The Hebrew Festival of “Cha
naka.”
The following description of this Fes
f>»! is taken trom tho Petersburg (Va.)
and is of interest not only
to our citisena of the Jewish faith, but
10 the general reader:
“CUASAMA," TUB FeSTIVAT. OP THE
Dsmoatiok. —This festival which com
niemorates the preservation of the nu
tiousl existence and the litieration of
the Jews, is celebrated during eight
days, commencing on tho 25th of the
month Kislev—this year of the Cliristian
era, December 3J. The several years
of the exile and captivity which an of
fending Deity pronounced against Judah
and Jerusalem were terminated by the
decree of Cyras, as had been predicted.
The Jews returned to Jerusalem. The
tsvor of the mighty uionaicbs ot Persia
was intended to worshippers of the true
God. They rebuilt their Temple and
city and lived peaceably in their native
valleys, while all around them was war.
Xerxes undertook his rash expedi
tion against the Greeks, and these in
revenge ravaged the shores of Asia
Minor, till the great king was forced to
sue for peace. The tranquil Jews,
under the direction of their High
Priests, cultivated the arts of peace,
and strove gradually to recover the
national welfare they had once enjoyed.
No remarkable event for many years
interrupted the noiseless tenor of their
annals. But this condition of quiet
was doomed to bo most fearfully
shaken. *
Alexander the Great, leader of the
Grecian hosts, attacked the last mon
arch of Persia. Ilis might overcame
and scattered the numerous army < f
Darius. He besieged Tyre; thence he
sent his messengers to Jerusalem and
commanded the High Priests to furnish
him with the same aid and supplies
which till then the Jews had furnished
to Darius.
'lhe Jews, true to the monarch whose
bounty thev had experienced, refused to
comply. Ti e haughty conqueror was
highly offended. He vowed vengeance.
Jerusalem was threatened. Jaddua,
the If gh Priest, and tho Jewish people
were in the utmost dismay, when a
nocturnal vision revealed to Jaddna
how to appease the licensed Macedo
nians. He caused the city to be orna
mented with garlands and the gates to
be thrown open, w hen himself and the
other priests, dressed in their sacred
vestments, and the people clothed in
robes of white, marched forth to Saplia,
an eminence trom whence the whole
city and temple might be seen.
No sooner had Alexander beheld the
High Priest in his robes embroidered
with gold, wearing his mitre with the
gold frontal, than he fell prostrate and
adored the Holy name which was there
inscribed in brilliant characters. His
attendants were astonished. They had
expected slaughter and pillage, but were,
now struck with amazement.
Alexander became the friend of the
Tews, explaining, that whilst at Dion, in
Macedonia, he dreamed of the scene
now before him, and that the man who
appeared now before him had promised
him the conquest of all Asia. The
danger being over, Jerusalem could
joyfully rcknowledge the divine protec
tion. But the period of peace which
ensued was not of long duration.
We pass over the various events of
that era until the year B. C. T 161. The
book of Maccabees records the suffer
ings and fortitude of an oppressed peo
ple. We refer to its pages and those of
Josephus for the details.
Antiochus had ascended the throne of
Syria. Informed that the people whom
be had so long befriended had at length
been goaded into resistance, lie sent
forth a verv formidable army of 40,000
foot and 7,000 horse against them. In
their train came numerous slave mer
chants, for Antiochus, had decided that
the conquered Jews should be sold, in
order to replenish his exhausted trea
sury. To meet this host, Judas, the son
of the venerable Mathias, could number
about (1,000 followers.
In strict conformity with the com
mands of the law. he proclaimed that
whosoever had lately married, planted
vineyards, built houses, or was fearful,
should retire. (Dent. xxx.. s—B). Halt
of his forces have availed themselves of
the prerogative. W itli trose few who
remained, Judas obtained a decided vie
tory. The rich booty of the camp fell
into the hands of the Jews, who, with
just retribution, sold for slaves as many
of the slave merchants as they could
find.
Numerous other battles were fought
with similar success to the Jews, all of
which are recalled with satisfaction
(luring the Feast of the Dedication.
Thus triumphant, victors in every
field, Judah and his followers entered
Jerusalem. Freedom of conscience and
the undisturbed worship of their God
Wl been the potent motives which
caused them to draw theirswords against
the oppressors. Crowned with success
they now prepared to restore that wor
tbipto its ancient purity and splendor.
They found the gates of the temple
burned, their sanctuary abandoned, and
shrubs and weeds covered the courts.
With tearful eyes, but with heartfelt
gratitude, Judas and his men undertook
the task,of repairing, cleaning and con
secrating the sacred buildings. The
holy utensils, the table of shrew-bread,
the candle sticks and the altar censors,
til of pure gold, were made anew and
in the sanctuary, and the tem
ple was again inaugurated on the 2otli
Jay of the 3d month, three years after
its profanation and pillage by Autio
thus.
In honor of this manifestation of di-
T hie blessings, the Jews burn the “Cha
naka” lights for eight days, beginning
on the 25th of Kislev, by lighting one
taper or lamp the first night, adding
another every evening, so that on the
last night eight lights ore burning.

THE DAILY PRESS.
VOL. 11.
1 ii.TEKs.—lhey've come to town.
We like ’em. We lore to gaze at pretty
feet and ankles, and laugh at those who
I'hvii t, and so do other folks. Besides,
they’re too high for mud. Moralists
and gray haired gents may preach ad
infinitum. Let a tilter pass. While
they utter condemnations, two to one
they’ll turn to get another look. The
machines looks nice when not on one’s
own folks and sweethearts, but we
don’t object to any other pretty wo
man’s donning them. Spinks says
if he had a “ dear’’ she shouldn't go the
style, but he’d rather his next door
neighbor's pretty wife would be a “ tilte
reen.” The majority of the Indies, he
observes, now-adays in imitation of
Hamlet, thus soliloquize :
To wear or not to woar the tilting coatumo,
That’s the question,
Whether 'tis nobler in us girls to suffer
Tho iuconvonienoe of the long-skirt dress,
Or out it off against these muddy troubles,
And by the cutting end them.
’Tis a consummation devoutly to bo wished,
To don the pants: The pants !
Perchance tho boots! Aye, there’s the rub !
For in those pants uud boots what jeers may
Como when we have shuffled off these
Untold skirts. Must give us pause.
There’s the respect that makes calamity
Os so long % custom,
For who could bear the scoffs and jeers of
boys—
The old maid’s scandal in tho young man's
Laughter—tho sidelong leers and derision’s
Meek, the insolent Press, and all the spurns
We Tillers of these boobies take ?
Who would tho old dress wear,
To groan and toil under the weary load,
But that the dread of something after it—
Os ankles large, of crooked leg,
From which not all escape,
.Pussies the will, and makes us rather
Wear the dress we have
Than turn out lilters ?
[Columbus Sun.
The Falling Stars—No Use of
Trowsers.—On the morning of the
meteoric shower in 1832, old Peyton
Roberts, who intended making an early
start to his work, got up in the midst op
the display. On going to the door, he
saw, with amazement, the sky lit up
with tailing meteors, and he concluded
at once the world was ou fire, and the
day of judgment had come. He stood
for a moment, gazing in speechless ter
ror at the scene, and then with a yell of
horror sprang out of the door into the
yard, right into the midst of the falling
stars, and there, in his efforts to dodge
them, lie commenced a series of ground
tumbling that would have done honor to
a rope dancer. His wife, being awakened
in the meantime, and seeing Peyton
jumping and skipping about the yard,
bawled out to him : “Peyton, what in
the name of common sense are you
doin’ out, tliar, dancin’ aroun’ with
nothin’ on but your shirt?” Peyton
hoard not. The judgment, and long
black accounts he would have to settle,
made him heedless of all terrestial things!
and his wife by this time becoming
alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of
lied,and running to the door, shrieked
out at the top of her lungs:
‘ Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you
mean, jumpin’ about thus? Come and
put your trowsers on.”
“Trowsers to the devil; what in the
h—ll‘s the use of trowsers when the
world’s on fire?”— Owensboro' ( Ky.)
Shield.
A Scene is Court.—Hon. David
Paul Brown, of Philadelphia bar, relates
the following good story in a late work
of his:
A quack had instituted a suit for medi
cal services against one of his neighbors,
and the suit being brought for the use of
another, became himself the witness. A
Mr. Williams, who was employed to de
fend the suit and expose the quackery
aud worthlessness of the services ren
dered, subjected the doctor to the follow
ing cross examination :
“Did you treat the patient according
to the most approved rules of surgery?”
asked tile counsel.
“By all means, certainly,” replied the
witness.
“Did you decapitate him ?” inquired
the counsel.
“Undoubtedly I did—that was a
matter of course,” answered the doctor.
“Did you perform the Caisareau ope
ration upon him?”
“.Why, of course,” answered the
witness,” his condition required it, and
it was attended with very great success.”
“Did you then,” still further queried
the counsel, “subject his person to au
topsy?”
“Certainly,” replied the witness, “that
was the last remedy I adopted, ’*••
“Well, then, doctor,” said the counsel,
“»s you cut off the defendant’s head,
then desected him, and he still survives
it, I have no more to ask, and, if your
claims survives it, qnnekery deserves to
be immortal.”
P he n estivation. —“Do you believe
in predestination ?” said the captain of
a Mississippi steamer to a clergyman,
who happened to be travelling with
him.
“Os course I do.”
“And you also believe what is to be
will be ?”
“Certainly.”
“Well, I am glad to hear it.”
“Why ?”
“Because I intend to pass that boat
ahead in fiftoeu consecutive minutes, if
there be any virtue in pine knots and
loading safety-valves. So don’t be
alarmed, for if the boiler ain’t to burst,
then it won’t.”
Here tbe divine began putting on his
hat and looked very much like backing
out, which the captain observing, he
said:
“I thought you believed in predesti
nation, and what is to be will be ?”
“So 1 (10, but I prefer being a little'
nearer the stern when it takes place.”
