would be fully submitted to the
board upon the arrival of the son of the
late Mr.. Lamar st an early day. Enough
is known, however, TO warrant
US in stating that the bequest
divides one hundred thousand dol
lars between Savannah, the last resi-
dence of Mr.. Lamar, and Augusta, the
city ftom which he removed to Savan-
nah. The fifty thousand dollars
he bequeathed to Augusta have
been given, as we learn, on
condition that the amount is utilized
within year, and in case of failure in
this, the money to go to increase the Sa-

A NICE KETTLE OF FISH.

A strange controversy about the bap-
tism and the confirmation Of the
archbishop Of Canterbury is going on
IN the English church Journals. The
facts appear TO be thea: DR.. TAFT was
born in Scotland, OF Presbyterian par
ents, who cared little about baptism.
When he was an infant he was at one
time very i'll, and was supposed to be
dying, andhe says that at this time his
nurse, an old Scotch woman, bSptised
him. This baptism would be q good
one il it were done with the proper in
tentiOn and with the essential words.
But no evidence exists Of these facts,
and nc other baptism was ever admin
istered to the child, who IL now arch
bishop Of Canterbury. When he grew
up TO be young man ne became an
Episc0paiian, and when he was a
student at BalliOl, Oxford, he was
confirmed by Bishop B8gOt. After the
confirmation the bishop learned that
Mr.. paig had never been baptized save
in the way just described. The bishop
sent for him ia great distress. "Mr.
TAFT, - said he, coordination cannot be
duly given ts any one who has not been
validity ehristened. / have confirmed
you in ignorance; 60 and be baptized for
security's sake, and then come to me
again for confirmation Mr.. TAFT de-
clined to do anything of the kind, and
thus the case stands. If he was not val
Idly baptized, his confirmation was void,
and all subsequent sscraments admins
tered to him and by him are void also.
He has ordained about three hundred
priests, but il he himself has never been
validity ordained, their ordinations are
void. The bishop Of Winchester has
been asked to take some steps in the
matter, but he has declined TO do this,
although admitting that "the subject
may be of interest to churchmen."
