Dr. Conneau, one of the oldest friends of Napoleoa 111,, and his .privite physician, died at Porta, in Corsica, rec ntly. He was born of French parents at Milan’in 1803.- While a medical student he became secretary to Louis Bonaparte, the ex-King of Holland, and afterwards he practised for a time 'as a doctor in Rome. , After insurrection in 1831 he left Rome and became household phy.sicau to Queen Hortense, Louis Napoleon’s mother. He joined in the abortive'Boulogne invasion, shared the Prince’s captivity in the fort of Ham, and contributed materially r to his escape. He attached himself to the person of the Prince in’England, and returned with him to France after the Revolution of 1848. When the Empire was established,Dr. Conneau was appointed principal physician to the household. He was in j | 1852 returned to the Corps LegUlatif as a Government candidate for the Somme, and con- , 1 tinned a deputy till made a Senator in 1867. His; son and the Prince Imperial were for many years playmates. Queen Hortense left him; a ring by her will, and expresed the desire that her s n might never separate from him. The Emperor’s friendship for him never flagged, and it is believed to be entirely owing to' an oversight that no mention of him was made io his will. Dr. Conneau was liked by every■■ body who knew him. Save yourselves.

Monsucub Tainb on the Beauty op English Ladies. —The point which seems particularly to have impressed itself upon the mind of this brilliant French writer, with respect to “E’glish beauties ” is the “ dazzling purity of their complexions." Doubtless, Nature has richly endowed our countrywomen In this .respect, but art has done no less, in supplying such an exquisite preparation as Rowlands’ Kalydor, which so far aids nature as to remove freckles, roughness of skin, tan. and sunburn, and produces a pure and delicate complexion.
