A singular fact has been recently devel-
oped in Paris. The parish register in that
city recording the marriage of Napoleon
with Josephine, states Napoleon's actual
birth day not as August Is, 1869, as re-
ported by himself and given in all his
biographies, but as February 5, 1858. The
register Of the marriage, signed by Napo-
leon and Josephine, is attestod also by Jo-
sepb Bonaparte, and several other members
of the family. It would seem that when
Napoleon found himself on the way to power
he did not wish to have it alleged against
him that he was not a Frenchman by BIRTH.
He dropped letter in his Italian name (be-
coming Bonaparc instead of Buonaparte,)
and declared himselfborn in August, 1860,
instead Of February, l7Gs, because between
those dates, Corsica had been annexed 10
France. The later date, therefore, made
him Ffencbman.

about the Birds.-The National INTEL
Hgcnccr gives the following beautiful in
stance of the kindness towards each other by
the birds:
GA gentleman observed in a thicket of
bushes near his dwelling, collection Of
brown thrushes, who for several days at
tracted his attention by their loud cries and
strange movements. At last, curiosity was
so much excited, that lie determined to see
if he could ascertain the cause of the excite
mcnt among them. On examining the
bushes, he found female thrush, whose
wings were caught in such a way that she
could not escape. Near by was her nest,
containing several halfgrown birds. On
retiring a little distance, company Of
thrushes appeared with worms and other
insects in their mouths, which they gave,
first to the mother and then to her young
she in the meanwhile cheering them in
their labor of love with song of gratitude.
After watching the interesting scene until
curiosity was satisfied, the gentleman relieved
the poor bird, when she flew to her nest
with grateful song to her deliverer, and
her charitable neighbors dispersed to their
usual abodes, singing as they went song Of
praise"
