Skeleton of Indian is Found.

Augusta, KY, July 3.-While work
men were excavating for a concrete
pavement in front of the old Presby-
terrain church building on Upper
street, this city, the skeleton of an
Indian chief was discovered about
eighteen inches under the ground.
Several implements were found near
the body, and also a hatful OF
beads, denoting his high office. The
beads were made from deer horns,
followed out, and were about one-half
inch long.
The position in which the bdy was
found indicated that the Indian had
been killed in battle. There have
been a number OF Indian skeletons
unearthed in the vicinity OF this old
church building. but none had any
ornaments Of like character OF the
6ne just discovered. IL is believer
that Augusta was a battle ground
for the Indians before the advent
of the whites in this section. as skelc-
tons can be found in almost any Sec
ton of the town.

Brought up in a free soil Repub-
lican household, / had imbibed the no
ton that Phillips was an agitator
who injured the good cause. His as
saults on the Union of States, his
denunciation of the Constitution, and
his attacks upon Lincoln all combin-
ed to foster this idea.
Later, as | began to think for my
self, these early impressions were
strengthened by Phillips support OF
Butler and Buffers candidacy for
Governor OF Massachusetts. by his
zeal for the negro governments of the
South, by his praise OF assassination
in the case OF the Car, in his Phi
Beta Kappa speech, and by his reck-
less diatribes against everybody who
crossed his path. He was in truth
an Ishmael, and his hand was against
every mans. When Judge Hoar. on

the general feeling about Phillips.

full voice, | think, that | ever heard.
The well-known anecdote of Lord
Morpeth and Mr.. Tieknor gives the
best idea Of .he way Phillips appear
ed so far as mere exterior went. Lord
Morpeth was in this country in 1912.
In Boston he stayed with Mr.. Tick

made a business of seeing every one
of note. He, therefore, very natural
