A BEGGAR AND A MISER.
A Paris beggar, who was thought to be penniless, has just passed from earth, leaving a fortune behind him. An old man named"Etienne Rollin, who used to go about the streets offering a few vegetables for sale, and was known as "Father Leek," died of hunger and cold in a garret in the Rue de Montigny. When the police examined his garret, they found £1200 in notes and gold in his mattress.
