Names popularly supposed tobe frequent are in fact rare. It occasionally happens that the prominence attained by a single paper with a certain name brings the name so muoh before the people that it grows familiar to the public mind, though there may realty be but few papers with the same designation. What the journalistic faucy of the Centennial year will devise in the way of newspaper titles is uncertain.
