The fair danseuse was literally pelted with roses. ín one of the wreaths thrown to her there was a pair of diamond bracelets which cost $'1,500. Others contained valuable presenl8. So that tho gross receipts could not have been less ihau from 8 to $10,000. Sho has probably nettcd $20,000 by her engagement in this city. It s doubtful whether she will be re-engaged at the St.j Charles or will dance at the theatre d' Or- leans.
