(By BION H. BCTIJER.) Did it ever occur to you that Flor ida is tbe only State on the Atlantic side of the United States that has a longer sea coast line than North Car olina? California on the West, and Wash ington, If the devious windings of the Puget Sound are considered, sur pass the coast line of North -Carolina, although if the wandering line of the sounds be considered In North Carolina it may exceed that of Wash ington. But granting to California and Washington, a greater coast line than North Carolina, and they are the only two states' of the Union thai have that other natural charm, tho high' mountains to such an extent as North-Carolina, unless we leave the coast and go far into the Interior. North Carolina has nrty peaks that are over six thousand feet high. A dosen peaks are higher than any thing else this side of the Rocky Mountains. , . The New-. England States have mountains, but no mountains like those of North Carolina.- -The mlddlo States have small mountains. The lake country has some high land. If you will notice the way the Uni ted States is laid out you will see on one side of the continent la Califor nia mountains and sea coast, on the other side of the continent ia North Carolina, mountains and sea coast, two statea that have the bis; share of the outing facilities for the people ot the growtnr country. - - - This is a great - country now of nearly a hundred, minion inhabitants.
