a ROMANTIC STORY. Tho following
story is told by the Galveston (rexus}
Commercial, OF man who was sent 10
the penitentiary of thnt State a week
ago; "He is German of noble birth.
His uncles and brothers distinguished
themselves in the late Franco. German
war; they were high in rank, and live
in princely pomp. Yet this brother,
perhaps Of morals rs good as the best OF
his family, will for two years live in the
Texas Penitentiary. This young man
seems to have been the favorite of his
mother, but the hated of his father. He
was sent to tho first schools of Germany,
and is proficient in ancient nnd modern
languages; but lie Was allowed to spend
money at random, being taught nothing
that Is useful When of age, he was
given few thousands and sent to this
country. He,c We may promise. that
while the young man is neither crazed
nor fool, he does lack that which is
called gumption. He married woman
who, after season, deserted him. From
the time of his desertion, he became q
wanderer. Being sick, he returned to
Germany, aud was sent by his family tc
the most celebrated springs in Germany
and when he was fully restored, they re
turned him to this country, with sufli
cient to have established hin, in a small
business, but lie wasted all-and it i.
strange that he did so, for he does no
appear to be addicted to any of the
money -eating vices. Reduced to beg
gary, he walked from Mobile to New
York, hunting employment. Then h1
got back to Galveston. Here he actet
as scullion in a fourth rate boarding
house, waiting on the table and cleaning
knives. While engaged in this work, b,
stole two watches, worth 81, and OIL
being charged with it, he confessed the
offence, and begged the recorder TO sen,
him 10 the pcnitentiary, that he nigh
loarn traue and be able TO snrpor
himself. He told Tho recorder, that i
he was not sent to the pcuiten!iary
where he could learn IL trade, he woui,
go out and commit some crime tna
would send him there. He was ,ll
most anxious nial to get in Jail We eve
saw. We hope that his residence Il
huntsville will be productive OF nj th,
good he anticipates from it, and tha
when he leaves it. lie will be IL self-sup
porting, respectable citizen"
