Corning, of Concord, N.H., tells a James Russell Lowell an- ecdote, which throws a pleasant light on Lowell's geniality, as well as on his gout. Says Judge Corning: "I was spend- ing the winter of 1879'-'80 in Spain, and In December there blew in at Barcelona a company of American and British newspaper men. Among them was Ed- ward King, a well-known correspondent of the period. He persuaded me to join. the gang and go to Madrld to Alfonso's second wedding.

First I had it in one arnk then in the other; then it lodged in 'ma right leg for a week; suddenly quitting for the left leg and ankle. ' Then the thing would repeat its visit, with a toueli now and then in the stomach.' King re- marked that the experience required pa- tience, when Lowell Interruptea by sex- ing that it wasn't a matter of patience but for philosophy, for 'after those weeltel of first one ant or leg, then tho other, I gained courage and thanked God I wasn't a centipede.' 'What is the finan- cial ,condition of Spain, Mr. Lowell?' abiced King.
