A LITERARY Succession. --Longiellow
Emerson, Whittier, Holmes, Lowell
what are We TO do for authors when these
are gonoV Who is in succossion2 On
whom will their mantles fall' These
questions are often asked in a despondcnt
tone, as II American literature wero to die
with these representative names OF lbs
present period. For one answer TO them
IL il enough TO ask whether American lit
erature died with Irving, and Cooper. and
Poef And II this is not enough, other
answers are by no means wanting.
One such other ia that in literature
achievement is seldom repeated, and there.
FORE fame il seldom duplicated. There
has been but one Homer. one Dante, ono
Chaucer, ono Spencer, one Shakespeare,
one Milton. Each individual genius makes
his own mark in his own place, and passes
away. No one copies himself thereby not
a genius. II is not TO DO expected. II il
not TO bo desired, that we should have
new Longfellows, Emersons, Whittiers
Lowells, Holmeses We do not want
their sacred touch to become common
performance Their followers must stride
new paths Tor themselves.
There is another thought Great fames
may be rising around us which we arc too
near to measure. The older generation Of
American authors, OF which Bryant was
one. have been before us so long as TO bo.
fore us so long as TO become invested with
some OF the shadow grandeur Of the his
torical parsonage. The present public
has grown up, as il were. into their pres
ence 1t found them in possession Of the
field. They we're already OF the past, and
the past is venerable. They were before
the war, and the war has showed the year
that proceed it back into an honorable
antiquity, Ours is a new era, II can not
yet be that the men who belong TO tho
new era-Howellscs, the Aldriches. tho
the Jameses, the Scudders,
the Fawcetts should seem to bo Of the
same stature with the men OF the old.
They are too near US, We touch them
daily. They are bono OF our bono and
flesh Of our flesh. But for the generation
which shall come after, they may DO loom
ing up into the proportions which other
figures wear to day. They have not yet
assumed the historical perspective whose
ines alone determine fame.
But there is another thought still. We
shall never know a. wise and thoughtful
'holar said to us one day, how much the
,ivil war dec mated our literary ranks
Ours is thinned-out generation. We arc
Inc one armed soldier Our best members
re missing. Poets, ossayists, historians.
in the embryo, bright prom.
SEES OF future performance, were cut down
n tho days Of 1906. We shall never
Snow what American literature lost in the
osses Of those terrible years. Perhaps
here must be an interregpum Of medioc-
'ity until the youth Of to-day have attain
d thor capacity Of tomorrow.

MadiSOn,

On Tuesday, January 4, there was fellow ship meeting held in the Congregations church embracing the churches in the New Haven East consociation. Rev. Mr. Clark of East Haven, preached in the forenoon In the afternoon there was a discussion en- tered into by several clergymen and laymer from Fair Haven, Branford, Guilford and Clinton.
 The week of prayer is being observed here Meetings are held every afternoon in the Congregational church.
 Rev. Mr. Gallop preached his annual New Years sermon on Sabbath morning. It was interesting and the statistics which he gave are very desirable to have. One item which we will notice was the fact that there have been twenty-five deaths in South Madison during the past year. Miss Emily Kelsey. who for many years past has been confined to her bed from sickness, and who has recently so far recovered as to be able to get about a little and to be present at church on one oc- casion, we learn, was so unfortunate a few days since as to fall and break her hip, there by adding another afiietion to the great one of her life.
 It is expected that there will be a large spread of the measles in this vicinity this winter, as there have been many exposed. The cases at present reported are J. M Hull Joseph Kelsey and John Mclean.
 C. M. Miner $ Son are receiving large quantities of timber into their shipyard. which looks toward building before very long.
 Mrs. Norman G. Scranton fell while en- gagged in trimming the Methodist church for Christmas, and injured herself quite severely, but we understand not seriously
 Those people who have ice houses to fill. we observe, are improving the present oppor- tunity to secure supply, and Lucas Pond seems to be considerably cut up.
 There have been not few hogs raised in Madison the last season. MT. Oscar Stannard has killed about 60. besides large number killed by other butchers. The largest vet reported as killed by Mir. Stannard was one raised by J. Sherman Buell., weighing 641 pounds. Several others have weighed over 800 pounds.

CoUGHs.-Browns Bronchial Troches are used with advantage to alleviate coughs, sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affections For thirty years these troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but having been tested by wide and constant use by nearly an entire generation, they have attained well merited rank among the few stable remedies of the age.
 THE THRoAT.-Brown's Bronchial Troches act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the throat and larynx, restoring healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over exertion of the voice, and produce clear and distinct enunciation- Speakers and singers find the troches useful
 cough, cold, catarrh or sore throat re- quires immediate attention, as neglect often times results in some incurable lung disease Browns Bronchial Troches will almost inva- riably give relief. limitations are offered fo- sale, many of which are injurious The genr uine Browns Bronchial Troches are sold only in boxes. d23 t, ,th, f 1tw

 A telegram from Representative Thorpe, received last evening, announced that Jas. E. Smith had been nominated by the Repub- hcan caucus for doorkeeper of the House of Representatives. MT. Smith, who is veter- an of Go. K, 18th regiment 0. ", was wound ed in the late war and receives a pension from the government, is worthy of the posi- ton, and his many friends of both political parties will rejoice at his appointment
 The Ladies' Benevolent society will hold their first meeting for 1881 at the house of MT. Payson B. Orcutt on Thursday after noon. The announcement of the meeting calls to mind circumstance which is said to have occurred at one of these tsocieties's many years ago. One of our oldest citizens. whose golden wedding and eightieth birthday are things of the past, had in his ella- ploy the late Thomas F. Hamilton, of New Haven. One day when the society was in session at the house, Hamilton and his employers son, while working to- gether in the field, caught rabbit The cap ture suggested to Hamilton 8 joke to be played on the ladies. Accordingly large yellow pumpkin was procured and dug out, and bunny was imprisoned inside with just breathing hole in concealed place When he returned to the house Hamilton entered the room where the ladies were at work and offered to make any animal which they would all agree upon come out of any vegetable they would furnish.

One animal after another was proposed and objected to, some because they were too large, others because they were not of nature suitable to mingle with the ladies, until at last all agreed upon rabbit. Then the boy who was in the secret was called in and told to go and bring in vegetable. Of course he selected the pumpkin, and it was soon set upon table in the midst of the ladies. Then Hamilton procured long knife, uttered a few uninteligible sentences, and rlunging the knife into the pumpkin released bunny who ran around the room and caused so much excitement that the society broke up and the host uttered this sentiment: 'sThe very devil; I'll not sleep in this house tonight The story is furnished your correspondent by one to whom Hamilton himself told 1t. The boy, who is said to have furnished the pumpkin when it was called for, now and for many years past has held important town offices.
