QUICK TIME.
a Scheme to shorten the Voyage Be-
tween the New and Old Worlds.

The desire to shorten the time of passage be-
tween this country and Europe has given rise
to a scheme for furnishing continuous railroad
transportation from all parts of this country to
some point on the eastern coast of Newfound-
land, and steamship transportation from!there
to the western coast of Ireland, distance of
only 1,640 miles. 1t is claimed by its adyo-
Gates that this method Of transportation will
reduce, by at least two days, and possibly four
days, the travelling time between New York
and London. The scheme has been quietly ad-
vanced for some time by DR.. Norvin Green OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company; his
son, and A. L. Blockman, until recently the
General Manager of the Newfoundland Rail
way Company. sEarly in the present month
company was organized in New York city for
putting the plan into execution, with DR.. Nor
vim Green as President, and Mr.. Block
man Vice-President. Tho name of
the corporation is the Great American
and European Short Line Railroad Campany.
Charters have been obtained from the Domin-
ion Government and the Government of Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland, and work has been
commenced on what is called the Oxford Divi-
sion of the road, stretch of seventy miles in
Nova Scotia, from Oxford to New Glasgow.
The idea of this line was derived from SINH
lar line JuHb has long Do6u III SuCSobSlul opera
ton in England That line crosses England
by rail from London to the Island of Anglesey,
and connects, by steamer across st. Georges
Channel, with a railroad from Dublin to
Queenstown, where connection is made with
the transatlantic steamship which sailed from
Liverpool ten hours before the train left Lon
don.
The Great American and European Short
Line will run by existing ralroadslfrom New
York by way of Boston, Portland. Bangor and
st. John, New Brunswick, to Oxford, Nova
Scotia where the section already spoken of is
building, thence to New Glasgow, and from
there by the Halifax and Cape Breton Railroad
to the Strait of yCanso From this point the
line will extend to Cape North, 120 miles
distant; across the Narrows OF the
st. Lawrence ffty-six miles by
steamer, and then across Newfoundland, 800
miles, by rail. The Strait of Canso will be
crossed by bridge, and that, as we'll as the road
to Cape North and the road across Newfound-
land, is yet to be built. Passengers will be
conveyed without change of cars to the port on
the eastern coast of Newfoundland, and will
there take steamship for Ireland. The termi-
nus in Ireland will be near the port of Gal
way, and from that place to London there is a
continuous limo of railway, connecting by
steamer across st. Georges Channel, to Lon
don, already in operation. 1t is part of the
company's plan to grun q daily line of fast
steamships both ways between Newfoundland

It's Effects in Central and Western New

It's Effects in Central and Western New
England.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August 24.-The New
England Homestead publishes to-day reports
from about 100 correspondents as to the effects
of the drouth in central and western New
England. Summarizing these reports the
Homestead says: They show the drouth has
been blasting in its effects exceptin Southern
Vermont and the northern part of Berkshire
county, where it has been comparatively little
felt. The greatest injury has been done to
corn which will be less than half a crop. Much
has already been cut for fodder. The season
has been very unfavorable for tobacco, the
great money crop of this section. Reports from
fortyFof the principal tob~ eco growing towns in
Connecticut and the Hou4atonlc valleys show
the crop is two or three weeks more backward
than usual with promise of not over full half
crop though immediate rains and warm
weather may yet improve hundreds OF fields.
Some cutting has been done this week but the
general harvest will not commence before
September 1st. There is a slight decrease In
acreage devoted to tobacco in The Connecticut
valley and an appreciable increase in the
Housatonic country. Less Connecticut seed
leaf and more of the Havana seed variety is
raised this year than previously. Less than
one-sixth of the 1881 crop is still held by grow
ers who ask 15 to 30 cents pound Tor 1t.
There have been recent sales at IL to 70 cents
for seed leaf seconds and Havana wrappers.
The first contract for the 1882 crop has been
made at 20 cents for Havana
Onions will not be two thirds an average
yield; potatoes not half crop; while the ap-
pie crop will not exceed the usual "odd year"
yield. There is no rowen, pastures are mostly
dried and milch COWS are fed at the barn. The
make OF dairy products has fallen off largely
and prices for milk and butter have a decided
upward tendency. Hay, rye and wheat were
good average crops. Oats are somewhat in
jured by rust. Barley is a fair crop but buck
what will ha halOW the average,

Iianon Falls, NEW school House.

Another new school house has just been
completed at this village which makes three
handsome buildings for educational purposes.
At an extra town meeting called in April the
taxpayers of Lisbon voted to appropriate S25C0
for a new school house to be erected in Lisbon
Falls. The contract to build was awarded to
Mr.. Joseph Philbrook. 1t is understood that
the contract price was $21C0. The above did
not include the furniture which is to be put in
by the town.
The school house is two story 42x30 and %
feet posted. The interior is finished in ash
which gives the rooms a bright and cheerful
look The work has been most faithfully
done. In conversation yesterday with the
contractor who has built great number of
churches, school houses and other buildings
he said he had never built one that for its
beauty and sanitary arrangements that was
equal to this. The first floor is for the
primary scholars while the second is for the
grammar school.
The new house is situated on a beautiful
plain, just out of the village, on the Lewiston
road and near the old brick school house
which as been the seat of knowledge for more
than seventy years.
This new building will be an ornament to
the town and speaks well OF the
desire of the people to furnish their
children with all of the best modern improve
ments for the requirement OF knowledge.

THE TARIFF.
Sessions of the Commission Held in Bos

Sessions of the Commission Held in Bos-
Boston, Aug. 24-The tariff commission APP
pointed by President Arthur held its first
meeting in this city at the Hotel Vendome this
morning There were present John L. Hayes,
President, and Commissioners Garland, Am
bier, Kenna, Butler, Porter and Mcmahon,
Commissioners Oliver and Underwood being
absent on business. The commission will
hold sessions here tomorrow andSaturday, and
Sunday visit Rochester, n. Y, for one day.
Commissioner Porter read communication
from tho wine and spirit society of New York
asking for reduction in duty on imported wine
to $1.50 per gallon; on rum and gin to vi, and
on still wines from 40 cents to % cents gall
lon. The present statute levying duties, said
the paper, is the result of an error in Compila-
tion of the revised statutes. By the working
of the present statute the United States is de-
barred from enjoyment of the old brandieS in
their original perfection. A letter from Nor
mand Simpson of New York waS also read re-
lating to Irregularities in the tariff relating to
iron.
John S. Brown was the first gentleman who
appeared from Boston and stated he would
like to speak on iron duties which he said at
present provide for different rates for different
sizss of iron. He would recommend the pas
sage of law which would provide for some
specific duty on all bar, scroll and like descriE-
tions of iron.
S. P. Gates of Cambridge also appeared in
relation TO the tariff on iron ana SAID tnaJ we
cannot at present build an iron steamship in
competition With foreign makers. The diff
ference in cost now is 1t from 10 to 15 per cent.
against American builder
Mr.. Charles P. Lorillard spoke against any
reduction on the subject of duty on gold leaf
and claimed that at present working men are
making only fair living, average wages be-
ing from $12 to SIS per week. Should the
tariff on gold leaf be reduced these men would
be thrown out Of employment The witness
stated furthermore that in Boston only 25 men
were employed and the total number in the
entire country would not exceed 3C0.
Mayor Brothers sent paper recommending
a reduction in duty on cherry juice from %
per cent ad valorem to u cents per gallon
which it is stated will not materially reduce
the duties received by the government.
g. H. Foster & Co. filed communication
asking for changes in the duty on mohair
plushes and all wool upholstery goods from 30
per cent and 30 per cent to 81 pound This
will make government receipts about the same
as now and the reason given is to prevent un-
deryaluatlon.
A number of communications filling out the
blanks sent by the commission were received
this forenoon from New York firms recon-
mending the revision of the tariff in specific
matters dealt in Or owned by the respective
houses. Shortly before twelve the commission
