The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1874-09-08

It is generally understood, especially
among Mr.. Beecher's more intimate friends,
that his wife is not remarkable for her tact.
The book which she published giving details
of her life in Lawrenceburg and Indianapo-
lis contains abundant proofs OK her want of
discretion, and her action at Plymouth
Church, last Friday night, was a perfect
illustration of bad taste. 1t .Right have
been we'll enough for herto be present on
the occasion of the submission of the in
vestigating committees report. That was a
matter of such vital and overwhelming
Importance that rules of etiquette should
have no consideration in judging Of
her conduct ia PuGhing in with the
crowd to hear the report. The vindicatioa
of a husband is something that a
good wife ought to be little impatient to
listen to. But in the midst of the hub-bub
raised by Moulton and when he had sent his
note to the moderator, asking for a hearing,
Mrs. Beecher wrote few lines and sent
them up to the presiding officer likewise.
They ran as follows: "Mr. Beecher's wife
begs that Mr.. Moulton may be allowed to
hear what Plymouth church thinks of mu-
tual friends" The design of the note may
have been praiseworthy but the wording of
it was rather calculated to kindle than as
suage wrath. 1t would have been more be-
coming if the writer of it had kept in the
background a. such a juncture. She is GER
tainly unfortunate when she trusts herself
