Was Dean Bryant?
Claim of Maine People to Property In Philadelphia

Capt. George 81. French of Liucolnville
has written the Bangor Commercial at
length concerning the case of Charles Bry-
ant of Philadelphia, over whose property
there has been 80 much litigation, because
of certain claims made by Mai ne heirs to the
effect that Bryant was none other than Levi
L. Dean, formerly of Islesboro, and other
claims that Bryant was this or that man, in
fact anybody but the man pretended to be.
Capt. French writes: There is one strong
bit of evidence which | will mention and
which was not used in the trial. The man
who is now postmaster here, was in 1875 and
and 1886 assistant with his brother, who
kept grocery store and the postotfice, and
he says that in the summer of one of those
two years the bark Nj. E. Treat was hauled
up at his place and that at that time letters
We're coming to this place from Phiadelp phia,
and directed to Charles Bryant, and that his
brother told him to g We such letters to Capt
Levi Dean. If anyone will not take my
word for this Capt. Perry is here to answer
for himself
Capt. French says there have been four
trials over Bryants property and there is to
be another when the heirs residing at Lin
colnvile will be properly represented in
court. He says that Dean was tattoed on
both arms and that the people who buried
him must have seen the marks On one arm
in India ink was girl wearing a red and
blue striped dress, an eag lie and shield.
Somewhere on his body a full rigged ship
was tattoed and also three initial letters but
Mr.. French says as he was boy when he
saw them he cannot remember what they
We're. Capt. French says that the people at
Lincolnvlle who are certain that Dean and
Bryant were the same man remember things
about him which would prove that they We're
not mistaken.
Captain French writes the Commercial
that he was in the post office at Lincolnville
in 1854, when Dean came in and called for a
letter. He asked for it in such low tone
that Capt. French did not hear the name,
but he remembers of the postmaster telling
Dean he had no right to give him letters
which were directed to another person. AT
that time it was well-known fact at Lin
coinvlle that Dean had wife in Philadel-
phia.
In the fall and winter of 1856 and 1857
Captain French says he and Dean were stay
ing on the bark, which was frozen into the
ice at Pier No. 4, East River, New York.
One day Dean told Captain French to go up
to pier No 40 and see if there was an extra
berth there. Captain French says he was
not gone 80 long as Dean expected he would
be and when he came back he met we'll
dressed woman with her face heavily yelled
coming off the bark. Capt. French believes
this woman was the Philadelphia wife.
Capt French says he can produce eight or
ten sea captains who are positive that Dean
had been living in Philadelphia under the
name of Bryant for several years.

Lectures on Theosophy.

Mr.. George D. Ayers of Boston delivered
course of lectures on Theosophy and allied
subjects at the Universalist vestry Tuesday
and Wednesday, afternoon and evening.
His audiences were small, but those who
heard one lecture attended all subsequent
ones. He handled his subject in logical
way, and after each lecture invited anyone
present to ask questions, which invitation
was accepted and many valuable points
brought out. In his lecture yesterday after
noon, upon "The Laws of Compensation
and Rebirth," he said, in part:
Theosophy is not a religion distinct from
other religions, but the essence of every re-
liglon-the synthesis of philosophy, science
and religion. One who believes that all
great religions are aspects of the one intin-
lite truth, believes in theosophy, whether he
acknowledges it to himself or not.
"The theosophcal movement is a move
ment which makes for the brotherhood of
man. 1t includes other organizations and
persons besides those who are in the theU-
sophical society, including many who do not
consciously recognize themselves as being a
part of this movement.
The theosophcal society is an integral
movement, organized with the express pur-
pose OF forwarding it, Its first object is to
found a universal brotherhood without any
distinction whatever. The society has no
creed, except what can be implied from this
objeCt--viz., the belief in the desirability of
obtaining such a nucleus.
Its subsidiary objects are: (a) to study
the ancient religions, PHILOSOPHERS and
sciences, and demonstrate the Importance Of
such study; CD to investigate the uneN-
planned laws of nature and the psychical
powers latent on man. The members study
