The County workhouse Visited.

That old she'll of a brick building, the county
workhouse, which exteriorly has the archltectu-
raj appearance of feudal castle of the elev-
enth century was visited by CHRONICLE rep
resentative yesterday. Mr.. David Smith. the
gentlemanly superintendent, kindly showed us
around the premises. The building was form
erly erected for a Jail, being built on highly
humanitarian principles, after famous Phila-
delphia model with fire places and large win
dOws. The prisoners apartments are on the
second story. .-..........
Large iron cages stand in the middle of the
rooms in which the convicts were confined and
all semblance of the dungeon was dispensed
with.
When the war came up, the jail was used as
q Confederate bastile, and Mr. Smith pointed
out the very cage in which the patriot Brownlow
was confined and wrote portion of his famous
book.
It is situated alone in one of the smaller rooms
and being built of heavy iron is the strongest OF
the cages and known as the murderers' cage
from the fact that it held all the murderers
when used for its legitimate purpose. We
searched in vain for any mementoes OF the
Union men who suffered here. Numerous
coats of whitewash had obliterated every yes
tlge of anything that might have been LETT on
the walls.
Since the war the prison was considered I'M
safe for a. Jail and a stronger one was built
While this has been used as q work house
There are at present seven convicts IN con-
hnement four men and three women. All the
inmates are convicts from the County Criminal
Court excep crazy woman, whom it is neces-
ssry to keep closely confined. The time OF SEN
tence for conVlcts may be for any period under
twelve months. rfHr

But it is useless, ween,

Confess your negligence
And by penitence
Hasten to atone.

Anecdote of Hugh Miller.

The late Hugh Miller was once
very i'll with inflammation of the
lungs, and related the following ex-
perience to his namesake, Professor
Miller. He found, as he was lying
on his bed, and no doubt just emerg-
ing from semi-delirium, that he
lost his identity. What his name
was he could not tell; but he settled
that he was travelling merchant,
selling crockery through the coun-
try to the sound of two bowls rub
bed together, and he went through
many elaborate calculations regard
ing his affairs. In the midst OF
his eye lighted on a cornice in his
bedroom, which he slowly reeogniz-
ed as something he had seen some
where before then. He followed 4
line from the cornice to the bed,
which grew familiar to him, and
finally his glance settled on his body.
He exclaimed: "Oh! I'm Hugh Mil
ler." And there was an end of the
crockery business.

Asparagus.

Some persons cut asparagus into
small pieces before cooking it; this
seems to us an unwarranted mutila-
ton. The stalk should have grown
in two days; it will then be exquis-
itely tender, of a deep green, with
head purple, glistening in the sun,
with the color of the robe of an an
cient Roman Consul; it will break
as squarely as diamond-seratched
glass, and far more easily than a
maiden's heart at the loss of her
first lover; its perfume is pungent
and agreeable; its emerald tint live
ly, and, as it is one of the earliest,so
it is one of the most grateful pro
ductions of the garden. 1t is to be
treated gently. Cut in the early
morning, while the dew yet lies up
on it refreshingly,it is to be washed
in cold water, kept in a shady place
until near the dinner hour, then put
into small quantity of water,
and boiled until it is about half
done; then the water should be
poured off and milk put in, and al
lowed to cook until a fork can be
thrust through it easily; take it up
so as not to break q stalk, and dish
it on toasted bread season, and you
have dish often asked for but sell
dom seen.
