Jewish and Gentle circles cognlzant Of
tho occurrence were alike startled yesterday
over a rumor Of the marriage OF a daughter Of
Rabbi Wise. editor Of the Israelite. to Mr.. James
Molony a prominent young attorney OF the
Christian faith. Marriages between jew and
Gentio are so rare even ut this day. that few
comprehend the seriousness OF their nature to
tho family Of the former. While there are no
canons Of the Jewish Church expressly forbid
ding intermarriage with Gentes. traditions Of
the old Mosaic prohibition OF such marriages
are strictly observed. These are explicitly de-
fined in Joscphus and apply generally to all
such intcrmarriages, The offence is greater
when committed by the daughter OF jewish
priest. as expressed in the twelfth verse OF tho
twenty second chapter OF Loviticus. as follows:
" II the priests daughter also be married unto
q stranger she may not eat OF an Offering OF the
holy things" She is excommunicated. de.
barred from all fellowship with her people. and
Theoretically as well M practically dead TO ner
own family except she be left n widow, or sepa-
rate from her husband and return to her own
people. Jews encourage social intermingling
