eEecHEa's LAST.


New York, Jan. 21-Beecher preached
q somewhat remarkable sermon yesterday,
which will attract good deal of attention
and probably call forth as lively q discus
sion as his discourse on hell some weeks
since. He bewailed with his usual elo-
auence the inefficiency of education to save
the race, and took the ground that some in.
fiuence is necessary TO bring into the world
beings superior intellectually and physi-
cally TO those who now inhabit it, and who
will be predisposcd to good instead of evil.
Mr.. Beecher, in alluding to our present un-
happy condition. shed tears, and his cor
gregation was, OF course, visibly and deep
ly affected. What is the influence which
Beecher thinks is necessary to save US ?
This question he did not answer, and until
he has answered, there will naturally be a
goood deal of curiosity as to what he
means.

On Friday last butcher near Washin-
ton had the carcass ofa COW that had drop
ped dead on he road conveyed to his
slaughter.house, promising the owner OF
the beast that he wsuld pay him the val
ue of the hide and tallow. The intention
apparently was to cut cut up the carcass
for the market, but the infamous project
was frustrated by the police and the in
spector Of meats. The sale of meats con-.
dsmned by the inspector can be punished
only by small fine. 1t ought to be made
a criminal act and punished by imprlsons
ment; and the same penalty should attach
to the sale ofthe flesh of any diseased ami
NAL, whether the meat may have been
condemned or not. The sale of milk
from diseased COWS should be similarly
dealt with.
