All the crew could nut come bul On Monday n,gh epulaiI'n was sent to the theatre upon her iruttion. The sailors raised cry for the charming danseuse, and ln few moments she appeared, when tar rose' an addressed her as follows:
 " Mad'He Easier: rise in behalfo my shpmates, the crew of the Columbus, to give you our most sin cere thanks for this noble act of generosity In our mid-watches at sea, this night will often rec'r to us of the ha piest of our iives We one and all, join in wishing you prosperity and happiness. Long may you live enjoy life and delight the heart oi the sailor"
 When the applause ceased, Mad'lIe Elsser adyan- ced, and with winning and touching pathos, said: " 1 thank you warmly for your good wishes know your lives rough, and your work Is hard and 1 have given you cheerful hour--it is Il happy thought for me. 1.-The saiors here gave three hearty cheers.] lwilll long remember the Columbus and her gallant crew."
 After the sailors had given her three cheers, Els Ter again advanced, and with her finger raised, addet with witchng archness that electfical-" AnC don't you forget me-" Cheer upon cheer followed concluding with three times three.
 Such is the Boston Posts account of the matter | We glad that the editor find consolation fol the loss of his uniform in the electricity of switching archness." Lightning may be a very good substi ute for blue faced with buff and silver. On the re suit of the late election, the Post merely says-"Ann you may fold up that unform.'
