DODGING THE GALLOWS.

Some days ago the venerable Governor
Dix, Of New York, refused to comm ute
the sentence of Gaffney, the murderer,
who is awaiting execution Of the sem
tence Of death in the jsil at Buffalo, New
York. The papers all over the country
have been chanting the praises Of the an
cient Governors firmness ever since, ap
parently obliyious of the fact that few
hours after the very proper refusal to
commute, he granted a respite on account
of an attempt of the Condemned man to
simulate insanity. Whether this effort to
escape the penalty or his crime will sue
coed or fail now seems to depend upon a
committee of DOCTORS whose doubts and
uncertainties in such cases are proverbial.
It they are not able to satisfy tbemseI YES
fully that the man is shammirg, he will
probably go to lunatic asylum for a few
months. and get out of that by ha6eas
corpus, which is the usual ending of sim.
liar cases. oa

Mercy Hospital and its History.

Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of
the date on which Mercy Hospital was
opened. The history of the founding of
this institution is peculiar. 1t was one eve
ming in September, 1869 that MIR Chas
III. Watkins, then one of the County Poor
Directors, sat in an Office conversing with
u gentleman about some better system of
caring for the insane at the county poor
house than was then in vogue, which was
simply no system at all further than herd
ing the insane and idiotic together in that
building, and letting the two OF three per-
sons employed there take care of them,
with paupers, as best they could. Suddenly
he started up, said IN see fthe Catholics
cant do something and straightway call
ed at the residence Of Mr.. j McMenomy,
and asked II it were possible to induce the
Sisters of Mercy to establish a hospital
here. III write to the Bishop about it, 4"
was the reply. That was Thursday night
Saturday evening Mr.. McMenomy inform
ed Mr.. Watkins that "the Sisters are here
come 10 u meeting at St. Anthony
Church tomorrow The meeting was
held-Mr. W. made speech, explaining
the situation, and assistance was promised
in various ways.
Fourteen years before this fine building
was erected north of the city, as Sisters
Academy this was then the property of
the Church-and to be brief, it was turned
over by the proper parties To the Sisters of
Mercy. Sister Superior BarOmeo and Sis
ter Mary Evangelist, who were present at
the meeting, with other Sisters who soon
arrived, went to work ON the building i'm
mediately, superintended the work of car
penters, etc, and the house became the
present Mercy Hospital. \ brick wing
was raised two stories, and two story
frame, Is by 25, was added at the rear.
Several physicians who had been managing
hospital in this city, turned over the eli.
teets IN their institution TO this one, encour-
aged it in every possible way, and, with
physicians in Rock Island, became its Med
ical Board.
The Board Of Supervisors also lent it
their aid-Ruaranteed to give it the care Of
at least ten insane patients and pay the
same rates that the State Asylum received
Tor care OF county insane, and loaned the
Sisters $1,000 for FIVE years without inter
est.
% the hospital was opened on the Sth
day OF December, 1859. Its first patient, a
lonely betrayed girl, who had followed her
betrayer to this city from distant county.
and who was received on the evening Of
the 7th.

1And what bene6cent history its short
one has been. The insane, indiotic, the In
jured, the sick, the suffering Of all classes, |
have been nursed and cared for within.its
walls according to the law Of -gentleness,
and forbearance with such devotion to-
vows of duty on the part of the Sisters as
cannot be appreciated save by visit to the
hospital, and then not fully. The number
of patients in the four years has been: 40
insane from Scott county, of whom IL have
died and 10 been discharged-the number
remaining being 10. insane from Clinton
county, of whom have died.
| The total number ofinsane from all parts
of the State now being cared for, is 80.
OF general patients the hospital has
cared for $50 in four years Of these but
20 have died. This is splendid record,
and speaks in high praise of the devoted
ness of the Sisters and skill of the attend
ing physicians and surgeons.
During the past eighteen months, as is
well known, a separate building for the in
sane, planned in accordance with the rec
concentrations of TIE most experienced in
sane asylum superintendents in the land
has been built as separate part OF thu
Hospital. 1t is y by 80 feet, and thret
stories high including basement Tit
State asylums are not managed more per
j ect than this asylum.
What has all this cost? Well, in tn,
& four years the Sisters have expended abou
: So, 900 in improvements. The eXpens
: of running the institution has reached SIS.
e OOO-or nearly $4,000 year. Of tn
. amount borrowed from the county $75
a has been paid Where did all the none
g come from? Sister Bronco was asket
j. that yesterday she didn't know-every
u body, Protestants as well as Catholics, ha
e assisted--the Lord had helped through
X all, she knew. But one thing is sure, mon
;, ey was never more worthily expended
e We might say that Mrs. Mitchell has dc
