I have a tshark capture file capture using the following command:

tshark -i bond0 -t ad > cap.txt

How to open the cap.txt in Wireshark 1.8.0 ?

That's just text output. You cannot read that with Wireshark. Please use this command instead:

tshark -ni bond0 -t ad -w /var/tmp/output.cap

Then open /var/tmp/output.cap in Wireshark OR capture directly with Wireshark (Capture -> Interfaces).
