He was of Huguenot descent, which may have accounted for his civilised attitude as statesman and politician, and the wide views which some of his countrymen failed to appreciate.

Nevertheless he went into the field as a brave man, determined to meet the inevitable--fighting. =Jousey.=--Maj. T. Jousey.
