of Misfortune and Misdeed.
The year's record for Pittsburg, Alle

world. The longest existing and most
direful of the untoward things which have
had to he chronicled was the great coke
strike, but it is doubtful if the suffering

toward circumstance added to the total of
all other evils will exceed the grand sum of
all those little beuchts and bcnenciencics
that go to make up the happiness of the
masses. The latter are, as a rnle, the
