A RARE CuRIoslfY.- readers Of the

scription ofa musical mouse appeared in
that magazine some time since. The mo-
ticc was some what extended and gave
some very intsrsstins theories, relative 70
singing animals. This rare little specimen
Of the genus mus is in the possession Of
xr. James Howe; firm Of Howe Bros, Of
this city. The animal first attracted atten-
tion by coming out from his hiding place
and singing In the residence Of Mr.. Howe
at Gensses Ills. Upon his first appear
anes efforts were made to drive him away,
but he was bent on giving concert, and re-
fused to 60. Subsequently he was caught
and Gagged. His fayorits tims for singing

o'clock at night. He gives very clear,
prolonged note, some times sufficiently
loud TO awaken children sleeping in anesh-
er room. In appearance be does not differ
from s.o.hcrs Of his kind. except, that
his eyes are unusually large and brilliant
Hs seldom ever sings In the day time, pre-
fering the proper custems Of giving con-
certs in the evening. He sings best when
fed but little, yet At almost any itime in the
evening can be induced to sing, by the
members Of Mr.. Howo's family. He is
very tame and appears:to know when stran-
gcrs are present. Various theories have
bcen advanced to account for 90 singular .
performance by mouse, yet none Of them
seem to apply in his case Several years
ago We heard Of a singing mouse in New
York State, that when it was singing it ap.
psarsd to DO in great agony. Such is not
the case with this little fellow who appears
to be as happy as canary and often is OBJ
served to sing himself to sleep.

New-York tribune., 1868-02-20

The National IRteIIigencer, speaking OF the
proposed removal of Gen. Sherman to Wash
ington, makes a remark which we hardly know
whether to interpret as an unguarded contes-
sion, or threat to Congress, or spiteful
attempt to insult Gen. Grant. Since the Presi-
dent, it says has been Ihedged about by the
acts of his enemies, and Grant has given laid
"and comfort to the usurping Congress-" Mr..
Johnson desired " the appointment of soldier
ito be of equal rank with Gen. Grant, In
"whose hands, under circumstances Of great
"perA to the Republic, its safety 'could be better
assured than it nOW u.s." One would think that
Mr.. johnson meditated a coup d. etat But ne
was mistaken if he expected to find an instru-
ment in Gen. Sherman.

We infer from the telegraphed outline of the
international Copyright bill framed by Mr..
Baldwin, that it aims to give to authors re-
siding in foreign countries the same copyright
privileges on publishing their works here as
those countries accord to American authors
publishing like works there; that works copy
righted here in favor of foreign authors must
be manufactured by American publishers; that
these provisions do not interfere with the right
to publish an original translation as an original
work; and that foreign authors, in order to
avail themselves of copyright in their works
sold in America, must perfect their copyright
here wishin three months after the original
publication there. rr

RRUKEE RAILS.

A little paragraph Of three lines which ap-
peared in the news columns of The TRIB-
UNE on Wednesday gave one Of the most
startling items Of intelligence which we
have published for many a week. 1t told
how, in single day, the patrol on GER
tain New-Jersey railroad discovered no fewer
than ei0hty-sir broken rails! That is to say,
eighty-six chances of horrible accident, of
the crushing of limbs, the mangling and burn
ing of human bodies Suppose the patrol had
overlooked one of those breaks; suppose an
express train had torn at full speed over one
of those fatal spots, with no warning OF the
awful danger; we should have had q
repetition of the horrors of Angola, and
score of victims, may be, would
have been sacrificed to the loOseness of
our railway system and the parsimony of our
railway directors We publish in another
column q communication from q practical IRON
worker respecting tho well-known liability of
iron rails to break during cold weather. He
disputes some OF the received opinions as TO
the cause of the Tranquility; but the great
question is not why they break, but phy they
are used. 1t is notorious that during very cold
OF changeable weather no iron rail can be de-
pended upon. However carefully made, there
is always q likelihood, 80 strong as almost TO
amount to probability, of its breaking, and
railway travellers have no dependence
except upon the vigilance and intelligence
of an il-paid and well-worked patrol.
A steel rail is not liable to the same accident
it can be broken only with the greatest diff
Guilty. Moreover, it will outlast score of iron
rails and, in spite Of its apparent costliness, it
is really cheaper than iron. Some of our best
roads have commenced adopting it; there is no
reason why it should not come Immediately
into general use, except that the first outlay
is high But it is barbarous economy
which counts only the preliminary expense
and neglects the cost of renewal. The
great defect of our railway system has
been a purblind parsimony. Spend as little
as possible on the permanent way make
q fortune quickly; sell out and leave Others
New-York tribune., 1868-02-20

The Republican members of the New York
Constitutional Convention have decided to sub
nit the new Constitution to the vote of the
people at the regular election in November
next While this course will doubtless secure
a much larger vote upon the subject than
would come out at a special election, it will re-
duce the vital matter of our organic law be-
low the comparatively temporary Importance
of who shall be President and who shall be
Governor The determination Of question
so important ought to stand alone, and be
Judged upon its merits. If tackled on as
rider in a Presidential election, the electors
will be sure to look upon it as a party meas
ure, and the great majority will vote upon ii
in that light. .-
