ALL SORTS OF ITEMS THE MITRE.
The Bishop of Lincoln, who has revived the mitre as a practical portion of the episcopal coatume. haa just been presented with a new one. It is, apparently, a fairly sumptuous piece of head-gear. The groundwork is cloth of gold, "richly diapered with gold thread." The orphreya — I take it for granted every one knows what an orphrey ia — are lavishly decorated with amethyst, pearl, topaz, and chrysolite, sot in silver. The crockets (of course, no bishop •would be seen in a, mitre without crockets) are of silver-gilb. If che bishops generally are a8 impecunious as they protest, they will hardly bless Dr. Kiag for setting the fashion to this tune.
