Nkw York, Aug. 25, 1870.
Uanymede.
One of these days I shall publish a book, entl-
tltled "Ganymede's Handbook; or, Hints to
Walters.' I presume tbat the waiters of Now
York city are no worse than those of any other
City of the Union, but thore are more of thorn,
and r, quanlltlvely, tbey may be said to be
imnh worse. I admire thoir remarkable memo
ries. I do reverence to the charming Infalli
bility with which they occasionally bring you
What you ask for. The tone of tender and polite
egret with which they announce that they are
"just out" of your favorite dish Is worthy of
emulation. They can see twenty-five cents
further off than most people can, and every Ave
mlnu'es tbey will keep moving the castors a
hair's breadth, for the sake of the postage cur
rency they hope for at the end. One of the
mou interesting studies of bumin life is that of
walcVng waiter working for his fee. It Is
almxt as good as seeing an editor pay for
adm'eslou to a place of public entertainment. But
Still your metropolitan Ganymede has his faul ts. I
wonder whether the original Ganymede had
any when the eagle dumped him in the prcsedce
of the gods t The Waiter of the Terlod has the
decidedly unpleasant habit of treating his fore
bead, during the warm weather, as though it
were a plate, and causing his napkin to perform
those services which are generally intrusted to
the confidence of a pocket-handkerchief. When
not engaged in contemplating you, as though
you were a curious work of art on exhibition
f r tli f't't time, he hovers around you as if, by
some mysterious process of metempsychosis, the
oul of a mosquito had passed into him and he
were bcut on irritating yon beyond endurance.
About the Gotham waiter, also, there are various
Other little peculiarities that are too bad to mec
tion. Perhaps it will be sufliclently suggestive
to say that, while engaged In attendance, he
habltua'lv fills up the interstices of time with
such little acts and investigations as most people
limit themselves to in the privacy of the toilet.
Sir Francis Drake's Descendants.
Yesterday a good many people, claiming to be
the defendants of that notorious buccaneer,
Sir Francis Drake, assembled In one of the par
lors of the Brandreth House, at the intersection
of Canal street and Broadway. Gould Sir
Francis have looked down he would perhaps
have been gratified with such a spectacle of
abso'ute disinterestedness. Sir Francis having
1 een dead about 275 years, perhaps he would
1 ave regarded the demonstration as a not alto
gether disinterested tribute to his memory, con
sidering tw much plunder he secured in the
Wit t I'idies and the Spanish Mala, and how he
was bniiC(ueted and knighted by Queen Elizabeth.
Porbnpt be would have been somewhat disap
pointed, however, upon learning that the object
of this convention was not gratitude, hero
worship, or pride of descent, but money, a
sordid hankering after the "prop-utty prop
utty prop-uty" which he is supposed to have be
queathed, and which Is suspected to be unlawfully
kl kO possession of certain parties in England.
The understanding in virtue of which these dc
cendants of the famous freebooter were gath
ered together is that Sir Francis at his death
bequeathed all his property to his brother
Thomas, ond that Thomas, at his death, be
queathed the property to his on five sons suc
cessively, with the proviso that the entire pro
perty should go first to his eldest son, Francis,
and upon Francis' death to Francis' male heirs.
At the lime of Francis' death there were no male
heirs with the exception of a son of Thomas'
second m. but upon opening Francis' will it
Was found tbat he had violated the conditions
upon which the property came into his posses
sion, and had made the will In favor of his
female hi-' is. It Is upon this point that the de
scendants who met yesterday at the Brandreth
House baee ibeir claims. They contend that
the male descendant to whom the property
rightfully lielonged came to this country, and
that they are his lineal representatives. The
object of the meeting was principally to deter
mine how much Interest was felt in the matter,
and to collect money sufficient to commence
legal proceedings.
The Saleswomen.
I do nor know whether or not there is going
on In Philadelphia a movement similar to that
in which the New York saleswomen are at
present Interested. Some of these saleswomen
are worklug so hard to carry tholr points as to
deserve more than ordinary notice, admiration,
and sympathy. Their demands are far from
being ui reasonable. All that they ask for is that
(he ett rct in which they serve shall be closed,
winter u' d summer, at seven o'clock, with the
exception of Saturday evenings. One would
I think that this request was modest enough. It
Is no move than the male clerks asked tor and
bad granted, although tbey bad to fight hard
until tucy obtained their desire. It Is a fact that
has become so common as to cease to be noto
rious that t he saleswomen of New York often work
from elftbt in the morning until ten at night at
wages the average of which may be placed at
five or six dollars. It is no wonder that many
a store girl prefers the "splendid misery" of sin
to virtue und starvation. Under similar cir
cumstances, how many of us would be much
better ? As yet nothing worth mentioning has
been done to relieve the persecution which
many of them still suffer. The persecutors, of
court e. at e sordid men who grow rich upon the
anguish of the weak. The principal workers in
the cauee of the Saleswomen's Early-Closing
Association hope that, with the coming of
September, some good result will make itself
manifest, and that the tortures due to overwork
in winter may be warded off. Am Bab a.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHIL AD EL PnyA;FRID A r, AUGUST 20, 1 870.
Th Ctty Mwatow of the rrottant Eplsooaal
Cnmrhtnthis city publishes a circular, asking for
funds to carry out the design or the mission. A
letter from the Bishop of the Diocese Is subjoined,
calling attention to the great work to be done by
this department. The Bishop's letter also states
that the Rev. Samuel Durborow, formerly rector of
the Chnroh of the Evangelists, has been appointed
Oenctat Superintendent of the c!ty mission work
With him several others will be appointed to labor
in different sections of the ctty as means will per
mit. It is hoped to reach by this method what can
not be reached by the regular parochial organiza
tions. To carry out this plan will require several
thousand dollars, but nowhere could the same
amount of money be better expended. It la ex
pended directly upon the givers, to their Immediate
profit, in their very midst, and In their own street!
and lanes.
The Bishop's letter strongly recommends the new
Superintendent to the generosity of all, bat espe
cially to the remembrance of the members of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. The objects of the
work, as set down by the Superintendent in the cir
cular, are numerous, and embrace the spreading of
the gospel, the planting of places of worship, the
visiting of the sick and poor, the distribution of
money and necessaries, the entertainment, amuse
ment and instruction of the neglected, the providing
of homes and employments, and many other objects
as laudable. Mr. W. W. Frar.er Is treasurer of the
mission. His office Is No. 101 South Front street.
A Yoino Wife's Bbque8T. Wife Charley, I wish
when you come up to-night you'd stop Into your
druggist's and get me a bottle of Plantation Bit
Tkiig. Be sure and get the genuine.
Charley What in the world, Mary, are yon going
to do with Plantation Bitters?
Wife Everybody that 1 know Is In ecstacy over
riautation Bitters, and I am going to try them my
self. I am assured by several of my friends that the
Bitters will cure my dyspepsia, and at the same time
do away with that terrible nausea which you know I
am at times subject to. The doctor was In yester
day, and snys that all I want la a tonic, and that
Plantation Bitters Is the beet that can be got.
Charley It is just the thing, my dear; ana it is
strange that I had not thought of It before.
The Great Enigma A thousand guesses have
boon made at the ingredients of Sozooont, the most
wholesome and perfect dental purifier the world has

throwing a little light on the subject, It Is now an
nounced that the liber, or inner bark of the Quil
laya SArONARiA, the Soap Tree of the Valley of the
Andes, is one of the components of that peerless
dentrlflce.
