A Warlike World.

The Opinion Nationale of a recent date gives this dismal picture of the present belligerent condition of the world:
"If there be a dead calm in politics as well as business amongst us, it is not the same in all parts of the little planet we inhabit. Three-quarters of humanity, in fact, are living in the barbarous state of war.
"There is war in Poland.
"War in Algeria.
"War in Tunis.
"War in Mexico.
"War in the United States.
"War in Peru.
"War in New Zealand.
"War in China and Kachgar.
"War in Japan.
"War in Afghanistan.
"War in twenty countries in Africa.
"This is, unfortunately, enough to discourage the friends of universal peace; and who can say they will not meet with still greater disappointment next year? Italy, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and the Slavonian population of Turkey, are not, it must be confessed, in the most pacific humor; and to those who study the general situation of our continent, it is quite evident that the general situation, instead of getting better goes on from day to day getting more and more complicated."
