This is Thanksgiving day. We are
glad to see the observance of this day
is becoming more general at the
South, as it has long been at the
North. Even if we regard it merely
as holiday, it is desirable that the
people should enjoy festival in the
fall season; but more or less the oc-
casion always brings with it ideas
pertinent to the purpose of its in
stitution, and even though thanks
givings find no formal expression,
yet the sentiment pervades the day,
and we all feel better because of it.

The story goes that the head of Liberty
on the Bland dollar was modelled from
the head OF q fair Philadelphan, the
contour of whose features are purely
Grecian. Before the pattern was finally
decided upon, George Morgan, the en-
graver, sent it to the academy to get the
opinion of some artists as to its artistic
merits. Tie profile was criticised in
several particulars, chief among which
was regarded as too prominent chin.
But the authorities at the mint thought
it one of the most beautiful types of
faces that was ever submitted for the
head Of q coin, and it was adopted. Mr..
Morgan, by the way, is an Englishman,
and some people insist that he has man.

dollar. By holding the coin with the
date uppermest, and covering the figure
with the finger on q line across the eye to
the hair, the profile develops likeness
of King George, the chin being his nose.
