No multitude of clerks, no system of scrap-books, can begin to keep pp with them. ! Hundreds of thejw contain marked articles, which the able editors have written with great care, and containing valuable suggestions in regard to Cabi net making, Civil Service reform, the southern question, etc., all of which the able editors aforesaid expect the President-elect to read carefully and luwardly digest. His inability to open thousands of these marked papers cause s a daily hs of suggestion, advice and admoniiiou the enormous value of which can only be properly estfrnated, by. the writers thereof. : Mentor has two PosUfEccs. The one at which General Garfield recJves his mail i West Mentor, and L. H. Luse, M. L., the village physician, is the PustmaMer. Six mails arrive and de part daily, and every one of them brings a large amount of matter for General Garfield. The Pcstoffice is half a mile distant from General Garfield's resi dence, and he olten goes thereon horse back and carries home a sack of mail oii the pommel of hi paddle. The General is a good horseman, aud his mauly form snows to good fdvantsge in the ?addle. I have seldom seen a more rtriktng figure (ban (his "man on horseback" presents as he gallops down the road, erect and .graceful in the saddle as a trained jcavalryraan, but drffscd like a plain farmer, and the broad brim of his slouch hat Happing in the wind i His neighbors never lire of gazing at him as heTpasses by in this and hu unissuqitng manners help sto confirm t'nem in the belief which they most devoutly cherish! and which they emphatically declarf On every proper occasion, that 'he is the greatest man in the wofld." i ; . i if The cUitr day General Garfield de sired to sec a gentleman who lives in a remote part of the toWn, 'and went to his house on horseback,' Hiding up to the gate he hillqed jin the familiar manner which is customary among neighbors in this country, and the lady of the houie came to! the door. .The horseman inquired whether her hus band was at home, and being told that he was not, requested the lady tp tell him tp call at his (the 'speaker's) house to see about a certain 'matter of busi ness. The lady had-Bevcr seen Gen eral Garfield, except on public occa sions, and in his farmer's garb, she did not recognize him. "f you will tell me where you live," she answered, "1 will tell niv husband to call at your house.
