Notwithstanding the fact th;it but little has been said concerning the event, there will assemble today in the house of representatives a very dis? tinguished gathering to celebrate the centenary of the American Congress. The diplomatic corns. 300 strong, will be present in all its wealth of braid and equipage, and a specially in? teresting feature will be the presence of properly accredited representatives of all the other republics on the conti? nent?namely? Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Salvador.Hon? duras, the United States of Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Chili, Uru? guay. Paraguay, Ecuador, the Argen? tine Republic, Brazil, Kayti and San Domingo. The international marine conference which has been in session in Washing? ton, will also contribute its distin? guished membership to add increased eclat to the assemblage. The governors of the thirteen origi? nal states are likewise to be in attend? ance, and the chief executives of the younger commonwealths are also likely to be present. All iu all it will be a very notable gathering of the most distinguished representatives from every state and nation of the civilized world. Both houses of congress and the su? preme court will he present, and the oration of the day will be delivered by Chief Justice Fuller. Many have beeu the changes which have taken place since the first congress met, just a century ago today. A handful of struggling commonwealths has become a great nation of forty free and independent states. The growth of the country and the remarkable development of its various important interests, is amply exempli? fied iu the congress itself, which as? sembles today to do honor to its cen? tennial anniversary. From a few score of representatives the number has passed beyond 300. The exercises of the day though unheralded with as much fuss and feath? ers as is customary, will be none the less au important chapter in our coun? try's history. CHEAP IRON. Our vivacious little contemporary, the Bristol Courier, says: "Colonel Shook says iron caji be made cheaper at Birmingham, Ala., thau at Pi Us burs, Pa. As Birmingham gets its coke from Pccahontas, Va., there is no reason why iron should not be made cheaper at Bristol, Tenn., than at Birmingham, Alabama,'' and by the same token, there is no reason why iron should not be and is made cheaper at Roanoke than at Birmingham. The superior advantages of this city's location for the production of cheap iron, could not have been more forcibly presented, when our proximity to the coke of Pocahontas is taken into con? sideration, than it is in the above par? agraph taken from our Bristol contem? porary. Merit" Wins. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr King's New Discovery for Consump? tion, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Buek len's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory re? sults do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popu? larity purely on their merits. Bud well & Christian, druggists. Mr. Alexander McDonald, of the Virginian, has been notified by the department of agriculture at Wash? ington that the French authorities have awarded him a diploma and medal for the satisfactory manner in which he discharged his duties as United States special commissioner, in working up the tobacco exhibit for the Paris exposition. This is a high compliment, but eminently deserved by our neighbor.?Lynchburg News.

Mr. Ribb will therefore "go." That is all right, but why did not Mr. Wanamaker speak as plainly in the beginning. Norfolk Virginian. Saved From Consumption.
