| A "Reminiscences Of the old Days 0f Is2s.
Those OF our oldest citise ns@a and they must be
very od-will doubtless recall that veteran and
courteous old gentleman, Samuel Livsrmore,
who for 30 long time snvened our city during
the good old days OF Is. He WAS man Of keen
observation and strict business habits, and his
aeumen was seldom faulty in on investment. To
come to the circumstance we are about to relate
1t was about 1880, when the Fourth District was
one broad meadow for lowing kline, that Liver
more heard that Madame Livaudas was anxious
to cell her plantation. Madame Lvaudsis, 10
will DO recalled. lived In what was afterwards
termed the "hauated house, on Washington,
corner Of Tchoupitouas street. She had for y
long time been anxious TO dispose Of her plantation
the limits OF which embrace now almost the
whole of our Garden District. Few takers we're
found for the place. aud for some months il was
. question whether IL would be sold or not.
Samuel Livermore appreciated the aituation. and,
gathering as many OF bis fnoDied friends together
as he eouiG muster. hs went mp TO Madame
Livsu1eis. The party was received with all the
attention every guest at our Creole mansions
always are rendered, and after aiaesting q good
dinner ell adjourned 10 the terrace roof and after
emei Cling from the observatory The broad fields
Of cane OF tho Livaudaia and Douligny plantations
were epread before the eye. Livermore, looking
down TO what was then the old city, called his
intimate friend Mr.. Cole, and. stretching out bis
bropzed hand, said You see this broad plain
of cane and grass. This will be the garden por-
ton Of that city, pointing TO what was then the
confined limits of New Orleans. "hIr. Cole. lot
lie SECURE Madame Ldyaudais' plantation. and
there's money for u.s."
A stock company was shortly formed, Madame
Livaudsis' place was purchased, and the now
densely populated neighborhood was offered on
the market. Purchasers were ready aud they
came early, and in very short time the best
corner 10 Q were taken up. The stock company
that bought Madame Livaudais' place made
money and those who purchased from the com.
psny did likewise. From vast field OF waving
cane and corn the Fourth District became the
centre of settlement. and to-day IL attests the
foresight Of its founder, SAMUEL Livermore.
