The Closing Years or a woman ohce r A@
 nous in American Society.
 All middle-aged Washingtonians. and especially veterans in the army of the Potomac, will remember this dashing adyenturess She was Agnes Le Clerq, native of Baltimore. who in early youth was circus rider. dd1aseuse and star actress, by which accomplishments she accumulated quite a fortune. When the war broke out she was making great spread in Washington, though rather on the shady side of society, and was prime favorite among officers of the army of the Potomac, Finally she married genuine Prince, German, Felix Salm- Salm, who had volunteered in the Union army. The Prince did not amount to much. but his wife was princess all the same, and through her still powerful influence he was made Brigadier-General. Many will remember her spirited style of beauty. as she appeared in the reviews of those days. always dressed in semi military garb and riding magnificent ly upon splendid stallion. When the war was over, and while the army was being reorganized, she passed win ter in Washington. endeavoring to ob- tain for her husband ColoneFs com mission, but she was unsuccessful, for really the Prince was not worth a row of pins. and there were too many would-be Colonels, most of them belonging to the noble army of invincibles in peace and invisi- bles in war If the complete history of Mme. Salm-Salm's intrigues, in pursuance of her purpose, were dragged into print, many fair repu- tation would suffer among the shining lights of the United States capital. Afterward she came to Mexico, where the weak Maximilian was easily won to her cause, and soon Prince Salm- Salm was made aide-de camp to the Emperor For a time they lived in clover, but when the crash came Salm- Salm barely escaped being executed with his master. Doubtless he would have been but for the energetic inter- sessions of his wife. who went on horseback, unattended, all the way from Queretaro to San Luis Potosi, and on her knees besought the Indian President Juarez. to spare both the Emperor and his aide. She could not save the former, but tho royal family of Austria was duly grateful. So it became 10 her advantage to re- turn to Europe where the Prince was appointed a Major in the Grenadier Guards of Prussia. After he was killed, at Grayelotte, his irrepressble widow raised hospital brigade, which really accomplished great deal of good during tho war Afterward she mar ried Charles Heneage, an attache of the British Legation at Berlin. But Mme. Agnes Le Clerq-Salm-salm- Heneage did not find the scion of John Bull so pliaut and manageable as her gentle German husband and the pair Soon separated.
