The Tycoon's gift to Lincoln. --We announced some time since that the Tycoon of Japan had sent a gift to the President of the United States, consisting of a coat of mail. The following is a description of it: An umbrella-like helmet, of fabricated sheets of steel and copper, shields the head, while a vandyke of interwoven silk cord and lacquered not work falls gracefully upon the shoulders. The outside of the helmet is profusely ornamented with chrysanthemums of gold, in beautiful open-work, upon black lacquer, with now and then a trimming of purest silver. The visor is of copper, lacquered in scarlet and brown. The armlets are of the finest copper chain-work. The breastplate is of copper, intersected with parallel strips of lacquer, and woven together with delicate wire and golden cord. A sort of kill accompanies the armor, and, with lacquerated leggings, grotesquely formed, complete the act.
