SUNDAY IN PARIs.-The Catholic Mirror is
publishing Il series of letters from Europe
written by the Rev. Mr.. Obermyer. The rev.
erend gen ntIeman, speaking of the observance
of Sunday in Paris, remarks:
Amid SO much that is gratifying in Paris,
there is one thing that must shock and SCAN
dalize an American Catholic. 1t IS The awful
desecration OF the Lords day. A person can
with difficulty pei ceiVe any outward diHer-
ence between Sunday and any other day IN the
week Here on Sunday all kinds of servile
work is performed To keep open stores anc
shops is too bad but it is worse 10 see the ma
son laying his stone, the carpenter busy al his
trade, the stone-cutter heWlng his block, the
blacksmith hammering his iron, the cartman
hauling his sand and dirt. the laborer digging
the foundations of houses, The scavenger Clean
ing the streets, and the small hnckster singing
out his little articles. There seems TO be no
rest for man nor beast This open, public vio-
lation of one of the ten commandments with
the at least q quasi sanction OF the rulingauthor-
tiles, cannot but draw downa sconrge from
high Heaven. Even after nighttall many OF
the retail stores On the Boulevard are kept
open.

aged about eighteen, was arraigned before the
Mayor yesterday. 10 answer the charge Of
burglariously entering the hardware store VI
Messrs. Porter, Harris l. Horner, with the in
tention OF committing larceny. Capt. Will
kinson stated that, about half past IL o'clock
last Saturday night, he discovered that the
front cellar door of the store had been forced,
and that after taking the necessary precau-
tion to prevent an escape by the rear way, he
sent two of the watchmen to the cellar, and
found the prisoner sitting on the steps, pre-
tending to be asleep. He was taken 10 the
lookup. and on his person being searched.
iock-pick and a number of matches were
found. Yesterday morning, directly under
the steps, small crow bar was found, which
the prisoner had left there As Capt. WiIkin-
son approached the cellar door, after the lock
had been forced, a young man, doubtless the
sentinel of the burglar, was seen To leap from
the platform into Shockoe creek, and ran Oft.
Martin says he is a native Of New York, and
for his age is the most hardened criminal We
have ever seen. During the time of his i'm
prisonment in the station house, he was ex-
ceedingiy noisy and rude, and seemed TO look
upon the act with which he was charged as ex-
ceedin9ly smart. Not many weeks since the
same fellow was tried and acquitted on the
charge OF stealing money from his employer,
and now he is suspected OF having been en-
gagged in the robbery OF a drug store on Broad
street. He will be further examined this
morning, and then remanded to the Hastings
