Around the flanks of Muilrea, beds of purple quartz-felstone with tuff are interstratified with the Upper Silurian grits and slates. Lower Silurian Period. Volcanic action was developed on a grand scale during the Arenig and Caradoc-Bala stages, both in Wales and the Lake district, and in the Llandeilo stage in the South of Scotland.
'Hominy, 'Grits, 'Buckwheats, 'Cantelopes, are some of the dishes I remember. 'Succotash, too, and 'creamed squash, but I think they occurred at dinner generally. I used to summon the waiter, and when he came to take my orders I would ask him to derive those dishes. I had great difficulty after a time in summoning a waiter. But the plan gave me many interesting half hours.
His low-ceilinged, black-beamed store, dimly lit with kerosene lamps, was a wilderness of the most unattractive merchandise the mind of man can conceive, lying in heaps on trestles, hanging from the rafters, and cluttering up every available inch of space, so that narrow lanes only were left among dangling tinware, coils of rope, coarse bedding, barrels in which very unappetising pork lay steeping in brine, other barrels overflowing with grimy looking "grits" and sailors' biscuits, drums of kerosene and turpentine, cans of paint, jostling clusters of bananas, strings of onions, dried fish, canned meats, loaves of coarse bread, tea and coffee, and other simple groceries.
Then Grits, the big mule, began to run, and Gregory couldn't hold him in, and old Selim and thin Hector and little Polly all struck out on a gallop, and away they went, bumping and thumping down the hill. And then stick after stick, two sticks, six sticks, a dozen sticks at a time, slipped out behind. It was of no use to catch at them to hold them on.
"Let's roll the cuss in the fancy collar," proposed one of the head-hunters, meaning me. "I'll stove yer slats if yer touch him," said Grits, and then resorted to appeal. "I s'y, carn't yer stand back and let a chap 'ave a charnst?" The head-hunters only jeered. And what shall be said of the Captain in this moment of peril?
Doesn't this remind one of some people in our own country? Radicals are called "grits" here, and they say you can recognize a "grit" when you see him, for though they are not at all from one class or one industry, they have heads that might betoken a sojourn in a penitentiary!

Boiled oatmeal or wheaten grits may be substituted for the rice. One pint of flour, one pint of milk, and one egg. Stir the milk into the flour; beat the egg very light, and add it, stirring it well in. Meantime have a set of gem-pans well buttered, heating in the oven. This is one of the simplest but most delicate breakfast cakes made.
In these ancient grits no fossils have been found, but they are supposed to be of Cambrian date, for Sir R. Murchison found Lower Silurian strata resting unconformably upon them.
"Men like him killed McKinley, and Garfield, an' an' an' all the rest. He'll be hung. You'll see. Mark my words. I'm glad there's no children in sight, that's all." "It's hot air," Billy comforted her. "He's just teasing you," Saxon soothed. "He always was a josher." But Mary shook her head. "I know. I hear him talkin' in his sleep. He swears and curses something awful, an' grits his teeth.
God is now sending showers of rain; the earth is warmed and is crumbling like grits; but of seed there is not a blessed grain," "Take, my sons, and strip the old roof off the house, and thresh the bundles and sow the chaff."
