Driven From Home by Scandal.

Driven From Home by Scandal.
 MIDDLETowN, Feb. 9.-W. s. Marshall, cashier of the First National Bank, left his home last Thursday night under peculiar cir cumstances. Some time since scandal was circulated coupling his name with that of a Miss Langdon. The story was thought to have been entirely refuted Marshall, however, claims, in letters left ex- plaining his departure, that he has been re- gently annoyed by letters threatening re- vival of the scandal, and being of sensitive nature, this preyed upon him so much that he thought everybody was suspicious of him, even to his superiors in the bank. At last he could stand it no longer, and, having conveyed his home to his wife and left her $1, 800, he departed to find some place where the tongue of the scandal-monger cannot reach him. His accounts with the bank are said to be all straight. Marshall has been traced to Milwaukee. It now ap- pears that Miss Langdon went with him to Chicago. She has returned, and says that she did so on his advice, and that nothing criminal has occurred between them.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The cost of addi- tional printing ordered during the extra ses- sion, for which of course no provision was made in the estimates for 1879 80, presented on December 1, 1879, amounts up to about six hundred thousand dollars.

This is necessarily in the nature of deficiency appropriation bill, but Is simply 6 statement of the cost of the extra work ordered and made necessary by the extra session.

The Afghan Tribes-Preparing 10 Ro-
 new HOstiIitiess
 LONDON, Feb. 9.-Dispatches from Cabul state that Mooshki Aim, the old Ghuzni priest whose powerful exhortations have done 50 much to rally the tribes in the vicinity of Ghuzni to the standard of Mahomed Jan, has, in connection with the leader just named, made fresh appeal to the hill men to take up arms against the British in Afghanistan. AL though no serious alliance among them is said to be apprehended, still it is believed that the call may meet with 0 considerable response. The treasuries and magazines of the leaders concerned in the Mahomed Jan movement are said to have been replenished, and it is held to be quite possible that one or more sddi- tional attempts will be made to shake the British strength in Cabui. They have hoist ed the flag of the Barakszais on the battle ments of Ghuzni with the alleged expecta- tion of attracting to it disoontented fanatics who are eager to be led against the British for reasons of faith and religion, and some recruits are announced as having joined the garrison in that fortress. It is also believed that the numerous Sepoys of the late Ameer's army will follow suit. Several prominent British officers are said to have expressed the opinion that it Is foolish to talk of retiring beyond the scientific frontier as long as Ma homen Jan holds out in Ghuzni, as he is in his present position an undisguised menace to the peace of the country. It is also reported that Mooshk Aims agent, the Fakir who was recently engaged in arou5ing the Mahu- munds, is now occupied on a similar mission among the Shinwaris. In case an attack is made by the tribes under the leadership of Mahomed Jan, it is rumored it will take place about the latter part of the present month.

 The discussion of the bill to continue the court of Alabama claims was continued. MT. Rollins argued that Congress had long ago decided against the insurance companies.
 MT. Thurman would not attempt to make an argument on the bill at this time, but would say that for years before the commits sion sat the claims of American citizens were forwarded to our minister at Great Britain. Before the treaty of Washington was adopted President Grant had sent message to Con- gress urging that citizens be paid by the United States the amount of claims so that the claims might be presented to Great Britain.
 MT. Blaine protested in the name of his constituents and in the name of justice against it's passage. The Senator from Ohio pro posed to recognize in the fourth section of the bill a class of claims that were thrown out nt Geneva. He saw justice in them.
 After further remarks by MT. Blaine and Mir. Thurman the Senate went into executive session, and at $40 p. m. adjourned.

 Increased Cost of White Paper -- A
 NIanufacturer's Explanation.
 NEW YoBK, Feb. 9.-During the last few months there has been a great increase in the price of white printing paper, and some of the Western newspapers, including several in St. Louis and the Chicago Times have already advanced their subscription rates in conse- quence. Inquiry as to the character and cause of the rise in paper was made to-day of several prominent publish ing houses and of an extensive manufacturer MT. Hicks, an extensive paper manufacturer, was questioned on the subject. He said that there was no combination at present among the paper makers, although an effort to limit production was made last year, when prices were so low that there was no profit in the busi- ness. During the continuance of these low rates, consumers bought only from hand to mouth," as there was no prospect of a rise. Now, but very few had much paper on hand, and the increased amount of printing, due to the revival of business, created an extensive demand. On account of the character of this demand, the advance in price had been greatest on such classes of paper as were used for printing There had been large increase in the cost of paper stock, both here and in Europe, though there was no combination of the dealers in rags either in this or elsewhere. The supply of rags was limited, both in Egypt and the Baltic ports from which they were shipped. There was no duty upon them, though there was upon manufactured paper. But very lit tie foreign printing paper was now brought to the United States. Most of the mills which had been idle had lately been started anew, and all others were taxed to their full capaci- ty. Since last October the price of paper used for newspapers had increased from three to four cents per pound, and there were no of . decline.
