He liked his room, he said, at the York Hotel, and he liked being in the capital. That was his own statement. His friends said that he liked being with Carry Spalding, the daughter of the American Minister; but none of them, then in Italy, were sufficiently intimate with him to express that opinion to himself. It had been expressed more than once to Carry Spalding.
He left his body to be dissected; and his skeleton, clothed in his usual attire, is preserved in University College, London. Study of Life and Work, Atkinson, 1903.

It was generally admitted among the various legations in Florence that there had not been such a wedding in the City of Flowers since it had become the capital of Italia. Mr. Glascock and Miss Spalding were married in the chapel of the legation, a legation chapel on the ground floor having been extemporised for the occasion.
Spalding, not given to stepping lively at other men's commands, was slow in answering, and then spoke drawlingly: "Wanted, am I? Well, that's interestin'. By who? I'm wonderin'." "Miss Gloria. She wants you right away." "That's different," said old Jim, getting to his feet.

And old Thaddeus Stevens the clear-sighted and courageous "Old Commoner" followed up Spalding, and struck very close to the root and animus of the Democratic opposition, when he exclaimed: "All this struggle by calm and dignified and moderate 'Patriots; all this clamor against 'Radicals; all this cry of 'the Union as it Was, and the Constitution as it Is; is but a persistent effort to reestablish Slavery, and to rivet anew and forever the chains of Bondage on the limbs of Immortal beings.
