jackson Square and the Creole Quarter of
Other Days.
Let us turn back to the French mar
xet. For there is beautiful, quaint old
Jackson Square, and behind it the twin
spires of st. Louis cathedral, both of
them just where Bienville staked out
the ground for them hundred and
seventy-five years ago. He called the
square land it was SO called for more
than century, the Place d'Armes.
The plan was for six streets to run be-
hind the square parallel with the river
bank, with six crossing them at right
angles on the squares left, and six
others doing the same on its right, the
whole having the levee in front and
wall of earth and palisades on the other
three Sides Certain streets even yet
show by their names where this old
wall and its moat were-Canal street,
Rampant, Esplanade-making what is
still called the ''vieux carre," the old
square. This is but slender fraction
of the present Creole New Orleans
below Canal street; but it is the old,
the historic Creole quarter; and there
was not much more than this even
when Claiborne, the young Virginian,
was the first governor of the state OF
Louisiana, and Andrew Jackson, the
savior of New Orleans, parleyed, in
wonder room whose windows still look
out upon the old square, with La
fitte, the pirate of the Gulf of Mexico,
and accepted his aid to drive back the
British invader. Now the long, thin
city stretches up and down the bends
of its river harbor twelve miles and
more, and promises ere long to have a
quarter of million inhabitants.
Just behind the ''vieux carre, and
facing Rampant street midway between
Canal and Esplanade, just as jackson
Square faces the levee, is a piece OF
public ground whose present name Of
Congo Square," as somebody says
"stin preserves a reminder of its ole
barbaric pastimes." For here it il
