LANCASTER, JUL!' 21. 15n. Custom Heuse Reforms. One of the eases which the llepiiblicans have been harping upon as injustice te n geed official, discrimination against a brave soldier and violation of what nre called the president's "civil sen x reform pledges," was the removal of Jehn F. lliutranit, from the collectership of customs in Phila delphia; and the appointment te succeed him of Jehn Cadwalader. The new collec tor has been the subject of unremitting at tack from the Republican organs, and nothing that malice, malignity and men dacity could And or invent has been spared te break down the new administration. Beth of these lines of dLscttssienjire at once met and answered by the plain, busi-ness-llke statement which tlie collector makes of the operations of his office for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1SSG. The last twelve-month lias net been a year of spe cial business activity ; and the highest effi ciency and integrity of the new administra tien could net show the results set forth in this report, unless by comparison with a previous administration grossly lacking in ene or both of these qualities. The integrity and economy of the past iiinistratien are at once challenged by the comparison that the number of days for which absentees received pay in a year of Ilnrtranf t's exclusive control was four fold that of n year in which Mr. Cadwalader had entire direction of the custom house management. But even this is net sufficient te explain the enormous decrease en the cost of col lecting duties from 3.12 per cent, under Hartrauft te 11.70 per cent, under Cad walader. Why u I.epublicati administra tion should cost ever 113 per cent, meie than a Democratic is one of the things Mr. Cadwalader was appointed le find out. There Las bee.i an incre.ue in imports from $20,019,010 te iSViMl.'m; and of duties collected from $li,i!U,el.l.:tf te $1 1, Ml ,890.01 ; besides an increase in the amount of duties due the United States en merchandise lying in the warehouse at the close of the year from $7.S..,32ti.27 te $!)"),. 173.0S. In the same period the expenses of collection were decreased from 612S,.S.'iti.'i0 te $103,571.71. It will be very hard te convince anybody that these figures de net show cause for suspicion of something mero serious than a weak and inefficient administration of Col lector Hartrauft. Ne was notoriously an unlit man for the many high positions he held, lint this impregnable showing of undeniable figures has a broader significance than te point his individu.il incempetency. It shows reform metheds of a business :u). ministration that business men can umlei stand and honest people appreciate. Enemies of the Ituce. At last one point in the dogma of the Chicago Anarchists is discovered whereon everybody can heartily agree with them. It Is said that at a meeting held last October they adopted the following resolution " Death te the enemies of the human race, our despoilers. " Certainly, by all means death te them. AVIie are they V Where are they ? It is intimated that these ene mies of the human race are human beings and therefore must be enemies of them selves as members of the human race. All will agree that such an enemy should be promptly killed and stuffed. These enemies are a natural monstrosity of extremely rare occurrence and modern history has few recorded. Attila and his Huns, Xere, Call mla or any ether monster of antiquity, teia should appear en the btage in the -enM- century would be promptly 'nd if the Anarchists havn Seven Laucaiu euemiesef the human lace - j- as clearly stamned. noenln in general would cheerfully aid in their do de do '""itructien before the court can appoint a commission te determine their insanity. The Anarchial resolution sounds very much like the cry of " step thief, " that a Hying rascal raises te threw lib pursuers off the track ; and if there be any enemies of the human race they nre the nieii whose creed is anarchy and whose only mission is te attack the officers of the law with mur derous intent. These officers are a part of thebanier raised by the human race in America for their protection against their enemies, law lessness and diserderand by opposing them the Anarchists declare themselves. A Vicious l'rlueipal. ihe decrease in the rate of tax en oleo margarine by the Senate from five te two cents a pound may te some comprehensiens mitigate the ettensiveness of the measure ; but it in no degree changes the quality e it nor affects the fundamental principle in- of the bill te be a fraud, when they intro duce it as a revenue measure and entitle It as such, and yet in the discussion frankly avow it is really intended te suppress oleo eleo olee margaino and enhance the price of butter. The constitutional immorality of styling ii bill ene thin:;, when it is In fact nnniiu.r " " worse than the business immorality of ielling buttcriue forgeuuine dairy product.

The eldor residents of the upper part or the country will need but the mention or their notiie te rival 1 them te thelr memory. It Is new many i ears since the eungest or the family died, and though there aroseioralor their de-veud.iuU still residing iu the community w hem they Hi oil, novertlioloj they are ordinary, common people, attracting no mom attention than the common run et hutiianlti. The fiuiily et which we write was the 'Leng lamtly, lltly named as en w ill presently hce. They w ere colored. When old lucent Applegate lelt NewJemeyaud sought a home In Western I'eiinylianl., and was one of the tlrst set tiers in the lerks or the two rivers, taking up a large tract el laud, he brought the Leng family with hlui. Though slauvs were com mon te the plantations of New Jersey, yet the Iengs were net stales. They hid always been rree, and had been iu the serilce et the Applcgates. The rather or the l.uuily et which we write, bad ceme with these pplc gates from New Jersey. There was nothing iu any way remarkable about tills particular Letilg, lier about the colored girl betook le wire alter he had be be be eoeo a fixture in the new settlement and had by dint of hard work gotten tiltuclf a goodly portion of the new land. He was a goeil lliptlM, exhorted his brethren ecc islenally, auu was as nappy u eoiereu man as ceuiu de found anywhere. Hut as te'iisrauilly Pour sons and four daughters, li..e like was nei or before in the Leng family's ontlre his tory, c.iuie and grew te such an enormous size that peer, old man Leng, as the years went by, was lest in darkey wonder ever the thought et tils family's greatness, for truly they were se. Their great ness consisted iu their enormous sire, particularly in their height Adding up the heights of the eight children, they reached the alarming figure et ll.ty-MX feet lour Inches, and adding the heights et the father and mother, sixty-eight leet two inches. Truly the latuily had been well named the "Leng" family. In respect te the weight of the family, it was fully as remarkable a total as was that of thelr height. It reached the enormous sum et 2, seu pound?. It is doubt, fill II there has ever been a family iu modern times with such a record. Of the family, Heuben, ene of the younger sons was the most remarkable. He was seven feet four Inches in height, aud weighed M) i juuds. Hewas a giant net only In appearance, but in physical streugth. Till- Ut INT Ol TIIKU III. Heubeu I eug was ler in my years, m tact up te the time of his death, which occurred about 1S.V, employed en the Torrenco farm In Perward township. He was married but had no children. His home wai a leg cabin, and It still stands en the old (arm. Mr. James Terrence, the postmaster at liamble postelllce, and the present owner of the farm, was seen by the writer at his home and gaie some interesting particulars et the liioer the great giant. Mr. Terrence was a young man when Iteuben died and had mauy opportuni ties of seeiug lust what feats of strength he could perform. "Possibly," said Mr. Terrence, "there has never been as strong a mau lived as Heuben Leng, excepting Sampson, of course. Ne one ever knew hew strong he was. He was such a quiet, peaceable lellew that alt the coaxing we could de would net get him te exert himself te his utmost strength. It was only when he had a tew drinks in him that we could get any fun out of him. Heuben, for all he weighed IJ0 pounds, had net an ounce of extra llesh ou him. He was bone aud muscle, and was as active as au athlete. I remember ene day we were at the barn, three or four of us, aud were trying with hand-spikes te put the horse power machin ery of a thresher ou a wagon. It weighed about 1,100 pounds We couldn't get it up. Directly Heuben came down the read and stepped te watch us tugging at the machine. " ' What's ills you childen tryin' te de h var,' he said ivs he looked ei er the crowd. 'New jlst stand back dar an' giie de ole man a chance, w ill ycr,' and planting lilmseirt irtuly lui raised that machine and put it en thowngen as easily as i ceuiu uaie put up two hundred iwunds 1" iiki iikv wnii his i.irri.k ( itim.i:. livery one Hi lug In the neighborhood or the Leng family has heard et what Heuben has lieeti able te de in the hariest Held iu fact the whole family, oien down te thegirls, were accustomed le cut the hariestier the (armors round about, doing such au incredi ble amount et work th it you would hardly credit it, were it net that the elder people of the neigh borheoil saw it done who are always ready te vouch for the truth of the stories. " 1 Knew of otie instance el Heuben's mar mar mar loleuswork," said Mr. Terrence, " that I suppese has noier been equalled by any man. Heuben had frequently sudthat he could cradle twelie iwres of eats in a dav. It was disputed iu the neighborhood, and one day Heubeu came eer le our house and said he would like te cut our eats. We had a Held that had been surveied and winch con tained just tw olio acrus and u fraction ever. Heubeu said that he would go Inte that Held the next morning at sunrise and cut it betore the sun went down. I was a small boy then, and Heuben get me te carry water and whisky te him. In these days whisky was lery necessary iu hariusl All that day that big giant went slashing round and round that Held, stepping at the corners aud taking huge drinks et whisky and water, and fully an hour belore sundown he had cut the last swartu. It was the most wonderful feat eier Hrlormed. When you step te think that it was the work et three geed cradlers, you will haie au idea of this man's strength." thu vamiia as htniiiBKt. m N,ri:us. "I remember one morning," continued Mr. Terrence, "we were sitting at breakfast when there was a wonderful racket down among the chestnut trees boleiv the heuse. We ran out and went down te the weeds. Thore we found Houben nnd his three brothers ston ing squirrolsen the tops of the high chestnut trees. These lellew s could Like stones that would weigh four or live pounds and threw them Inte the tops or the trees as straight as a gunshot almost. I saw Heubeu pick up a stene that would weigh live pounds and knock a squirrel rrem a limb fully soyenty seyenty soyenty live toot from the ground. He did it like It was the easiest thing iu the world te de. In less than fifteen minutes, these rellews had killed eighteen squirrels and the eighteen would hardly maue them a breakfast they were such big eaters." Although the Lengs had noier been slaies they lived In constant fear that they would lie kidnapped and taken Seuth. They noier could lie induced te be away from home after night. Ne dillerence where they were work ing they would always arrange te get home before nightfall, and ir by any uiuioidable circiiuislanceH they were detained away arter night, they would always get ttome or their neighbors te go home with them. One night, howeier, Heubeu was delayed. He had been at Monengahola City and had par taken of tee much of ihe " Monongahela llye" te have his wits about him. Haifa nille from home, he leuud himself in the dark, aud with three men en horses coming iipioryclesotohim. Iteuben was terribly frightened. The inen rede pist.

As they (Mtne within reach Heuben's arm was swung. ears borere, conscious et his strength, he had vowed that he noier would hit a man with his list lest he kllled hlui. Asthese men came up he struck them with his open hand. Lach stroke as It fell upon the slde orthelacosonta mm Hying as though a in. cometlvo had struck hlui. Heuben stepped imminent and loekod at the prostrate and sonseiois forms et the three men, hiuI then the thought struck him that he had kllled them. He lushed te a neighbor's house for help, and with It came bsck te see what had Imieii done, but they had found nothing. The men had been only stunned unit had gotten away lu as hasty a manner as they could. Houben was never molested again. HOMi: MAHVKI.OL-H FKATS.
