The Railroads.

The Danbury and Norwalk Railroad com pany are greatly improving their road by the construction of an extension running from the South Norwalk depot parallel with the Consolidated road distance of an eighth of mile, then running under the track in a southerly direction to Wilson Point, which projects from the main land nearly half a mile into the Sound. The extension is three miles in length, and will cost the company
 $13O,OO From the end of the point a wooden pier 25O feet long is in course of construction. It is so arranged that steam boats and barges can land on three sides.
 The new road will be open for public travel by July 4th, but will not be completed until
 sometime in August. By this arrangement the company will be able to transport coal and all heavy freight that does not go by train during the winter and also accommodate pleasure parties and passenger traffic in the summer season. Superintendent Sandiforth, in speaking of the improvement, said that the extension was not built for the purpose of competition with the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford road in any form whatever.

Pesth's Champion Beauty.

From the Pail Nall Gazette.
The most beautiful woman in tho
world, or champion beauty" has just
been found at Pesth, thanks to the mu-
nicipality, which, instead of concerning
itself with corporation dinners, main
drains, and lightning, has instituted an
international beauty tournament Out
of $50 candidates- the number must
surely be q telegraphic mfstake-only 10
obtained prizes, and the first prize, 4
diamond bracelet, was taken by COrnelia
Szekely, aged 20. This damsel is bru-
nette, with brilliant eyes, whose figure,
supple ~ . twining creeper, recalls the
tvpe of ancient Greek statues. Her pho
togrsph will not be ready for some days,
OWING TO q little accident which happens
even to English ladies, her dress not
having come homo from the milliner.
but it will be soon sent to every illustrated
paper in the world, and we shall have
an opportunity Of judging. Meanwhile,
before it arrives, NO doubt numerous
challenges will be hurried to Cornelia
from Europe, Asia, Africa, and America,
and tho railway companies to Pesth may
be expected to declare vast dividends,
reapod from the transit Of wa9on-loads
u ui,contented beauties arriving from
all parts of the world.

The reporter intimated rather broadly
