To Preserve Na,mra, Flowers.


1t is n curious fact. defying explana
lion, that one woman can wear natural
flowers much longer without their fad

them and gives them the same care and
attention. A bunch of roses will do
duty on more than one occasion for ono
lady and will most ungraciously fade and
droop very soon after another Indy pins
them in her corsagc.
Ladies who find it difficult to preserve
the blossoms and leaves they delight SO
much in wearing as garniturc to even

much longer without fading if they sur

A Youth Invents a Cement Pavement.

Master Rufus c. Bush, aged seventeen
years, and one of the most diligent and
promising students of the Tulane
University, has invented cement pave
ment which, so it is asserted by en-
perienced men who have examined it,
can be laid cheaper than any cement
pavement yet invented. The young man,
who has devoted considerable tine to
the study of chemistry, some time since
concluded to experiment in making
pavements and made many mixtures,
mono of which appeared to satisfy him
until few weeks ago, when he found
one which hardened quite rapidly and
became exceedingly strong and solid
and without doubt durable. The
formula is of course kept secret and
patent has been applied for. The pave
mcnt, it is said, can be used for street as
well as sidewalk paving.
The youthful inventor is the son of
r. Charles Bush of this city, and is

Two Ded,cations.

In addition to the Synod meeting which
opens in Moline June z. there will be the
dedication of the bodybuilding and com,
mencement exercises at Augustana Col
lege. The principal public examinations
are on June and 5; commencement and
annual concert of conservatory on June
6; dedication of new building and chorus
concert on June IL. The Rev. w. 8.
Marquis, this city, and the Rev. G. A.
Swensson, of Kansas. will be the chief
speakers at the dedication, both speaking
in England.
In this connection too. they are to
have an interesting dedicatory ceremony
in Moline on June 8. during the progress
of the Synod meeting-being no less than
the dedication of the Swedish Lutheran
church. Pastor Lindeblad has always
held that it is not just the thing to give
anything away until it is your own. A
dedication of church, he holds, is q
giving of it to God. The church here
has only recently been paid for. Now
that it belongs to the church people to
give away, the dedication will take place
on the date named.

NYhladh AUain

A Moliner who has just returned from
Galesburg, informs the Dispatch that
Anna Anderson, the victim of Nybladh's
wies. is now stopping at the house of
Rev. Z. G.. Haterius, in that city. Crowds
of visitors were calling to see her, and to
learn of Nyblsdh's guilt. The Repu6Ii-
can,Register of Wednesday evening said:
Anna Anderson. the young Swede
woman who claims that the so-called
Reverend Nybladh is the father of her
child, is now IN the city. She is pre-
possessing young woman, and the child is
a bright young girl of two years of age.
She made oath Tuesday before Esquire
Holcomb that Nybladh is the father of
her child. What further proceedings are
contemplated, if any, we are not in
formed. We learn that Nybladh has
never paid her but $50, and she has had
to support herself and child by hard
work, to say nothing of the disgrace
heaped upon her. If the many followers
Of Nybladh in this city, who are so free
in the giving of their money for his sup
port, would contribute few hundred
dollars for the support of Anna Ander-
son and her child, they would do most
charitable act.
