From the Independent.
The Religion of our LIterati.

Our literary men and women can hardly help
putting some little of their religion into their
writing, and their religious sympathies are no
secret. The following facts on this subject we
think are accurate: Bryant is Unitarian,
and one of the vice-presidents of the American
Unitarian Association, and a similar office is
also held by George William Curtis, who occa-
sionally reads sermons in the church Of that de-
nomination on Staten Island. DIR, Holmes is
llkewisea Unitarian Of a somewhat earnest type,
and other believers in the same faith are John
Gorham Palfrey, the historian, who was once
clergymen; Francis Parkman, Senator Sumner,
Motley, Bancroft, Whipple, Howells, Mrs. Hunt,
Mrs. Spoford, Bret Hartc, ]. 7. Trowbridge,
and Mr.. Godkin of the Nation, James Free
man Clarke and Edwin E. Hale are almost as
well known rs clergymen as men Of letters.
Longfellow and Lowell are Unitarians of con-
seryative type. With that body is also to be
associated, probably, Bayard Taylor. Charles
Dudley Warner and Mark Twain are Congrega-
tionalists, attending the same church in Hart
ford; and other Congregationalists are DR.. Hol-
land, Lucy Larcom, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Gail Hamilton, Horace L. Scudder and Wendell
Phillips, who used to attend the Old South, Bos-
ton, which sanctuary he still frequents, we sup
pose, for postal purposes. Higginsou, Parton,
and Cranch are Free-religionists, Col. Higgin-
son having once been Unitarian minister, and
Mr.. Cranch being a graduate of the Harvard
divinity school. Emerson and A. Bronson Al
colt are, of course, Transcendentalists, and Miss
L. NJ. Alcott's sympathies are also with this
school. Epes Sargent, William Denton and Ro-
bert Dale Owen are Spiritualists; Edward Eg-
gleston is Methodist and doctor of divinity
Mrs. A. d. T. Whitney is a Swedenborgan; ].
Boyle O'Reilly is a Roman Catholic; and the
Episcopalians are represented by r. II. Dana,
jr. John Hay and Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Whittier is Quaker of liberal tendencies, al
though he does not. we believe, call himself a
Hicksite Turning from literature to scholar
ship, using both terms in q free sense, of Con-
gregationalsts may be mentioned Presidents
Woolsey and Porter, and Profs. Whitney and
Dana of Yale, Prof Young of Dartmouth, Pres
ident Hopkins, Drs. Horace Bushnell and J. p.
Thompson, Profs Bartlett of Chicago and Park |
Of Andover, George P. Marsh, J. Hammond
rrumbull of Hartford, and Prof Asa Gray of
Cambridge, who is also an earnest Darwinian.
President McCosh, DR.. Hodge, DR.. Philip Schaff
md, we suppose, Prof. March arc Presbyterians;
Ezra Abbot, F. J. Child and Prof Pierce are
Unitarians. DR.. Abbot standing, like Lowell,
with the evangelical party. Prof Sophocles at

Yard College, though no great Unitarian, We
believe. DR.. II. b. Hackett is Baptist

IMPROVED PROCESS OF MAKING ALKALI.-The
usual method Of manufacturing alkali by what
is called the Leblanc process consists in dccom-
posing common salt with sulphuric acid, roast
ing the resulting sulphate of soda, technically
known as salt-cake, with an admixture of ground
coke and limestone, and subjecting the crude
mass thus obtained to certain refining operations
1t is now stated, on the authority of Rudolph
Wagner, that an entirely new method has been
elaborated, verified, and is about to be intro
duced on a large scale simultaneously in Eng
land, Austria, and Germany. Common salt in
solution is mixed with bicarbonate of ammonia ;
the result is bicarbonate of soda, which crystal
Lies out, and chloride of ammonium (sal am
moniac), which remains in solution. The lat
ter liquid is distilled along with limestone, the
result being carbonate of ammonia, which is
collected, and chloride of calcium, which re-
mains in solution. Meantime the bicarbonate
of soda, or such part of it as is not required to
be sold as such, is fiIrnaced, and thus converted
into dry carbonate of soda, or soda ash. In
this operation il loses half its carbonic acid,
which, being led into the bicarbonate of ammo
mia, is ready to use along with a fresh lot of
salt. The only materials thus consumed will be
common salt and chalk. or limestone, and the
only refuse yielded will be chloride of calcium,
which is not incapable of being utilized The
stock of bicarbonate Of ammonia will circulate
with a waste, which, in case of careful working,
will be inconsiderable.
The soda-ash produced will be very strong
and pure, free from alkaline suphates, sulphites,
sulphides, and hyposulphites. as well as from
variety Of other foreign matters now rarely alb
sent. Soda-crystals will be made, as at pres
ent, by dissolving soda-ash in water, and allow
ing it to crystalline at the proper degree of con-
centration and of temperature. Caustc soda,
now prepared from certain residual liquors,
technically known rs cred liquor" will have
again to be made by the primitive method of
treating solutions OF carbonate of soda. with
saked lime. The nuisances of hydro
chloric, sulphuric and arsenical fumes, will
cease. "vat-wastc will no longer be formed,
and the ingenious process of obtaining from it
of soda and for recovering the
sulphur it contains will come to an end.
This new process, according to Iron, is likely
to involve heavy fall in the price of sulphur
and sulphur ores, such as iron pyrites, some of
which. especially such as are poor in sulphur or
rich in arsenic, may possibly become unstable.
The supply of sulphuric acid will probably be
diminished and the price increased. Hydro
,hloric acid, Tow n waste, and difficult to get
rid of, will be utilized and probably Use in |
price, as well as bleaching-lime and all sub
stances whose manufacture requires the use of
This acid. If commercial success, according
to the authority indicated chemical manuf,ct- |
nres will undergo such change as has rarely
before been witnessed.

THE New TEMPERANCE CRUSADE" But when
thou prayest. .,enter into thy closet" not into
somebody else's rum shop, is the divine injunc-
ton. We see that the women of some places in
southern Ohio are visiting the rum-shops with
prayer in great numbers, and with considerable
apparent results. The closing of these resorts.
whenever they have been closed, is due quite as
much to the natural respect for ladies as to any
influence of prayer, and can only be temporary.
1t is greatly to be regretted that the sacred
privilege should be thus vulgarized. Many Of
the rum-sellcrs have legal objections to being
thus interfered with in business. which, though
not respectable. is certainly legal after the con-
ditions Of the law have been complied with. To
hold prayer-meetings in a grog-shop is tres
pass on the rights Of the proprietor. ss great in
the eye of law and justice MS it would be for
the ruin-sellers to hold drinking bout in the
parlor of one Of the ladies'. It Is very dull
sense which cannot see IT 30. We trust that re-
ligion and the sacred ordinance will not be nut
to so sensational and illegal use in Massachu-
sctts, --Sprin0ield Republican.
